Well, didn't 2012 flash past rather quickly! It seems like only a month or so ago that I was writing a "Happy New Year 2012" post, but in fact it's been twelve months.
I'll admit it now - I was VERY SLACK last year, postwise. I think I managed to post twice. Twice? I really will try to make more of an effort this year. Not that it's a New Years Resolution. I don't make them. I'm not anti-resolution or anything. I just think that if you want to turn over a new leaf, you can do it whenever you want. You don't need to wait until New Year.
So... what has happened since my last post in August? Let's see. Cheyenne turned 9 in September, I turned 39 and Steve turned 41 in October, and Cheyenne finished grade 3 with an encouraging (although not fabulous) report card. We bought Cheyenne an early Christmas present of a Honda CR50 dirt bike, which she is getting more confident at riding. My boss closed her office for the whole of December, so I've had a month off work. Nice, except that no work equals no pay for casuals. Oh well. I finally bought myself a new Christmas tree, managed to get my Christmas cards done on time, and did a little bit of Christmas baking (including Baileys balls - YUM!). We had a nice quiet family Christmas lunch at my mum's followed by a bbq dinner at Steve's mum and dad's. As usual, Cheyenne received far too many presents.
We've just had a relaxing week away camping with friends at Borumba Deer Park. Although we do enjoy it there, we have vowed to try somewhere different this year. I sense some Googling research in my future, lol.
Steve returned to work today after two weeks off, and I go back to work on Wednesday, so I guess with three weeks to go, it's time to start covering school books and getting ready for the new school year.
I wonder if 2013 will seem to fly by as quickly as 2012 did.
