Half way through 2016 already!

I am amazed that we are now half way through the year already!

June just flew by so quickly.  Another birthday for my eldest daughter Alex and I (we are a week apart).  Another anniversary of the passing of my beautiful stepson Sean, 16 years now.

However, where there is sadness, there is also happiness.

As happened 16 years ago, I found out I was pregnant with my second daughter Jemma right at this time.

We now can announce that Alex is pregnant with my grandchild - a little girl!

(and she doesn't have Fragile X at all).  Due in January.

I'm super EXCITED!

Waiting for genetic testing results is a torture all of it's own, and I don't wish it on anyone.

For my birthday we went to a cafe that makes fancy milkshakes.  The kids loved it.  It was very yummy but not something you would want to have every day.  SO sweet!

Financially it has been a tough month.  

Both our cars needed rego.  Goodbye to over $2k right there.

Someone needed to borrow a few thousand from us.

Both our cars needed new tyres (as the place that put them on didn't wheel balance them correctly - sigh)

We made it through.

I feel like I have lost my mojo though.  Too busy and lots of stress - not a good combo. 

This month I am focusing on getting it back!

I have an exciting month coming up - we are going away on a road trip, having visitors stay over and going to our favourite farm at Courtney's for a fun play day.

Watch for updates!!!

Love to all xx
