We're off!

Its that time of year again!

What time of year you may ask ... well I wouldn't want to rub it in too much but,

Every two years we are very privileged to pack our bags, pack our car and head up to the beautiful CORAL BAY. 

We will be in this sun ridden, beach bumming town for a whole week! I can feel the relaxing and sun baking happening already.

So here is me saying adios for a little bit.

When I get back you can expect updates on the house as well as some pics from Coral Bay.

Enjoy your long weekend!

God bless.

Love Hayley

Big Bro In law

This past week we had a visit from Owen. He managed to squeeze a little visit to our house on Tuesday night and then we all caught up for dinner on Wednesday night at mum & dads. 

It was great to see the O-Man again. It kinda felt like he hasn't been gone which was nice. But with the realization that he was here also came the knock on the head that one didn't particularly need reminding of. Bronya, Ella & Sami WEREN'T.

He told us how much the girls have grown, how much Sami now says, how hot it is there, how Bron was settling in etc etc. Of course it is GREAT to hear all this but it is also a little bit sad and does bring a tear to my eye because I start to think about how much I miss them all.

I did laugh when dad prayed for Peanut and after prayer the first thing Owen says is "Ellas allergic to your baby" :D Only Owen! :) I am also glad that Owen can see a funny side to Princess' allergies because I know at times it can be tough.

I pray that God will bless Owen on his flight(s) back "home" that he may have a safe and enjoyable trip.

To Bron, Ella & Sami (mainly Bron) I pray that God will continue to be with you while you are adventuring this new path. I also know that this past week must have been hard knowing that Owen was here with everyone and you were still there wishing to be "here".  Thank you so much for all the little surprises you sent along with him. 

So this is me, saying HI, saying I miss you, saying God bless you and above all saying I love you all very muchly!

Little Miracle ... Big Miracle

Well,

First things first,

Jason & I have been married for just over three years. 

In his sincere wisdom the Lord has withheld children from us for a period of time,

but we would like to announce a big miracle in our lives,

We have been blessed with a little miracle, 

I am currently 12 weeks (3 months) pregnant. 

Due in March next year.

All has been going well so far.

I must admit it has been a bit of a roller coaster ride for the past 8 weeks. We found out that I was expecting shortly after we had decided to refocus and finish the house off. As the doctors initial outlook for us was that it was highly improbable that we would conceive naturally. But like he said when we went back, "IMPROBABLE IS NEVER IMPOSSIBLE" God works in wonderful ways.

So naturally when we found out we were extremely excited but still erring on the side of caution. It is hard to explain but when you have been wanting something for so long it is hard to feel to excited because there is always a fear of falling even further if something goes wrong. Thankfully the Lord has blessed the little "peanut" (as Jason says) and myself so far.

So our lives at the moment are all a go.

Like I said before we are currently in the process of finishing the house off. Which has turned to work out perfectly, as the house will be completely finished when peanut arrives. Gods providence is wonderful. 

We are getting flooring put down which should be finished today. The carpet goes in next week as do the blinds a short time after that. Then we are putting exposed aggregate (concrete with small rocks in it) as a path around the whole house, then the decking is going to get done along with lining the alfresco and porch and then the big job of reticulation and grass.

So with thankfulness to the Lord and great joy in my heart I must say I am looking forward to the coming months. 

I would also like to thank everyone who has wished us well and prayed for us before and continue to pray for us now.
