the week that was

Posted on March 12, 2014March 17, 2014 by Libby Withnall

It was the week of amazing skies, and some crazy thunderstorms.

It was the week of the Iditarod….

Dallas and Aliy (my favs shown above at the start) came in 1st and 2nd in a VERY exciting finish. There had been a really bad storm and Dallas didn’t even know he’d won the race, he thought he’d come in 3rd. I’m happy for his win, but sad for Aliy as this was her 3rd year in 2nd place (twice now behind Dallas and once behind his Dad, Mitch, who came in 3rd this race).

It was definitely a race to be remembered. The stories still being told are just incredible. I’ll definitely be ordering the DVD of this years race!!

It was the week we had another birdie visitor….

Luckily after a short rest and recovery is was able to fly off…

It was the week Kevin got himself a new toy….

and was able to get this stunning photo of where we live…

And it was the week of car rides with Bailey…

It was also my 7th week of being unwell, and not able to get much done :-(.

It was the week of overcast walks….

and a stunning sunrise walk….

It was the week Christy found towels named after her :-)….

and the week of hunting for suitable formal shoes. We ended up at Payless and she is CRAZY about these little heels….

It was the week of Christy’s last day in Primary school and my last day in the uniform shop (a job I’ve been doing for the last 7 years).

It was the week I got a book of these beautiful stamps…

and the week I finally stuck up our new collage photos…

It was the week of a lovely surprise gift from an online friend….

and the week of a haircut and style…

It was the week I saw these lovely Christmas flowers… which were of course sold out a few days later when I went to buy them….

and it was the week I saw this stunning flower on one of my walks….

It was the week I started shopping in preparation for Christmas…

and the week Amy made these cookies…

for a tea party that she hosted for some of her school friends….

It was the week I FINALLY found some time to lie out by the pool….

and it was the week Kasumi (our Japanese exchange student from 2 years ago) sent me this photo with the Christmas card I had sent her….

It was the week Kevin helped to defrost our little freezer….

and it was the week I was happy to get to spend more time with my puppies….

It was the week of lovely walks to the lake….

and early morning shadows….

It was the week the pups got to have a swim…

and a free run….

It was the week I found these cute Christmas tissues in Woolies…

and the week Amy and I had fun shopping and checking out Christmas decorations at Shellharbour Square….

It was the week I fell in love with the Emily Button things in Target. Seriously, I am so in love with this.

and it was the week Amy made a delicious dinner for Nan’s birthday….

It was definitely a night to celebrate as she’d just been given the remarkable news that the cancer in her lungs had all but disappeared and no further treatment is required.

It was the week I took Christy into emergency (after being off school for the last 2 weeks), as recommended by her GP. But it seems there is nothing more we can do for her until we see her Pediatrition in January. Thankfully she has been feeling well since our visit.
