I have been trying to capture our life on film lately. I found this rocking crocodile a few years ago at the Twin Sale. No, there are no twins up for grabs at the Twin Sale, but Hannah assures me that the Gleesons would buy her if I did put a price tag on her. The crocodile has room for three and I have seen as many as five kids riding it. It has endured all sorts of weather and is particularly fun on ice as it will slide with every rock! I didn't intend to write anything to accompany this footage, however, the video is taking a long time to upload and I can't close this window until the uploading is finished. So, a weather update: we didn't get the dump of snow that we expected, only a slight dusting - praise God. Apparently, the big city was hit badly but we are two hours away and enjoyed the high winds without the white stuff. The snow scare sent me into a frenzy of trying to find the cold weather gear that was packed in the move. Luckily, in the midst of the July heat, I actually thought ahead to the season of cold and packed the hats, mitts and boots in a relatively easy place to find. These are the moments in which I can recognise an overarching pattern of organisation to our life. Ok, I'm going to stop writing and let the computer do its job. Ok, the video didn't work so here's a picture.

Hi Elena, hopefully I can write a comment here. I see that Rebecca says a google account isn't required.

I would have loved to have recorded conversations between Matt and Michelle. I remember one specific one, but I am afraid it can't be repeated here! Boys will be boys as you are finding out.
Kids do say the darndest things!
