Well we are finally here. Sadly packing and moving and saying goodbye to our little home in Holland Park West where so many great memories were created. I was doing well, until I saw the new owners taking pictures of the SOLD sign out the front. The tears flowed a little. But all for good and I was excited to be making a new home for us.<br />
Two months on now and I can call this place our home, but it took some time. The freedom that came with selling and finalising some debts is always foremost in my mind and reminds when I am feeling a sadness that we do not own a house anymore. It is still there, but I am hopeful of our future and the sense of peace I have as we move forward. Maybe we will buy again, maybe we won't, but what is more important is that we are good stewards of all God has given us and teach our boys the same. We never stop learning, do we?<br />
<br />
One thing Joey was waiting for in the moving was picking up his new doberman puppy. Raggie, or Ragstar as we affectionately call him. He is four months old and a very energetic, get into everything puppy. I have only just successfully trained him NOT to pull clothes off the line! Sadly him and Lucy are not getting on! Oh well, she has become more of an inside cat anyway, still very adored by the boys. <br />
<br />
Two of my favourite things about this house is my kitchen, it is open and airy and opens onto the deck with a lovely view and is old and retroy and it finds me cooking and lingering a little longer than I used to, so we have been having some yummy things lately. Also the backyard is perfect with two trees placed just right for our hammock. I find the boys outside a lot more and I don't miss the concrete jungle of the other house! Just green and sunshine and fruit trees and flowers. God is good.<br />

I was tentative about planning this party since I have no idea about ninja's - can you believe? But my boys were unrelenting in their request and I have a secret love of planning these things so....in the midst of selling our house we embarked on this afternoon of fun and I have to say it was a huge success! You know it is when your sons come to you the next day exclaiming how awesome it was over and over!! Glad I pushed through the quiet desire I had to cancel in the midst of high stress levels negotiating our house.<br /><br />Some of the things we did were:<br />I made headbands for every boy to wear as they arrived.<br />I sourced dense foam from reverse garbage to make swords to be decorated and used in games and of course sparring.<br />We played the magical orb game where the boys stand in a circle and balloons are thrown in the middle and using their swords the balloons can't touch the ground.<br />The biggest hit game though was the plank game. A plank of wood balanced on bricks on either end and a good ole pillow fight in the middle. Lots of boy energy used up. Thanks for this Cher!<br />The pinata was a homemade chinese lantern and each boy had a chinese take away box for their goodies.<br />The art class was run by my dear friend Melissa who runs <a href="mailto:weaveandwonder@blogspot.com">weave +wonder </a>. She does art classes at a local coffee shop and birthday parties. Take a look at beautiful work on her blog. She did hero and villian portraits with the boys and though a few were tentative, they had a go and loved their creations.<br />My cake this year was super easy, I have learned that you do not have to go to amazing lengths when cake and icing is appreciated anyway it comes! However I did find these cool ninja figures from a cheap shop and the boys loved it. Oh and the ninja shaped cookie cutters were a great find!Kerriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06075604920342591472noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188031564015788575.post-64825117781286456082011-03-26T00:32:00.000-07:002011-03-26T00:36:58.123-07:00One Thousand Gifts...