AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I haven't been checking the thread because i haven't been getting any reminder emails!!! I can't believe I've missed some posts.

First of all, Congratulations to you Lara!!! I'm so very happy to hear that you had a "better" birth experience. I will read your story as soon as I'm done here.

SNOWY! I can't believe you are back! I was so glad to see your post. Huge congratulations to you aswell! What wonderful news that you are doing well and are expecting #3!! I'm really very happy for you.
Ben also got a kitchen set for Xmas (pots and pans and cups etc...) he loves making "coffee" for mummy and daddy. We are always having tea parties and making "cakes". lol. How is Zara going with her language skills? Ben gets confused alot, which is understandable. Lately it's between "Out", "Auf" and "Aus". He is doing well though. We have enrolled him into kindergarden for August. I didnt want to send him - but after a long conversation with Dh we thought it might be good for him to interact in German more.

Nadine - DONT get me started about the snow. We havent had any yet! I really really hope some comes before Winter ends, but i have given up. No snow last year, no snow this year. What is happening to the world

Narelle - I'm happy to hear that Cale is doing so well. 2kg in 4 weeks??? WOW!

Ok, now our update. Things are going well for us. Slowly, but good. We are still planning on moving back to Oz when Dh is finished. He has one year to go. We have alot to organize, and still have to figure out how we will be able to afford it. AND we have to organize a visa for Dh (and apply for Ben to become an Aus citizen), but hopefully it will all work out.

We had a lovely Christmas. A friend of ours from Australia stayed with us over the holiday period. New Year's was very quiet. we didnt have a babysitter for the night, so we just stayed home and watched TV (*yawn*).

Take care everyone!
