Bath - love the new avvy, one of your designs I hope
Maya - a gymnast in the making (or movie stuntman!!). Marley is just a non stop chatterer (if that's word). Chelsea got up the other morning and sat next to Marley at the breakfast table and Marley said with hand in the stop signal "don't upset me"!!! Poor Chelsea only said good morning to her. She is such a little miss! How is gig practice going?
Tali - dirty undies are gross!!! I am so lazy I just throw them away, can't be bothered trying to extracate the poo out! I don't think I do caravan living either, love my creature comforts a bit too much. Your new place looks amazing, the views are spectacular. Glad to hear you have settled in and I'm sure you make some lovely new friends. I'm sure you'll all be due at the same time, good luck to you all. It will happen.
Ali - might try that idea as she certainly enjoys sitting there. I think its me who doesn't have the patience to sit and wait lol! Sorry to hear about Liams asthma, I know so many young babies who have been diagnosed lately. How exciting about your visit. I really hope we can get a Junies meet up sorted out. Be great to meet you and your family. Bummer about Wicked, we saw it last year and it was amazing. Congratulations on buying a house and nice that you don't have to go through the hassle of moving. Yum, your baked goodies sound delicious and making me hungry!!!! Enjoy the school holidays.
I can't believe our school holidays are almost over. It feels like its gone super quick this time. DH took Chelsea to see Hannah Montana on Tuesday and they bothed loved it. DH said Chelsea was singing away to all the songs! She is becoming so grown up now, prefering Hannah Montana over Yo Yabba Gabba etc.
Marley was at dr's on Monday with a perforated ear drum. Second one in two weeks. Same ear. Dr wants to see her again tomorrow to check the ear drum as she said its very uncommon for it to happen so soon after the first one. Then we will probably have to see an ear specialist and then a hearing test to make sure it hasn't damaged her ear drum. Chelsea has never had antibiotics in her life and been to the drs twice. Marley has had 5 ear infections and been on antibiotics each time. Weird how they can be so different. Although MIL told me that both DH and my BIL had issues with ear infections so maybe its genetic??? They may suggest grommets which worries me a little. I hope it doesn't affect her going swimming as we are putting in a pool.
On the pool, thats progressing very quickly. Concrete hopefully being sprayed today and it looks amazing, so big. And we still have plenty of backyard left which is great. The mess is hard to deal with, being the neat freak that I am. I just have to suck it up and leave it until they have finished with the messy work. The end result will be well worth it though.
Hope the Melb girls are enjoying the sunshine today, its beautiful out there. Better get back to work.
Hiya all - I have been very busy lately but lurking around BB here and there. It was my birthday on Wednesday (I am not half way to 70 LOL!!) and mum and I had dinner with me stepdad and then saw the musical "Crazy for You" at the Arts Centre. I have been busy with Law Institute Council as well and this weekend is just chockers with stuff - it will be easter before I know it
My job is great as is Mick's health - the other day he actually said he was happy for no particular reason, which is great for someone who was previously depr4essed and anxious (WTG cognitive-behavioural therapy!!)
Boys are great - Ollie was a poor little DHS baby with a black eye the other day (decided to jump off a chair) and Flynn is really into space ATM (space ships say "4-3-2-1 ink-in-ission" AKA "ignition"). and we are TTC #3 - I had a really vivid dream last night that I had a girl this time She was very cute, as I am sure #3 will be if he is a boy
Happy Belated Birthday, Rory! I'm terrible with birthdays!! I'm great with names and faces, I think my improvement in those areas has come at a price...I used to be great with birthdays...:blush: Not even FB can help me...I often just don't look down that side of my profile page...!
Tali - great that you have settled in up north! The house looks fabulous and the lifestyle even better
Boy needs my attention and I ditched him this morning to go to Booby Club and he went to KinderGym with DP...
Have a good weekend all, planning a quiet one
Happy Birthday Rory! You spring chicken! Sounds like you had a great birthday. Great news about DH, CBT is excellent (alot of the psychiatrists I work with talk about) and glad it's having such positive effects. Boys and chairs are not a good mix lol!! Any one give you funny looks? Hope your dream comes true. Check out your chinese lunar calendar to see how conceiving a girl looks. It has been accurate with so many of my friends and me!
Maya - I forget to scroll down too! Might make sure I start doing it. Don't want to miss anyones birthday. I don't think Rory's came up though, some people don't put their birthday on when they register. Enjoy your quiet weekend, mine will be much the same I think.
Pool is going full steam ahead. Its been concreted and our pool fence is up and looks fabulous. I am really pleased with it. We have an issue with the size of the pool steps. I am not happy with them and are in the process of trying to get them fixed and made bigger. Thankfully I have a few contacts in the building industry who can tell me the truth about it. I have caught them out telling me that it can't ben done when it can. Watch out now! Someone is coming to look at it on Monday so fingers crossed I get my way
Girls are great. Marley is doing wee in the toilet all the time. Hasn't had any accidents for over a week. Poo is another issue. Constantly doing it in her pants and its gross!!! I am just chucking out so many pairs of undies as I hate washing them out. I have been trying Ali's trick and getting her just to sit there for a while. She is more than happy to do that. And when she has done it, she will happily sit in it and not tell me until I smell it! Frustrating She is having her creche photos today and she was practising her smile, it was hilarious. Hope she gives the photographer those smiles - they are beautiful.
I have a student workshop on today so better go check on them. They finish early today so that means I do too - YEAH.
Happy Birthday Rory! so glad to hear DH is feeling a little happier about life, and GL with TTC #3 hope it doesnt take you too long... I believe that dreams do sometime have a way of telling us things, I remember I had a very vived dream just after I had given birth to Kai, I was looking up into a tree and sitting on one side of the tree were Zayden Mayleaka and Kailaia ( in the dream Kailaia was about 4ish )looking very cheeky and giggling and pointing to the branch on the other side where there was a little baby just sitting and waiting... At the time I was quite freaked out as I was done I didnt want anymore kids I had my three and that all I thought I would have, but as you all know now we have been TTc our 4th, so I believe now that I dreamted of my little one just sitting and waiting to join the others on the other side of the tree...
Mel I had a look at your pool its looking so great, I am sure you will be almost living in there come summer time...
AFM, the winkies started school on wednesday, and seem to be fitting in nicely, its a very smally school of only 160 students, which is almost what they had in prep at the last school, the small school seems to suit them well Zayden anyway I think May been the socal butterfly that she is would fit in anywhere...
The mothers also seem very warm and welcoming, I went to a kindy group with Kai today for 3 / 4 year olds where we as the mums have to stay but are incuraged to sit in the coffee room and chat, but been Kai's first day she didnt let me out of her sight for long, but did much better than I thought... It is so surpricing how many ex- melbourne people are up here, there were two in todays group, but they both have been here for quite sometime... so with any luck I will find my feet and make a few friends, Pray that the banks ease up a little bit soon so we can buy a house...
speaking of houses Bath would your DH know if we were to buy a working cane farm ( BHL would still be working in the mines ) could we get that loan as a business loan or would it still have to be under a housing, and which are the better ones to get anyway? Just dont know if we were to get a cane farm if its better to ask as a business or just buy the farm/house and keep it as housing loan...
She was very cute, as I am sure #3 will be if he is a boy 
She is having her creche photos today and she was practising her smile, it was hilarious. Hope she gives the photographer those smiles - they are beautiful. 
HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY BATH
