Hi,

How fast has this has gone, Can not believe Ashleigh will be one on Friday, It feels like yesterday was the day she was born but it is 12 months ago.

Regarding to Christmas, I have only a few to get now because I have been laybying since July this year because I do not want to be in the crowds come Christmas time. We are planning to stay home this Christmas so the kids can enjoy there presents and having not to worry about driving to Sydney in the heat and traffic. Also we can have a few drinks without worrying about driving home again. We probably plan to go visiting before or just after Christmas. What are your plans?

Regarding high school, there seems to be a lot in the forum who have kids going to high school next year. Christopher has yet to attend his orientation day for high school. This happens on the 10th November.

On the 12th November we are having Ashleigh christened. Some of my relatives are coming up from Sydney to stay the weekend and I could have a extra four adults and four kids staying that weekend, thats on top of the seven of us and it is going to be not to squeasy in the house. Thank goodness we have a sofa bed, a blow up queen bed and a couple of extra beds or they would all be camping out the back.

Michele
Mother of Christopher, Luke, Melissa, Jayden and Ashleigh(1 on Friday)
