Hi all, just returning to normal life after the week from Hell, I have had both kids sick with croup and it has been an endless round of Dr trips, sleepless nights, a trip to the hospital with Liam coughs, snotty noses and many rounds of tears from all 3 of us. Good news is everyone is on the mend.

I don't know if you girls noticed because she has changed her user name, but Tanya had her second baby boy on Thurs, a little boy named Archie.

Enigma- Great to see you back on Board. How is Anetka getting on at Daycare now? How are you liking the new job.

Jaspen- Back to work on Monday actualley, I am both excited and apprehensive as I am teaching a year 5/6 class when I am used to teaching junior primary, really looking forward to the challenge. Wow not long at all now untill you meet your little man.

Mel- As you have probably figured out from my other post, I have a Gemini Monster- Some days I just dont know what to do with her, and poor Liam cops the brunt of it most days, not that I condone fighting amongst sibling, but I cant wait till he is old enough t give her an almighty whack back, maybe she will learn her lesson.
As for the CC debt, we are in much the same prediciment, and we will probably do some and and some as there are some really urgent things that need doing around here.

Bath- Glad to hear that your BT are normal, that must have been a relief.

Tali- I am dreading the day that Tori takes to her hair with scissors. She already pretends to cut her toys hair after watching her dad have a hair cut recently so scissors are kept well out of the way here.

Nic- Are you in your new house yet?

Other than sickness things here are pretty good. Starting back at work next week which is exciting, I am not looking forward to the kids trying to settle into a new routine, but I am sure once they do it will be great. My super tropper Liam has started crawling and pulling himself up to standing on everything he possibly can, found him standing in his cot the other day, and he is not even 7 months yet.
Tori loves to tell us all how it is these days, I took her to the Fairies concert today which she really loved, she hasnt stopped talking about it all day. I am thinking about putting her in daycare one day a week next year a I think she will really benifit for the social experience, and having a bit of down time from her brother. We have a centre just across the road which I want to check out, and hopefully can get her into.

Quick Qu. How did you know what the right number of kids was for you? We love having our 2 kids, one of each is just perfect and it is alot of work too (as kids are), and even though DH is adament that 2 is enough, but part of me feels like I am not done yet- however I am wondering if that feeling would still be there if I had 1 kids. So how do you know when you are done?
