Busy times

Went to Dubbsville last week, found out previously that Lewis Rumiz’s son Alex died in a boating accident on Sydney harbour previous week, very saddened by this news, wishing Lewis all the best at the moment.

Caught up with workmates in Dubbo, handed in my resignation on the 6th, did some shopping etc.  Stayed in the camper in a caravan park a couple of nights which was really successful.  Towed the camper and put it up with the help of the boys.  Saturday Mum came to stay on her way back from CWA conf at Tweed Heads, she kindly offered to look after the boys while Jase and I went out for dinner together (first time in ages), we had a lovely time out.  Next day was mothers day and as it happened my birthday as well.  Got up early, Jase cooked breakfast, went on a bushwalk and BBQ with Mum, Jase, Aiden and Sam, Suava and Lucy, Bec and Flynn, and Jeanette, Frank, Oscar and Kalani.  Went to Castle rock, great views over the plains. Really nice day out.

Next day went to the dentist, had impression done for splint to help stop grinding of teeth and clicking jaw.  Also informed by the dentist that I need both bottom wisdom teeth out and to expect the worst when it comes to after pain as no guarantees re. ease of extraction but needs to be done so grin and bear it. Given over a week to wait, too much time to think about it really, hopefully he will do both next Wednesday.

Sam is so much fun to be around.  He is pushy and starting to recognise things, he knows how to demand attention, won’t let Aiden pinch anything without putting up a protest.  He is starting to take his first steps while holding hands.  He tests his balance by standing with support then letting go and seeing how long till he falls down on his bottom.  Aiden includes Sam in all his stories, we all take on roles, today I was Diesel, Aiden Cranky the Crane and Sam was Toby.  Took Aiden and Sam down the street for a bike ride, met a neighbour who is due to give birth next month.  Aiden is more confident on the bike but not pedalling as yet, he’ll get there soon.
