It's been a while...

Ya, it's been a while but I'm sure I'll be forgiven, or forgotten.... I'm sure that it's one of the two... Just not sure which one!!!

I hope that you all had a nice and relaxing Christmas.... Mine was nice... The birth of a healthy baby is always a nice addition, especially when she was planned!!! Alex (4yr old son) loves Christmas... He was a bit of a Santa stalker and whenever we went to the shops, he always wanted to see each one that was there.... There are usually a few per shopping centre (mall), one for the main mall, and then maybe another one hiding in the larger department stores.... He also loved the Christmas lights and wanted to go out for hours and hours looking for them....

As gifts, Alex was blessed with a fairly large electric race track... One that Santa didn't really consider where it would actually go once the living room was deemed unsuitable for its home.... He got some other things as well, and I think that Bec has posted some of the pics a little while ago... I don't have them on my laptop yet, but I may post them yet....

A little while ago, me and Bec learned that we had to teach ALex a little about tact.... and that it's not really a great thing to advertise the fact that you have ..... gas..... He has a stinky behind. That much must be said up front for any of the rest to be of use... So.. we realize we have a problem when I'm walking with Alex and then out of the blue he says... "Smell that!" At first, we didn't know what he was talking about, but then we soon found out.... So we had to teach him that that was rude... and stinky.

So than on the way home from visiting Rebecca's parents down the coast last week, I was driving, and we've been having far too much car trouble lately, to the point where we weren't sure the car woudl make the 3.5 hr trip, something really stinky hit my nose and I thought the car was dying... So I voiced my disgust for the smell, and then Alex started laughing!!!! So, I guess it wasn't the car. Thanks Alex. Well, I guess we'll have to work a little harder on him.... We're really still trying to get the "Don't yell out that you've "fluffed" in public" thing down first.... and then work go from there....

ANyway, I start work on Monday, real work... no more of this student crap, and I will also try to start posting more regularly... I think that was more to myself than to anyone else....

Cheerio.
