Today I went back to work after being off for a whole week after having a really bad fall over a week ago. I had to keep my leg up for three days. Can you believe that? This is not something that I am very good at.(Sitting with my feet up doing nothing). Anyway I did knit 3 little jackets and started a forth,so it wasn,t an entirely fruitless week. But today was hard having to be up and around and being busy again.

I was reminded that I hadn't mentioned some people in my last, or was it my first entry?

I guess I just got caught up with the excitement of being a blogger hehe.

So I will mention all those special people are very precious to me. Scott was our first born son, because of an operation which I had at the age of 21 the doctor told me it could take some years before I could have any children. I wasn't married at the time and wasn't too concerned about that, when I got married at the age of 23 we thought it would be a while before we would have any children. So we were rather surprised when 9mts 3 weeks and 1 day along came Scott, who was 1 day late. Well Scott is now married to our legal eagle daughter in law Vicky.

To say we were a wee bit surprised when 13 mts later we then had our 1st daughter Wendy would be an understatement, we were not supposed to have any children for a while. (So much for doctors). (Not complaining, honestly). Next came Emma 2 & 1/2 years later. Emma has a degree in Interior & Environmental Design. She married lovely Niels and lives in Demark.

Andrew came next, he is on an apprenticeship to be a joiner, we hope he finds work when he gets through with it. Laura came next. She married Stewart who is attending BYU in Rexburg and is a very clever lad. Laura is arty like her other sisters and loves scrapbooking and photography and oh, did I mention Blogging? Our youngest daughter is Beki who likes to change the spelling of her name and totally confuse me. Beki married Dave and they have Cameron who is 5 he is a joy and was our 1st grandchild. Daisy and Willow are gorgeous little twin girls and are Cameron's little sisters they are 16 mts old and so very different. It was the greatest, most wonderful thing to be at their births and Cameron's too. How many granny's get to do that? Then there is little baby Ozzie who is five months old, I didn't get to be at his birth. Aww.

Anyway, I await any other grandchildren that come along in the future and hope I get to spend time with them whenever I can.

My new haircut.

Well this is an exciting new part to my life, I never thought I would see the day when I joined the young generation of "Bloggers". All thanks to my clever daughter whose name In Laura Helen, Helen being my name. So I guess she gets her cleverness from me, hmm.Well maybe not. But I am her mum.

I have been married to Robert for nearly 34 years. (Wow that is a long time). We have seven children, 5 beautiful daughters and two handsome sons. Our youngest daughter lived for only 6 days but has made a lasting impression. Certainly helping us to remain focused and to really understand the importance of families and eternity.

I have recently been called as Primary Pres. Our Primary has a total of 7 children, 4 little girls and 3 little boys. Primary is my most favourite calling in church. I was released from R.S. Pres. after serving there for nearly 4 years. Do I miss it? the short answer is No.

I love life, the seasons, the colour purple. I am a Harry Potter fan and I like books written by Richard Paul Evans. I love my kids and totally adore my grandchildren whom I would dearly love to spend more time with.

I am 1 of 6 children, my place is 3rd. I have an older sister and brother and 2 younger brothers and a sister.

My older sister lives in Arizona with her husband Larry, they have 5 kids all married and I don't know how many grandchildren they have. (They probably have lost count too) All of my brothers live in our home town Irvine, Ayrshire. Billy married to bell with 2 daughters both married and have 3 or four kids between them. Jeff the youngest remains unmarried. Wilma married to Ronnie and lives in Largs, Ayrshire . They have 2 daughters and 1 son. Alison their oldest daughter lives with Gary and they have a little girl called Sophie.

Until later I am off to have something to eat and then off to my bed.
