Hi ladies and welcome Ali

re dates Ali, most of us have the tickers, Shell ie Holly and Jen (my other half) with Jordan were the first in April on the 3rd... Becky/Declan snuck into March (31st) and Mitch/Alexa came very early on March 1


Thanks for all the well wishes for Sunday girls... I finally wrote my vows last night and sent them off to the celebrant. Did another "1st letter of each line makes a message"

It's hectic city in our house at the moment with all the last minute Who Is Staying Where for those staying a few days in Sydney - plus who hasn't RSVP'd yet - some of em we can't get an answer either way, and since it's a sit down lunch, they wont be fed if they do turn up ! Grrr... especially one of em who is a Chef and understands about organising functions etc.

Anyway, my vows read:

I, Andrew, Jordy Pordy’s daddy, take you Jenny, Jordy Pordy’s mummy as my
Lawfully wedded wife.
On this day I do this in front of our family, our families and our friends.
Very real is what we do today for
Ever more do I promise to have and to hold
You from this day forward, in sickness and in health
Or if I be hypoman or narkyboy, for better and for worse
Until death do us part.
Jenny, my love for you never seems to want to end
Each and every day it continues to grow
Never seeming to falter
Never seeming to waiver, for today I marry
You



Other news - Jordy started day care yesterday. Jen had to work doing some interviews, so I took him there around 10am. He was up earlier then back to bed, waking about 9am. Then by the time I got him dressed, had brekkie (always a long drawn out process), it took that long.

I walked around the room with him and played with him there for about 15mins, gave him a bottle, and watched him play for a bit with one of the other kids then with one of the girls there... finally leaving around 10.30 - he was happy and occupied.

Called back at 11.45 - he'd just had lunch and gone to bed, a short cry at one point for about 5 mins... Jen wanted those details !


She went and picked him up after she'd finished her work, at around 2.45 - he had had another 10min cry after his nap, but like all the kids, one starts and eggs on the others


He's back in care again today. Jen took him - most of em were being quite vocal this morning and this started him off too. Though apparently he settled down in about 5 mins and was happily playing according to what Jen last told me - she's still out getting her nails and eyebrows done


No idea if I'll have much time to get on before the weekend. We have such a busy few days ahead - only 96hrs to go before it all starts (allowing for time change with Daylight Savings ending on Sat night/Sun morning)
