Over a month.......ooops!

Well, here we are again, over a month this time. Sorry. I have a good excuse, I have been working. After doing some relief work at our friends real estate, they offered me a job. Which has kept me quite busy.

Over the past month I have been doing little bits and pieces in my beautiful boy James' room. This has been very hard and sometimes I have just walked in, looked around and just cried. Today we have managed to get all James' Lego and display it near our front door. We have put up some glass shelves and some white shelves to display it all. What a feat. I can't believe how much James has collected over time. It has turned out sooooo good that I wanted to share how it looks. We also got his light saber that he was given for Christmas in 2007 from his Uncles and Aunties from the Thomas side of the family and put it up with his photo we had at the funeral. It looks fantastic. Slowly things are getting sorted and tidied and we are finding a place for things, so that we can remember our boy. Once we have finished sorting out James' room we are going to paint it and Brent is going to move in.

We have had Brent's 16th Birthday, Brent managed to get his learners permit on his birthday which he was very proud off. It has been strange that where ever he wants to go, he has to drive. He is getting pretty good, but has a bit of a heavy excellerator foot. He is getting the hang that he has to slow down a bit or he won't get his licence because he is going too fast. lol. We all went out for tea for his birthday to Chatters. It was lovely, Grandma, Grandfather, Lidija, Liam, Shane and myself all went. We all had a great dinner and then came home for cheese cake, yum! Brent got lots of things for his car so he was very happy.

The boys have also been on holidays over the past two weeks. Brent worked the first week and then was lucky enough to go on a Canteen camp (a camp for kids with cancer, siblings, offspring and beveared kids as well). Brent has been to these type of camps before and so he had an absolute ball. The only problem was there was one kid that snored in his dorm so Brent didn't get much sleep. lol. He has been making up for it today when he got out of bed at 11am.

Liam has been a bit lost over the last two weeks, with me working and Shane working and Brent being away, Liam has been palmed off and handed around to different people to keep him amused and entertained. He has been very good with this and has managed to get through the holidays unscathed, I hope.

Shane is doing pretty good, although the weather has not been on his side, so he has been doing some jobs that are inside which has been helpful. He keeps getting new jobs to keep him busy which is also good. People are telling their friends and they are calling and asking for quotes and then getting Shane to do the work, which is all good for him and us.

The only bit a sad news to tell is that Brent's girlfriend is no longer on the scene. She felt that she needed a change and then she ended it with Brent. They have stayed friends, so that is something. Brent has (I think) gotten over the hurt and the not understanding, but that is what being a teenager is all about, learning, growing, getting hurt, then picking yourself up of the ground and continuing on with life. Sometimes it is a little harder to pick yourself up.

Well see you later, hope all is well, keep smiling and remembering our beautiful boy.
