Back to it!

I hope you had a wonderful week!  I had a great time away snowboarding in Austria!  Unfortunately not many photos as I definitely didn't want to risk taking my big camera snowboarding with me.    We stayed with a couple of friends at a fantastic apartment just between Zell am See and Kaprun.  I had forgotten just how much I love snowboarding!  We spent most of the week up at Kitzsteinhorn Glacier - so amazingly beautiful!

I had a nice surprise during the week I was away - the Ikea expedit shelves I painted for Yashar's room were featured on ohdeedoh.com   Thank you ohdeedoh! And a very warm welcome to all the new visitors and sorry I haven't been able to get back to your questions - ok - tick - I just went and did that now. 

And now I'm back to catching up on everything around here...including spending some time with Yashar...did I mention that we had left him at grandma's for the week while we went to Austria...eek!  Of course we were a little stressed about doing that and of course he was totally fine!  And yes, I did wake up during the night while I was there thinking 'what have I done!  How could I leave him for the week?!'  Our strategy, after I talked to some other mums was to leave a small present for grandma to pull out from us each morning (stickers, pencils etc) and we made sure to emphasise that we would be back soon.  It seemed to work well  :)
