Family Sunday

We scrubbed up for church yesterday (it took me a long time to find my lipstick and mascara, which just shows you how standards have slipped here on the island ) as not only was James being made a deacon, but we needed to say goodbye to the wonderful Patterson's and Kalama's who have been our backbone over the past few months.

Then we went on to our friends Jane & Peter (our secular backbones) and we had one of those wonderful 8 hour lunches with much laughter and good food and the kids turning into wrinkled prunes with red eyes as they spent the whole day in the pool. We all slept in the car on the way home, then Tyler and I slept through our DVD rental which we'd already slept through on Saturday night and then the weekend was over. But it was a good one.

We've definitely turned the corner as you can see, and Tyler has now gone back into the bakery fulltime this week, although things are very different. I'm spending Monday to Wednesday in the Bakery's Carrot Bay HQ (ie home) and Thursday to  Saturday in the Bakery, as we really are very busy over those days. Tyler is going to have Tuesdays as his business day and not be at the coal (oven) face all the time. We are very excited about all the new developments and plans, and so grateful for the growing popularity of our little bakery. It is hard work, no denying it, but so fulfilling.  We are very focused on the future and hope to continue to add more baked goodies and other delights, as we find more space!

Much time now is also being spent on Travelocity and Expedia as we look at Summer flights and the boys are starting to get excited about seeing family and SA friends again. I'm back at gym again this week and Tyler and I are on a healthy eating kick (although we blew it with mutton curry on Saturday night, delicious but hardly slimming) as we need to be able to fit into our jeans and jerseys again soon!

Life is good.
