PROUD

WARNING ... LONG POST AHEAD!!

The last few days in our family life have been filled with "proud" events!

On Friday, our school held a liturgy as part of their celebrations for 'Catholic Education Week'. As usual, the liturgy was lovely and the participation of the children makes it very special.



My little man was so excited to taking part in the special readings. He was so proud and so serious .... we were very proud too. He done a great job!!

Today were up at 5am and gone by 6am .... it has been a huge day.

REWIND .... A few months ago DH decided to set a personal goal of training to get fit and enter the 'Spark & Helmore Triathlon' in Newcastle (which raises money for the Hunter Medical Research Institute).

So, as planned, he has been training (swimming, jogging and riding his bike) for the big event.





As you can see in this photo he made it to the finish (completed the course in just over 1 hour) ...

He is was proud of himself as were his two biggest fans ... Blake & I!



I got some other great pics and hopefully will find the time to do some scrapbooking this week.

After all that excitement ... we made our way over to Energy Australia Stadium to see the Newcastle Knights & Bulldogs game. It has been years since i have been to a league game. DH is a mad knights supporter, DS has been brainwashed into being a mad knights supporter and I don't mind themeither! It was a great atmosphere, a very close game and the knights won by 1 point ... all in all it finished off a great day out.

Just one more thing ... through the week i lost a post (stupid blogger !!?!) and I can't be bothered retyping whatever the general conversation was but will share the LO i completed with the bright & beautiful American Craft papers from SCRAPBOOKnBITS.



I really like this range ... it is bold & bright which makes it easy to do simple layouts on a limited time budget! SnB has also just got in the biggest & bestest range of chipboard titles (approx 50 different titles) ... everything imaginable from boy titles, girl titles, easter, pets, ballet etc. etc. (if they are not showing on the website send Karen an email ... she's bound to have what you are looking for or at least something very close).

Have a great week everyone.
