Today is Ethan's 7th birthday, which he shared with his great-grandfather. Quite an amazing thing really, that he was born on his great-grandfathers birthday as well. This is one of the best photos I have - all 4 generations:
This was taken Christmas 2004 I think before my Grandfather passed away, and is a photo I will cherish forever. Today Ethan is 7 and growing so fast, he is his own independent little person and sitting ere 6000 miles away, I miss both of the boys like mad. Today I cried - it is really hard not being there for them on days like this. Ethan also said to my Mother this week that he wishes I hadn't moved as he doesn't get to see me anymore, just a "false" me - which I assume is what he thinks the webcam is. That broke my heart, it is very sad.
I watched John Grogan's Marley and Me this week - and that made me cry as well (hmmm, all this emotion could be pointing to a certain time of month approaching come to think of it) but it has to be one of the most touching stories I have watched and would love to get the book. The way it was portrayed in the movie was just brilliant, and I am sure that the book will be even better - and even more touching as it is a true story. Pio and I agreed that no, we definitely don't want as crazy a mutt as Marley, but a puppy would be fantastic. My cats are gorgeous, but they are not the same as a dog (although Zazu isn't far off admittedly, he could very well be the Marley of cats the way he destroys everything in sight). So now I get to look for a puppy!!
The week has flown by as usual. I have finished my three movies and sent them out to everyone - the one of Ethan and Aaron, Sharon and I, and the second one of Pio and I that came out very well and made me laugh my head off. So Vegas is a very cool toy!! I will keep making movies to keep me occupied and pass the day!
The Pajero is once again parked in the drive and is now running - however as usual, it now needs MORE work doing to it that I am just furious about. Am so sick of this car causing nothing but trouble. So now I am able to drive it, although it has the worst brakes in the world as that is the next thing that needs doing, along with the universal joints, then the window winders that are breaking need replacing as well, and heaven only knows what else will come up!! It's about time a match went in the petrol tank! And don't even get me started on the Toyota!
Vicky and Tiaan are coming for the weekend - oh crap, have the meat on the stove - so it will be fun. It's a long weekend, so am sure it will be busy and a lot of fun. I am feeling very tired as usual so hope I can keep up with the rest of the crazies ...
Right, let me go and finish the washing and cleaning and and and ...
