Thanks for asking about me grub, and i love your avvie.
And to BOC, lise, Kelly, Murph, saph, barney etc etc Keep up the news, I love to hear how you're all going.

I'm around - reading a lot, but gee, getting 5 mins to post is nearly impossible. DS2 is 13.5 months and never crawls anymore. Just walking everywhere. It's awesome, but even easier for DS1 to knock him over. AArgh. They want all the same toys (wheels or rails) and they are happiest outside. So, that's ok with me, I get a bit of pottering around done while they throw sand at each other.

Actually, DS1 can be quite a handful, but also he surprises me in a good way too. Today he unloaded the entire grocery trolley into the belt for me. And then when we got home he unloaded the clean dishes from the dishwasher (the bottom rack). It's nerve wracking watching all the plates in his hands, but he's not dropped one yet, and he loves to be a big boy and help. I can't believe I've been a mum for nearly 3 years!

We are off for almost 3 weeks to NZ to visit all the family (yes, can't you hear my kiwi accent?!). It'll be good, but soooo much driving. All 4 of my DSs great grandmothers are still alive, so it's a honour really to be able to show them my little terrors...I mean darlings.
