Hello all!

Hope all the Aussies had a lovely Australia Day!

BS - Yaaaay for a girl!!! I have a younger sis and we are as close as anything, I don't know what I'd do without her, and it was the best growing up with her - and that was with 4 years between us...it would have been even better if we were closer in age! Good look with the name choosing!

Alison - Hee, I like Ava too. It goes with the middle name we're having (Maria - after MIL) Ava Maria. We also like Ella for a girl. No IDEA for a boy tho. Good luck losing the kilos. I've put on 3kg since I"ve been on AD's Such a pain, but I'm getting off them ASAP so hopefully the weight gain will stop. Hope you had a nice time in Donnybrook, I think you were away the same time we were. Did you have rubbish weather? We did

Tilda - thats so cute Matilda pats her head for her hat, bless! I was thinking that the other day, they're not babies anymore They can walk and get around and do their own thing. Waaah!

Kanda - Good luck with the house-hunting, it is hard isn't it, finding somethign thats right. HOpefully it'll come along soon. I heard a bit about Lulu...didn't her sister die too or something? I can't remember if I have had much contact with her on bb.

Hello everyone else!

AFM - Back from our trip to Dunsborough. It was nice to get away, tho we had rotten weather. It was rainy and cold, which I hadn't anticipated...we'd all packed beach and summer stuff...so off we went to stock up on winter woollies at Target! We didn't get to go to the beach, only briefly on our last day there, just to say we'd been! Michael hated it. Tho, I actually think it was more because we were holding him back, he just wanted to be let loose to play in the water. It was so nice to spend so much time with my family tho.
