Hey everyone, thought I'd pop in and say hello while I have some time to actually post rather than just read! I promise I do read often and am keeping up it's just soooo hard to find the time to post and like Amber, there's not really much for me to say most of the time!

In short, L is doing well. He is the chattiest kid on the block and his vocabulary is pretty impressive. We often get comments on how well he talks. He is still the little dare devil he always was and this weeks adventures include a trip to the ED with a split forehead (thankfully not too bad and they glued him back together for me, no stitches needed but I'm sure we'll have a lovely little scar ) and a panicked rescue by mum from the top wrung of a 6ft ladder at a friends place That kid will be the death of me

The rest of us are doing well. I have joined the gym and try to go 3 times a week, life with 3 kids permitting. I am really enjoying the time away and having an hour where I just don't think about anyone but me. Sounds selfish but it's something I needed. Gotta keep the balance and all that People are starting to comment that I've lost weight too...bonus!

We are doing renos at the moment. Last week was painting etc, this week we're putting new flooring in. Once that's done all the skirtings and door ways, windows frames etc are being replaced and then we're taking a break to save some more money and restore our sanity before doing some stuff in the kitchen and finally (after almost 3 years) finishing our ensuite.

Missy is on school hols and I have finally agreed to let her go to my parent's place up the coast without mummy and daddy for a few nights. My parents have been wanting her to have a little holiday there forever and I always said 'when she's older and at school'...well, didn't that come back to bite me in the bum We will go up on Friday to pick her up and spend a few days there too.

Bubba D is doing well. Finally crawling this week. Has been sick with a cold but is on the mend. Generally sleeping well but not sleeping through yet. We'll get there eventually (I hope!).

Well that's about it from us.

Kellie/Julia...looking forward to hearing of the arrivals of your latest additions. Not long to go now!!
