Crazy, but good

After a crazy few months, things are looking good here right now. Still crazy, but good.
We have a big eight-months-old-tomorrow boy who can finally sit all by himself. See...
Oh, wait, that's the two-year old terror who insists on plonking himself in front of unsuspecting cameras so that he can see himself on the other side of the camera afterwards...

Back there is the clever baby. A good proportion of the 'good' at the moment is due to the fact that we finally seem to have a reliable daytime routine happening for Daniel. His first batch of teeth is through, and he is now strong enough to sit in his highchair or play on the ground happily for extended periods.What a difference that makes to getting my household chores done! We have mazes happening which to attempt would mean to the risk of your life, with quick sand, danger zones, time bombs and more.And we have talking buckets.Actually, that's an understatement. You wouldn't believe how much that bucket can talk. And it probably tells you something about Ms Buckethead if I note that none of her siblings so much as batted an eyelid during the hour that the bucket was worn. Just a normal everday part of living with Hannah.

On a bigger note, we have been truly blessed again by God's provisions for us. Our house is now under offer, for which we are very thankful. Also, after being without a job for a number of weeks, Phil is currently deciding between two job offers, both of which interest him very much! Add to this the fact that the flu finally seems to be behind us, and that life is settling into some sort of routine, and we certainly have a lot to be thankful for!
