some kind of mistake

i've been thinking recently. thinking about what is says in the bible about children being a reward. there must be my namesake out there, barren. my boys are sensational. you should hear ben speak. using the correct tense like it will be easy and making himself chuckle with his own dancing. jonah has picked up that his brother is awesome and therefore follows suit, literally. his smiles are as honest as i am besotted. together ben and jonah will take over this world. they've taken over mine and they turn heads like natas did when he turned up at the paraparaumu skatepark and ollied that blast ramp. ben waddled his way through the food court this evening waving at diners and singing "i've been working on the railroad, all the live long day...". jonah gets passed around at a party more than the present in the parcel passing game. everyone wants a bit of our boys and they are welcome.

winter has made it to ras al khaimah. we celebrated by going to the park and having a bucket of kfc for tea. what's wrong with us? actually, it was a lovely evening out as a family. cool weather, plenty of space to run and lie down and look for cats and count boats and all the other things expected of park goers.

as i apply for jobs these days we look forward to our new lives beginning in just a matter of months. i find it extrememly hard to not know what is coming up. i think i know what i want but so much is out of my control. i snicker as i type, imagining if it WAS in my control. this is the guy who couldn't organise an orgy in a paper bag speaking. i have to treat this time of waiting for an interview and of job getting as a time of excitment and trusting, not of worry. a friend of mine once explained that trusting is more that the absence of worry, too.

we're off to perth soon for a family wedding. wkd.

ben and jonah star in this weeks photo album. i made gingerbread biscuits with ben this arvo, which feature, too.
