I’m back after a nearly 2 month hiatus – partially self inflicted and partially inflicted by the lack of time!!

So much has happened since I last wrote here… a brief synposis:

* November we went to Noosa for 4 days. Had a lovely time – nice and relaxing, change of scenery. My mum came along for the ride and I think she enjoyed herself as well.

* late November – my mother in law came to visit for a week.

* December 12 – we celebrated little Miss Daina’s 1st birthday. Wow – I can’t believe it has been a year already…

* Dec 13 – we had a birthday party with my family and hubby’s family all descending on us for a couple of days. Daina’s birthday ended up being a 3 day celebration starting on her birthday on the Friday and lasting through to Sunday.

* Dec 24 – we celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve – Latvian tradition.  We went to lunch and then in the late afternoon we had presents and then off to bed for little Miss Daina!

* Dec 31 – New Years Eve. We were supposed to be going to Sydney and staying with hubby’s cousin – but their youngest son has/d suspected chicken pox – and we didnt want to inflict that on little Miss Daina. So change of plan and we ended up staying here.

* 2 Jan – drove to Coffs Harbour for the day. Got stuck in dreadful traffic – there is such a need to upgrade the goat’s track which is the Pacific Highway… when will it be done. Had lunch at Sawtell – really lovely spot.

And that brings us to today. Hubby has had 2 weeks off work and has been a miserable so and so… Big changes may be made in the coming weeks – won’t reveal anything just yet.

I have about a million photos to upload. So will do that now and when it’s done, I’ll include some photos here…

Let’s hope that 2009 is a much better year for this little family. I don’t know if we could survive another year like the one we have just had!
