as usual i've been *going* to reply for days & never got around to it

thank you for the birthday wishes

i hope grace & isaac had as much fun on their birthdays as corey did!

i was going to pop in a few days ago to say a big happy birthday to lovelycate's zac. i hope he had a great day & a lovely time in NZ. and i hope your birthday was a good one too, lovelycate!

Heva&Zacky - glad to hear that isaac loved his swimming lesson! they are expensive but if they love it, worth it i think!

ss_storm - sounds like you & hayley survived the long car trip ok. it's hard with the sep/stranger anxiety but nice at the same time to know how much they love their mum & dad!

we had such a nice day yesterday - my parents came over in the morning before they headed off to the airport to go on holiday (lucky things!!) & then DP's family came over after work for dinner. we even had his sister & her husband on a video skype call from london. we only had fish & chips & i just did cupcakes as corey's cake but i was absolutely stuffed by the end of the day! i started welling up for no particular reason at one point as well. it was an emotional kind of day but fantastic & happy. today we had morning tea with my MG which was also nice.

okay, better stop my dribbling - think the little man has woken up from his nap.

hope everyone is doing well
