I started my new job today (waiting's over !) , and got to meet some of the new people I would be working with - a surprisingly fresh, young troupe.
It's going to be great !

It's all over !
Yip ! Heidi and Zi chucked the meds into the bin yesterday, and though we were too tired to celebrate properly, the feeling of relief was there....
It was also Heidi's birthday (still thirtysomething, for those who are wondering :) ), and we had a quiet candle-lit dinner after the boys got to bed....
We didn't have a cake, sadly, but I plan to rectify that tonight...there's still SO much to celebrate, and give thanks for.
Adam is MUCH more independant now that he is crawling and moving about in his walker - he can follow almost anywhere inside the house, and is happiest when chasing his brother...

Family Reunion 2005 !
We had a wonderful surprise visit from Ma and Dad for lunch on Saturday - the boys were in top form, with young Adam crawling all over the lawn....
Scheduling for Family Reunion 2005 was bandied around, and some conclusions were reached : Dad will travel to Australia in August, and we will all join the rest of the family, in Auckland for Xmas.
Detailed travel plans are yet to be firmed up, but this is good progress...
And for some inspiration, here are some of the lyrics from Jill Scott's "Family Reunion"....enjoy !
"Family Reunion" - Jill Scott - Beautifully Human - Sounds and Words Volume 2
We at the family reunion, tellin' jokes and playin' spades
Uncle Dave is on the barbeque grill
Grandma braggin 'bout the blanket she made
For the new baby on her way
Even though the daddy ain't really ready
This child is coming...anyway, yeah
Neicey made her famous potatoe salad, somehow it turns out green
Maybe its all the scalyums, could be the celery
But oh, Uncle Jerome loves it (Hmm)
Hey baby baby, here comes my favorite...my favorite cousin
He says he doing fine, takin'it one step a day but in my heart I know it ain't that way
[Chorus]
Whoa whoa-o-whoa whoa-o-whoa whoa-o-whoa
What can you say...its family
And whoa whoa-o-whoa whoa-o-whoa whoa-o-whoa
What can you say...its family

My Waiting
This past three weeks I've been doing more than my fair share of waiting.
I have been wasting time, waiting.
People have been wasting their time, and mine, asking me about the reason for my waiting....
"Our patience will achieve more than our force."
Unknown
I am quite a patient soul, but my patience has worn thin,
So I search
And I read
And I write,
To fill the gaps between being busy
And being questioned,
About my Waiting
"The trick is to make sure you don't die waiting for prosperity to come. "
Lee Iacocca
"The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper. "
Eden Phillpotts
"Waiting and hoping are the whole of life, and as soon as a dream is realized it is destroyed. "
Gian Carlo Menotti
"Waiting is a trap. There will always be reasons to wait. The truth is, there are only two things in life, reasons and results, and reasons simply don't count. "
