Arte, I LOL'd at your "shub" reference, never heard them called that, but I too have lived with shubs in the past. It made me think of those Japanese baths that are really deep but not very long (you sit upright in them, makes soooo much more sense than the stupido lying-down ones that give you a crook in your neck and never are long enough for your legs anyway unless you're under 5 foot. Depth, we want DEPTH, bath-people!!) We had one of those at the B&B we went to after DH came home when I was really heavily pregnant, I could barely fit into it but AAAAAAH the hot water was fabulous. You will LOVE having the spa.

And awwwww at your kidlets all playing beautifully together. I hope you get some catch up sleep soon, xxx.

Ginger you're right to focus on all the good/fun stuff that's coming over the next couple of years. Such a gorgeous age as their personalities and interests really start to become more obvious. I can never get over how different my two are, and it's not just an age gap thing either.

Cally, is it the wedding this weekend? Hope it all goes off beautifully!

Cass how is life going stateside? Is it growing on you yet? If you're unhappy, you could always go and visit this place. It's just up the road from you, daytrip style (and when you go, make sure you send me a postcard, ok?) .