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_9BVjWqNoaUmeyozmm273HvYumL75M5AVjBinK9MZa-eOp483OQRTFF2zwXZd4Dch4XMkxegrJVc8es-hNlwZUTdeL1cytjjIplUAGhq8UeB19gMdKA3YB0bOwIBexROsQi7GValvVog/s1600/P1030335.JPG"><br /></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfZfZV0MvuQqpHmtr3SWks1ktKIZJq8JqBq43uGyyPcy-WAP4OXzHairt8mBc3GSN6xtH4kMY1ZWGu7VeHDOBvQn7qAvkoJ1t7k1MXLedwfDthHggiBrtA1wkt4W2IMlWoqPC2mCYbSa8/s1600/P1020867.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfZfZV0MvuQqpHmtr3SWks1ktKIZJq8JqBq43uGyyPcy-WAP4OXzHairt8mBc3GSN6xtH4kMY1ZWGu7VeHDOBvQn7qAvkoJ1t7k1MXLedwfDthHggiBrtA1wkt4W2IMlWoqPC2mCYbSa8/s320/P1020867.JPG" border="0" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>I am naming my gifts - naming offers the gift of recognition. Now in the bible a name reveals the very essence of a thing or rather it's essence as God's gift. To name a thing is to manifest the meaning and value God gave it, to know it as coming from God and to know it's place and function within the cosmos created by God. To name a thing, in other words, is to bless God for it and in it. <i>Excerpt from 'One Thousand Gifts' by Ann Voskamp.</i><br /><br />I am counting.<br /><i> </i><br />11. Sounds of early morning.<br />12. Mind filled to brim with ideas for my book.<br />13. The thought of a family filled weekend.<br />14. Crisper autumn mornings and more to come.<br />15. First cup of tea for the day.<br /><br />I smile, I can't believe how much I smile.<br />Record the moment. Numbered. See the one at the centre of it all. Record the blessings. Enumerate the gifts, Ann reminds us.<br /><br /><i>Psalm 90:12 Teach us to number our days aright that we may gain a heart of wisdom.</i><br /><br />The way to learn to number our days is to count the moments of his grace...<br /><br />16. Lemon water soothing throat.<br />17. Watching my baby run around, giggling, glowing with friend before school bell.<br />18. Sitting in the silence with my firstborn, no words necessary.<br />19. Whites glowing in the sun.<br />20. Hard working husband home while still light.<br /><br /><i>Psalm 84:5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hears on pilgrimage</i>.<br /><i>As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs - they go from strength to strength till each appears before God in Zion.</i><br /><i><br /></i><br />Keep counting these moments of grace. Even in the midst of a deep shadow filled valley. I love that it slows me down, I recognise what is right before me and I am learning to have a heart full of gratitude no matter the circumstances...I am a slow learner but he is leading and we will count together.Kerriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06075604920342591472noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188031564015788575.post-30278060364151057362011-03-26T00:00:00.000-07:002011-03-26T00:00:51.447-07:00Meet Lucy...<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

So on Joey's suggestion, we brought home this lovely little kitten whom has to be the most affectionate cat I have ever had. The boys LOVE her with their very rough cuddles and she tolerates to a point...but I think I am her favourite and it is very nice, she makes me smile. Soon we will bring home a playmate for her...Joey is planning on having another doberman. Won't that be fun, at least Lucy will be right at home and put him in his place.Kerriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06075604920342591472noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188031564015788575.post-62823811048612628842011-03-17T04:59:00.000-07:002011-03-26T00:02:55.189-07:00The Flood of 2011<table class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

