I have 2 things to share......

1...will make you laugh.....
Picture the scene I have just picked up C3 from the school bus stop,
we are walking back home...
when he innocently asks me
"mummy when will my arm pits smell?"
needless to say I nearly wet my pants
I couldn't stop laughing it was hilarious
his sweet innocent face just looked at me confused
"what is so funny?"

I love these moments...........

2. Please help this organisation stay open.
They are not being funded by the government any more
and they are constantly looking for sponsors to pay the staffs wages
unfortunately the organisations future looks bleak,
the main and only concern of the staff is
what will happen to the handicapped children???
So Athenians....if you can, pass by the bazaar
and show your support!!

This sweet little babe came into our lives
the fact that I gave birth to him still amazes me!!
It took this precious little babe........
8 years to become
this handsome,
considerate,
sweet,
witty,
intelligent,
with cool fashion sense
young man

We love you....
always
daddy, mummy and Josephine
