Deeanne, don't remind me My baby is growing up way too fast for my likings. And even mentally she is so clever too so not like she's just growing in age only.

Honestly hun, if I were in your position with all of the water around you swimming lessons would be a priority. If Matthew or Adrian could get themselves onto their backs after falling into your pool or damn that could mean all the difference. 15 minutes is a long time to float and if their missing where's the first place you would check ??
How do you put a $$ on that. Although I must say some weeks I think it's just too damn much money. Depends on the bills.

Sounds like Matthew is a real cutey. Tehya is only shy for the first 5 or 10 minutes, if that. I'm sure Sarah could vouch for her upfrontmess she has, especially if there's food involved

I so miss the teething stage, NOT. Huge hugs to both you and Adrian, this is a sucky time for all involved.

How are the other boys going ?? Wow Michael will be 14 soon and Alister 13, it goes fast hey. Have you been getting much rain out there ? or shouldn't I ask.

Belinda, I hope that Cooper gets better real soon, nothing worse than sick kids. Hoping that Mason settles for you better in his big boy bed, we still have to put Tehy in asleep, that girl is a right PITA.