The inland tsunami had just come through Toowoomba and we all looked on in horror. Then the news came through that the torrent was headed toward us. I was at work and the worry was tangible with many staff unsure if they would even get home. I made it home, then the panic in the community was real over probable power losses and access to petrol and food. So I made all the necessary stops even cueing for over an hour at Woolies for essentials. I had never seen the shelves so bare, it was incredible. People were chatting in the cues and aisles, I already sensed a community spirit not normally seen in a grocery store. We were braced for the coming peak. Told to stay in our homes. Well we did, but ventured a couple of suburbs over to see these levels at Yeronga before the peak. Thankfully it peaked lower than 1974. Everyone has heard of 1974. But even though it peaked less, the damage was much greater with more houses and businesses in the flood zones. The way people came together after the flood for the clean up was inspirational. It will be a very memorable wet summer.Kerriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06075604920342591472noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188031564015788575.post-17432283253597020532011-03-13T21:24:00.000-07:002011-03-13T21:24:06.519-07:00Daddy teaching all those boy skills!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizUCmp6UQfUofAb_aeBpdavUBUrlM5TrMW9jquFdeeOVa8twZTkTSp9rnhOGpAPxwnB3t7D1MzFfJK71TI1yQTRfgQ2ueGLw7a7igbwP5bj6dy6mvJkcdkZqsSBpc9w3XSC3LFdt5M2_o/s1600/DSCF0248.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizUCmp6UQfUofAb_aeBpdavUBUrlM5TrMW9jquFdeeOVa8twZTkTSp9rnhOGpAPxwnB3t7D1MzFfJK71TI1yQTRfgQ2ueGLw7a7igbwP5bj6dy6mvJkcdkZqsSBpc9w3XSC3LFdt5M2_o/s400/DSCF0248.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEQooqpkDZqUPzO3EvhgcWPn6eeWTQeUzDiCqOkEPZzITvu5Foma0wnPIKv71bYjEntO2v9B8Y5sh39sfquAJq78JxyHE-qSpyYklHzlkmB6X_Bss_ahMJd_xBCbBgfLJwZSRBP963ICk/s1600/DSCF0251.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEQooqpkDZqUPzO3EvhgcWPn6eeWTQeUzDiCqOkEPZzITvu5Foma0wnPIKv71bYjEntO2v9B8Y5sh39sfquAJq78JxyHE-qSpyYklHzlkmB6X_Bss_ahMJd_xBCbBgfLJwZSRBP963ICk/s400/DSCF0251.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnjY83ZVGBtoEh3BxVijU17Q2j91Ll0yerrjUMPR8i54iml22V0HqNMM92GM6J9DM2BzkhocKRgpazZ1cClp4LKQCXkqzzAhmzumnI_wKwxDQWXkLuIHHkcXnsSYU8pfEvqh7oxpxuk3E/s1600/DSCF0254.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnjY83ZVGBtoEh3BxVijU17Q2j91Ll0yerrjUMPR8i54iml22V0HqNMM92GM6J9DM2BzkhocKRgpazZ1cClp4LKQCXkqzzAhmzumnI_wKwxDQWXkLuIHHkcXnsSYU8pfEvqh7oxpxuk3E/s400/DSCF0254.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFBsw3jVnPPMjk9ZHa9DTDDxWgFN_Z9WSNtikDJdkeDtQTxCjECszKZEqGfkhsYLHDBT7OPlOctad32EUMk2ZkBtt8RNWQV7BkeUxY78zJ2gyTQOTfOXtKv8MH6i2o40No0H043Ffprl8/s1600/DSCF0259.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFBsw3jVnPPMjk9ZHa9DTDDxWgFN_Z9WSNtikDJdkeDtQTxCjECszKZEqGfkhsYLHDBT7OPlOctad32EUMk2ZkBtt8RNWQV7BkeUxY78zJ2gyTQOTfOXtKv8MH6i2o40No0H043Ffprl8/s400/DSCF0259.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_CDEa14GlvuDT8S7xFE8p6hdd3N_2n0crGfAJvEOqHSNtmR9byXaIDwpoC5luESusK_TJxQBIEQjZ9I-vpGWS5sQt08WisPUt6o6fBZigM33DHkte7vkdP2RgC7Qpf4ZPesKJmCd-gBc/s1600/DSCF0262.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_CDEa14GlvuDT8S7xFE8p6hdd3N_2n0crGfAJvEOqHSNtmR9byXaIDwpoC5luESusK_TJxQBIEQjZ9I-vpGWS5sQt08WisPUt6o6fBZigM33DHkte7vkdP2RgC7Qpf4ZPesKJmCd-gBc/s400/DSCF0262.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjeJ9_5asIhB0G5Nk3fRt9QTk_SQx1dd3wnQcL9aEgGcG4d6peELrFbQQQUgeAt9LWWPQMGRhXRe0XwCwieqyxEipslRD2BJZ7LYwqSOj_nARhLWHrgOGPTMIlogABcRgiUaZTEGEm990/s1600/DSCF0266.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjeJ9_5asIhB0G5Nk3fRt9QTk_SQx1dd3wnQcL9aEgGcG4d6peELrFbQQQUgeAt9LWWPQMGRhXRe0XwCwieqyxEipslRD2BJZ7LYwqSOj_nARhLWHrgOGPTMIlogABcRgiUaZTEGEm990/s400/DSCF0266.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>It was lovely to capture this afternoons work. A little bit of coaxing needed but they found it was not so bad and work is always good for the soul! I love the moments of passing on wisdom, today mowing the lawn and washing the car, tomorrow other seeds of truth passed on to live life well.

