Again we did karate this whole year. This included a number of gradings followed by social events.
I treated myself to a new gi (uniform) when I graduated to my 3rd Kyu.

Lucas has joined the chess club at school, so for fun (and to give him practice) we sometimes play. I was very proud that I one day managed to checkmate him with just two pawns and my king.

We were looking after a couple of guinea pigs for a couple of weeks while one of Aiden friends was away.
The boys had to do all the work cleaning and feeding them.

B - New Zealand Ski trip (travel bubble was open) - Cancelled day before we were to leave
C - Staycation in Sydney - Locked down to local council
D - Staycation in same council - Restricted to 5 Km radius
E - Dinner at home
We did however make up for it later with some golf and spa while she wasn't working.

Lucas and Aiden got themselves a surfing lesson. Aiden was too scared to go, but Lucas had a great time.
Because he liked it so much we decided to get him (and Aiden) a surfboard for Christmas as well.

I was struggling a lot this year, through a combination of things ranging from self worth, lack of support, dealing with the boys, work and other things.
Mid-year during the lockdown it hit hard.

We have been trying to encourage Aiden and Lucas to once in a while do the cooking. This is so that they know how to cook when they become older and adults.
Lucas is really loving it and Aiden doesn't really have the patience.

2022 was also the year where I finally got my Black belt in Karate (Sho-Dan - first belt).
I had to fly up to Brisbane for the grading/exam with the head of the Australian organisation.

This year Aiden was in the last year of primary school (year 6). This means that this was the year of his confirmation and also his graduation before he next year starts in high school.
