A bit of catch up

WOW its been a while since i last posted anything! Just a bit of warning this post is going to be a bit all over the place!
First i want to wish everyone a very merry Christmas ( i know i am a bit late... but better late then ever right?) i hope everyone found a little bit of joy and peace. And i hope everyone has a happy and safe new year too.

I know i certainly wish that next year will be a much happier one then the last 2 have been. I still find it hard to believe that it has nearly been two full years since Eli and Jett were born... sometimes the pain still feels so raw like it was only yesterday and my arms still ache to hold them. Lately i have bee wondering what they would look like at 2 years old...would they look identical? i don't really think they would. When they were born they didn't really look anything like each other and if i didn't know better i would have thought that they were fraternal twins instead of identical. But i still think sometimes that maybe as they got older they would have started to look more alike. I know for sure that they definitely wouldn't have had similar personalities! How i wish that i could be snuggling up with my little sweetheart Eli ( who always wanted to be cuddled up close to me when he was in my belly) and being drive crazy by Jett who would be the mischief maker just like me ( who instead of laying next to Eli always had to be different and lay on top of him while kicking Eli in the head! lol ). I'm sure if they were here there would never be a dull moment... instead i sit at home in the quiet by myself watching movies sleeping in till the afternoon and reading books all day.

It is less then two weeks until their birthday and i have absolutely no idea what i am going to do for it. I might make a cake and Lani can blow out the candles for them, i might even have a BBQ. All i do know is i am going to take a little time out for myself and be with them. Last year i went to the movies by myself which was nice so i might even do that again this year. What have you done for your babies birthdays/ anniversaries? or what are you planning to do?

At the moment i am away at my mums place. I came up here for Christmas this year. I was meant to go home today but we have had record breaking floods so for now we are all stuck here. I am hoping to make it home on Monday if the water levels go down by then and they open up the roads. We are actually quite lucky where we are because my mums property up up higher so the water isn't flooding her house but some people around her have lakes instead of paddocks. A few of mums friends have been completely flooded out and have been stranded with no power now for 5 days and no way for anyone to get in or out of their property. The town has completely run out of bread and milk and nearly run out of beer! there wont be too many happy people here when that happens.

Because of the amount of rain we haven't had a chance to do much in the boys memorial garden and we haven't been able to put the ashes in there either. We didn't want to do it until it dries up a bit to make sure that they don't just get washed away, so my mum will just have to do it by herself after i leave ( if i leave )

I am planning on doing a couple giveaways on here sometime in January for Eli and Jett's birthday but that wont probably happen until a bit later in the month so look out for that.

Congratulations if you have gotten this far i hope some of it made some sense :P 
When i get home i will upload some photos.

So if you would like to can you please email me rikkidonkin(at)gmail(dot)com or leave a comment with your name, mailing address, baby/ babies names and birth dates so i can add them to my calendar.  Thank you :)