How Joseph pulled it off I have no idea. I had a lovely birthday breakfast and expected nothing else so seeing the mass of faces that afternoon sent me spinning. I literally spent the night floating from person to person. I felt totally spoilt especially seeing all my family there.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Six of our lovely friends joined us for a feast! A dinner to celebrate my forty years! Joseph, chef for the night prepared our amazing seafood spread. Ros and Michael, Tami and Adam and Robbie and Paul. Gorgeous long time friends to share an all too quick evening.<br />
Wonderful Ma and Pop cared for the boys for a sleepover and my blissful childfree ( I love them to bits of course) evening began with an afternoon to decorate the table, prepare the salads and sing and dance (by myself of course) aswell as reflect on turning forty... words that come to mind are gratitude, surrender, generosity, new opportunities and 'Your will, not mine be done'.<br />
<br />
If I have learned anything in these forty years it is these things - I need <b>Him</b> to live <i>purposefully</i>, I love <i>giving</i> and <i>serving</i> and it is what we were made to do, His amazing <b>Grace</b> covers my many daily failings and His <b><i>Will</i></b> is infinitely better than mine could ever be... I have learned this very thing from laying down my desire for another child, of this I am broken... but grateful, it is enough that He calls me daughter and that His plans and promises will be fulfilled in his perfect way. Thank you Father for every day you have given me and for Jesus! Thank you too my precious family and friends given to me to journey through life, with all it's ups and downs, it is a joy to travel with you. My heart is full of thanksgiving because of you xx (p.s bring on celebration no 2).Kerriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06075604920342591472noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188031564015788575.post-76541711663454506302010-12-04T23:36:00.000-08:002010-12-04T23:36:26.827-08:00A few days away together...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7G1Hf0VBPBMP7jidGronkvfFawzEtiPHYJ_5KhMKIOlL58sfWctoF6wBRcWxK5c0JquR8uCjQMSPV_RXmSl-0c8jzIWqVsgxrIX5aYVFzhsZi2kMI1HI1vzrCSQPatJhmtG99AopfngU/s1600/P1030301.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7G1Hf0VBPBMP7jidGronkvfFawzEtiPHYJ_5KhMKIOlL58sfWctoF6wBRcWxK5c0JquR8uCjQMSPV_RXmSl-0c8jzIWqVsgxrIX5aYVFzhsZi2kMI1HI1vzrCSQPatJhmtG99AopfngU/s400/P1030301.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> We arrived in Kingscliff to just a sprinkling of rain, before the winds picked up, so we enjoyed a sit on our balcony while the boys splashed and marveled how instantly relaxed we felt.</div><br />

A new tradition we are starting this year using our advent calendar.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Now this Jesse Tree that our hearts climb high in this season of waiting, it's named after the Jesse who was the father of David, the first royal branch in the tree of the Messiah to come, David to whom God promised that his line and his sons and his family would be King forever. And when his sons and grandsons and great grandsons turned from God an loved sin more than their Father and their Kingdoms fell, and it seemed as though the whole royal family tree of Jesse had been chopped right off at the roots, our covenant, promise keeping God, He vowed, "Out of the stump of David's family will grow a shoot - yes, a new Branch bearing fruit from the old root... In that day the heir to David's throne will be a banner of salvation to all the world. The nations will rally to him, and the land where he lives will be a glorious place." (Isa 11:1,10) <i>Ann Voskamp A Jesse Tree Journey</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>We knew the time was drawing closer... the time when Sebastian would want to know why things can be difficult for him, why he can get so frustrated and confused by the world around him...<br />
I had been praying for the right time.<br />
<br />
I had some books for when the time was right and it was...at 9pm one night when he had been struggling all day, seemingly not being able to make sense out of anything that was happening - he had been angry and confused and so had I.<br />
<br />
Bedtime tuck ins are precious aren't they, so many things come out and I love these times.<br />
We were having one of our talks when I asked him if he realised he was different in some ways which makes it harder for him to cope some days, and that I had a book to help explain this and perhaps tomorrow we could go through it.<br />
<br />
He didn't want to wait.<br />
<br />
We read it through with tears streaming down both our faces. He asked why I hadn't told him before which broke my heart and if I could read this book to his brother so that he would understand him...<br />
<br />
I am amazed at Sebastian's maturity to accept this and our loving Father who orchestrated this very precious moment and others we have had since this day as we continue to talk about overcoming the difficulties and embracing the gifts that Aspergers Syndrome brings to our lives.Kerriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06075604920342591472noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188031564015788575.post-43337336906921746502010-09-22T00:53:00.000-07:002010-09-22T00:53:50.363-07:00A dose of Kingscliffe...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh_hzH0Ip_Sn7l3oONXDlajw0be9UKQpqkZ22dAeBTTsuHVTp9v7zIfqmai50O6eIaw-uvec_WJ_-mqSZyQTnV7WLJVirwvrYo9sc669IkGGz8IWmZruoiE2osGqOoyipEi_Bkxj9YRm4/s1600/IMG_0487.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh_hzH0Ip_Sn7l3oONXDlajw0be9UKQpqkZ22dAeBTTsuHVTp9v7zIfqmai50O6eIaw-uvec_WJ_-mqSZyQTnV7WLJVirwvrYo9sc669IkGGz8IWmZruoiE2osGqOoyipEi_Bkxj9YRm4/s400/IMG_0487.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />

All my expectations of the weekend were to sit, connect, breathe in the views of the water and maybe finish my crocheted throw rug. These were totally exceeded as we laughed together, feasted on culinary delights, watched a couple of ordinary movies and I was completely able to be myself with treasured friends. Time to reflect, journal, sit in the sun, walk and smile...such a gift after the valley I've walked through.
