We have a new thread! Woohoo!

Nai - thanks for your encouraging words! I'm not sure I will get time every day - especially when kindy has 8 weeks holiday in July and August but am hoping for at least 3 days a week, one for each subject a week... we'll see. What did you do your masters in?

Just a quick post...

CONGRATS SNOWY! What great news!

Me - I have had a sad day...my grandfather passed away this morning on his 88th birthday.

I hope everyone is well...i will be back soon

Take care

Narelle, sorry to hear about your grandfather. I hope you and your family can support each other through this time.

Snowy, I did my Masters in Business with a HR specialisation.

Narelle - I'm so sorry about your grandfather!

Snowy - Congrats on your Pink news, thank you for letting us know! and very best of luck with your studies. Wonder Woman!

Nai - thank you for letting me know you received my email. I really very much appreciate any help you are able to give us
I hope you're feeling better now.
You also sound like a wonder woman! I dont think i would trust my mind to be able to juggle children/babies/pregnancy etc... with study.

Today we celebrated Ben's birthday at playgroup (yes, almost 2 months later!). We went away for Ben's birthday, then i was sick, then we had holidays... Dh had the day off so he came along. It was a really nice morning. We make cookies for all the kids and decorated them with smarties. I thought i made too many and we would have some left over, but they were a huge hit and the kids kept sneaking more (parents too i think!).

So sorry to hear about your grandfather Narelle - its never easy to deal with a loss and especially on a day you would normally be celebrating.

Snowy - pink! YAY. See you Friday!

I'm starting to show which is fun!! I'm 16 weeks now, gosh it goes quickly.

I'll update more tommorrow. I'm at the office at the moment!

I thought I had posted the other day... hmmmz..

Narelle - so sorry to hear about your grandfather - and on his birthday! Sending you a big hug.

Nai - oh so similar area. I have 3 subjects at the moment: investment theory & company valuation, strategic marketing & international marketing and last but oh so not least: time series analysis and application to empirical captital markets. It kinda assumes you have just done a statistics course and my statistics course is 10 years ago when I did my BA so lots to catch up on. The thing is that I can freely chose my subject and I stupidly picked 2 rather hard ones (the first and the last) ... doh! But they do interest me... so... out come the books with formulas... I will have to see what text books I have at home. I have a few here in Oz on Investments, so I can look up stuff there but have nothing here on Statistics so when they throw all these formulas at you, I have nowhere to read up on what it all means (and I seem to have forgotten all of it) .. anyway.. enough about uni... I did have a good study session yesterday when our old nanny came, so am feeling confident for 2 of the 3 subjects now and have already started the first two out of 5 assignments.

Katie - post some pics of Ben's party! I don't think he cares it was 2 months late.. not at that age at least. hope you had a fabulous day

Teena - see you in 50 mins - well, I am definitely showing, so...
yes it goes quickly, doesn't it. I have passed the half way mark!!

Zara is saying so much lately - it's so cute. I love this whole speech explosion that's going on. Curious to see how Allegra and Zara will get along today!

Snowy, I've made an entry on my blog (see "visit kaydee's homepage"). I was able to take a couple of videos with my camera too.
Funny thing is that in our Spielgruppe is a little girl who was born 3 hours before Ben at the same hospital. I remember hearing her mum giving birth - because when my contractions started i tried to get a midwife from the labour ward, but they were all busy. I remember them coming out of the delivery ward when i went in. They dont remember us though, but i suppose she was in happy land from just giving birth.

I hope you and Teena had fun catching up! Let us know how the 2 girls got on.

Nothing much to report here. I took Ben to a park near a huge lake yesterday. It was a beautiful day but he wasn't in the mood. Then going shopping afterwards wasnt the best choice either. I might just take him for a ride down the canal on the back of the bike today.
