Hi all,
Bec, bummer about the ADSL. Jonah is a clever young man, Dion just points and ughn, and mum mum, barely anything else ( he used to say dad dad, but only grunt speak now, going backwards LOL) growing out of his cot already, wow thats fabulous!!!!

Bel, I have all my kids ( and others kids) shopping done, but not much for adults yet ( starting to get a bit panicy) Grr at the messy MIL, DH's Aunty is like that, if she b'sits the place is left grotty, and she wont set rules, so the kids go to bed too late etc - very frustrating.

Rachel, hugs and a sprinkling of babydust for you.

Hay, wow halters arent cheap hey?? I hope you enjoy the show for all this hard work. when is it?? good luck with this cycle ( I'd cross everything for you, but DH would be upset LOL)

Brooke, i hope it was just viral, and that Maya is better now, and you didnt need to do the anti's.

Deb, good that you got it sorted with DH, and it sounds as if both you and Al have come to grips with the whole child care issue ( great that Al is enjoying the older kids.)

Kate, hugs to Rylee, hope the infection goes away nice and quickly for her.

Update from the mad house -------
Dions paed wants him to continue the ventolin for another month to get over the worst of spring, then have a month break. I have to monitor his growth in this time, and then we have to reassess again. he is a right little monkey, and is a lot happier now ( I say it could be the ventolin, as we now have him giggling - something he's never really done) he gets into all sorts of mischief, and loves the sand pit, and any wheeled toy. he loves to play on the skateboard ( he lies on his tummy, with one leg off, and uses that leg to push himself, so cute) and knows all the switches to any electrical appliance in the house, and regularly turns the radios on and off ( and the tv's which the big girls find infuriating LOL)
Rianna is toilet trained and her attitude seems a little softer, she is starting to play with Dion more, and fight with him less ( Phew)
The big girls have a big month ahead, they have a school concert and a ballet concert at the end of the month ( so lots of rehearsals and costumes, photo sessions etc ) then its their b'day's on 2nd dec, so we are planning the party - Rachel where does Viv skate, as they want to go Ice skating
Other than that we have our usual, swimming, playgroup, jazz youth group, only Mondays are "free" Dh has been working opposite to me, so have barely seen each other, ( he is starting his 4 days on tomorrow, and I am off as of tomorrow morning - just as well we are not trying to concieve LOL !!!! I am well, and still trying to eat right and exercise, am getting fitter thats for sure, I made the kids come with me last few weekends on my walks, as Dh was at work. So the big girls are walking 8- 9 km with me, ( the littlies get a free ride, and I get an extra 25 kg to push LOL)
ummm I'll shut up now,
