Jen is home.



Yes we really found the two of them sleeping like this. I have no idea what was going on to have caused this pose.

What a relief to have jen back. But it is not going to be easy. She has gone through a lot, and needs my suport more than ever. I'm there for her. Once she is normal I'll collapse and then she can take care of me for a while. ;)

Picking her up from the airport was my usual drama. I miss read the flight numbers and paniced when it said her flight landed two hours early. I grabed the kids and lily and we ran out the door to the airport. We went to the wrong terminal first and that precious delay meant that when we went to the right terminal most of the passengers had already left. I figured we must have missed her so we rushed home to an empty house.

What do you think does she look excited?

I double checked the internet, realized my mistake, notice her plane was still landing early, so we had to rush out to the airport again. I at least got the right terminal number this time. It took some of the excitement out of the kids but I think it was still good that we went to get her.


This is mel and emma waiting for the first taxi to the airport.

It has been hard for jen to get over her jet lag and all the emotional stress she went through, but, like always, we will manage. We are strong like that.

Here are some more pictures as I really do think they speak more words than I could type.

And Scrapper.

AHHHH I miss jen. Ok I just had to toss that out there. I've got a few more pictures to share. haha I have just noticede that emma is naked in the background!! Unfortunatly that is a common state for her. :D

It would seem that my last two posts had been saved as drafts and not posted. I've put them both up now. (see bellow)

Work is work. I'm getting a bit frustrated at times. We seem to have a high turn over. GWL liked what I had done, but he did have some requested revisions. Nothing too out of the ordinary. We are in the last two weeks of revisions. I've learned a fair amount working on this one. It is very difficult balancing life, interviewing and training new people, doing my own shots, and approveing the teams, as well as managing the day to day business stuff.

Today Emma and I were going to go to the zoo. However it is raining much too hard to justify the $50.00 in cabs we would have to take. So we will find something else to do. We might go downtown to the far east plaza, or walk around orchard a little bit. Even the mrt ride takes up some time that emma enjoys. ;) While planning for our zoo adventure, I found a website that lists the weather for the island. I thought it was funny that it has 12 variations of rain adn cloud, and only two for sun. A bit revealing I think. Here is the link: http://app.nea.gov.sg/data/mss/docs/ncastmap.htm

I bought a new camera as both of our old ones have been broken. I bought a samsung L100. It's a little family model that has some nifty face recognition features and stabilization. Emma should be a pro with it in about two days. I might take a week. Here are some of the first photos we have taken with it. i will get some with melanie and lily soon too, and then wehn jen gets back I'll post some more of her and me. :D





My website redesign has been going well. I have a layout and colour scheme picked, and a map of what each button will do. I'm looking forward to watching jen build it.

Hey mom! If you click on the photos they should open up bigger. I can send you high res ones too if you want to print them off. Just let me know. I am so happy to have a camera again.
