Radio Silence January

It seems like a long time since I last checked in here.  In truth, it has been.  Christmas and school holidays took over our world an I'm only just crawling back to some state of normal.  We had a relatively quiet Christmas and the holidays went by in a flash.  Despite wanting to go out of town for a bit, we never got anywhere.  Still, there is always Easter for that sort of thing.

I had a week off work recently to spend quality time with Leandra.  It was lovely, though dragging her away from the computer and gaming at the moment is quite a mission.  We still managed to get a day of swimming in, a picnic here and there.  Plus a super fun day of cake decorating at a local cupcake shop and rock climbing afterwards.

For me, spending time with her is always important.  Audra gets a lot more day-to-day attention because she demands it.  Leandra waits in the wings, and doesn't ask for attention as readily.  So it's moments like that when we can be Audra-free for the day, and get back to being us.  I know she loves hanging out with me, talking about her life and sharing a fun moment. Long may it continue!

Here are a few of our snaps from our holiday days together:

The results of her hard work

Working Hard to earn a cupcake dessert :D

Hrm, what's the best strategy here?
And just in case you are thinking Audra completely missed out on the fun, she got the best bit.  Leandra insisted on making two cupcakes at the shop - one for her and one for Audra.  Her little sister is never far from her thoughts. 

What did you think of the cupcake Audra? nomnomnom
