so much has happened....

Well it's been ages since I have posted in here.... so much for all the good intentions. School is always busy and being a sucker for punishment I am doing another uni paper this semester too.
As I write this Fern is in the early stages of labour with her wee baby... well not so wee really as they estimate baby's weight at about 8lbs+ from last weeks scan. Poor wee Fern is more like it, she is such a tiny little thing herself but she is looking forward to having baby and being able to stand up straight again....lol.
Jacob's baby should have been due next month but when we went for the 5 month scan around the time school started, baby had passed away. His girlfriend Amy gave birth 2 days later and I was able to open my daughter, Moana, grave and we buried my wee mokopuna (grandchild) on top of her. Later in the same week my daughter Amy had a miscarriage. It's been a difficult time ans I have to say that I am so glad I am a teacher and had to keep on going to school. There is always a challenge there to keep you going and looking ahead and the kids are great.
We had school photos this week and a staff photo too, maybe when we get the proofs back I will scan and load it up on here. That has to be good for a chuckle.......ha ha ha. Well going to get some sleep as I am expecting to be woken early hours in the morning to welcome a new mokopuna into the world. Love to all.
