W.W.

well i went back to weight watchers after falling seriously off the wagon. not as bad as I thought but not good either.
One of my main goals for this year is to improve my health and losing weight is a biggy, as my blood pressure is high and i have been on meds for a year now.
Also Gary and I walked along the beach this evening, very nice.

Ella

We took Ella to Perth on Monday, as we were going to pick up the trailer Gary was buying, however that fell through.
Ella got to meet her new little cousin Jasmine. She was having fun playing with Stacey and didn't come with us to Ikea. Finally I got my shelving for my craft room.
Later on the way home we called in to see Ella's other grandparents in Mandurah.
Then it was McDonalds on the way home so Ella was a happy little girl. She does insist that it is called mick donalds.
On the subject of Ella her fav joke she tells everyone is.......
Why does the cow cross the road?
because she wants to go to the moooovies

Saturday

today I went with Georgina to choose a new bed, finally she got one after trying out quite a few now I want one.
Got some photos of our new little one printed, will take some for her parents when we got up there on Monday.
We invited the Huttons and the Howards for a bbq. I was telling Annie about taking Lila out to Aristos for fish and chips on new years eve. The next day we took her with us to perth to see the baby for the first time. On the way home we had Hungry Jacks for dinner and called in to see Di and Reg in Mandurah. Ella was listening to this and she wants to do everything we did with Lila so we are taking her with us to Perth on monday when we pick up the trailer.
Belinda and Jasmine came home today.

she has a name

Gary, Lila and I went to visit Ben and Belinda and the new baby girl at St John of God hospital Murdoch.
They still hadn't decided on a name for her when we left. By the time we got to the Opies house in Mandurah they had chosen to name her Jasmine Amelia. I am happy with their choice.
