all with a nasty infection on my chest ..grrrrrr

the life of a mother right ?!

this weekend asti's had a basketball thing /both days.

playing teams from tamworth/newcastle/maitland and other here on the coast.

she is so excited to be involved,ever so humble our asti....

evy on the other hand doesnt do sport_

even though she has taken to my training sessions
she isnt into team competitions ,just some skateboarding-her bellydancing

and exercising thru the obstacle course that is her bedroom.lol

its been a while ,but with the help of my trusty head phones
and the funky sounds of the chill out sessions
i was able to complete 4 pages ..lol

this is my favourite shot of the day.

.i just love the whimsy in the shot and of her leaping

for the joy of living !

here's my mantra for the week !

we are shaped by our thoughts ; we become what we think;

when the mind is pure,

joy follows ,like a shadow that never leaves .
