Day One

First day of blog. Above are my three beautiful children (aged 4yrs, 21mths and 4mths) hogging all the room in my bed this morning. I feed baby Aliah in bed in the mornings when she wakes up and then Tiahn and Kia usually like to come and jump in with us too and all have a snuggle up. After only a few minutes of peace Kia and Tiahn start squirming around and then jumping on the bed at which point I kick everyone out and we get the day under way. Kia attends kindy 2 days a week so on those days we have to get moving earlier so we're ready to drive the 25 kilometers into town in time for school. He catches the school bus home in the afternoons and I have to drive 6 kilometers out to the stop to pick him up as the bus won't come right up to our farm gate until next year when he'll be in pre-primary full time. We live on my husbands 6000 acre farming property in Western Australia where we produce wheat, lupins, barley as well as running a flock of merino sheep. My husbands grandfather and father both farmed this property before my husband. We have just finished our seeding program which was completed nearly two months late due to the current very dry season we are having. Some farmers in the region have not put in their wheat crops at all.
