I'm back!

I can't believe how quiet it's been since I've been away. Where is everyone????

Julie - sounds like a perfect mothers day staying in your pj's all day, love it! Party sounds like lots of fun, hope your fridge has more room now. Will sounds like he is getting the hang of TT pretty well, I think second kids get a good idea of what they are supposed to do. We've had Marley on the toilet and she thinks its hilarious. No action yet though. But everytime one of us goes, she follows us and says "wee wees". Gotta love ebay! I used to do that when getting rid of Chelsea's things and it was no use keeping alot of stuff as it would take far too long for her to fit into it. Have fun shopping. The nanny was awesome, wish I could have one.

Rory - Congratulations on the new job, how exciting and well done to you. Sounds like a perfect fit for you and the family. When do you start? How is Ollie going, haven't seen any new pics for a while?

Maya - coming back was a shock! Got home last night and just about froze getting off the plane. Marley has been in tshirts for 11 days so I think she got a shock too! I do love the sunny weather of Brisbane. I had such a good run, only rained 2 days and not for that long. Most days were 25 and it was beautiful. Back to reality though. Bet you can't wait for exams to be over. It's so great when you really enjoy your kids, I had the best time spending quality, fun time with Marley. Oscar is such a character, I know where he get it from lol!! Your mothers day sounds fun, your pics on FB were great. Sounds like the Spanish is going well, it's amazing how they can pick up another language so quickly. He'll be watching and understanding Dora the Explorer soon lol!!!

My trip was fantastic. Had a brilliant Mothers Day (apart from missing Chelsea), we spent it with my GF family and her DH's family in a beautiful kids park with chicken, champagne and prawns! The kids had a ball playing in the various playgrounds. Daredevil Marley was the only one game enough to go on the big slide. The nanny was fantastic, Marley thought she was wonderful and gave my GF and I a chance to go out and she showed me some wonderful places. We even did high tea, which I have been wanting to do for ages (it was so delicious!!!!). Went out for dinner twice and the other nights we cooked up a storm (both of us love cooking), and drank far too much wine lol!! It was so nice to be greeted at the airport by my beautiful girl who was shreaking when I came out the door, she ran up and just about bowled me over. Marley was going crazy when she saw DH and ran to him giggling her head off. She is now getting him to do everything, bath her and take her to bed. He did an amazing job of looking after Chelsea and the house, it was so clean when I got home and he said he enjoyed it so much that I should make the Brisbane trip and yearly thing! Gotta love him, he's amazing.

Back to work tomorrow and not looking forward to rising early in this chilly weather.

It's great to be back
