haha! i would love to move back to qld. we have heaps of close family friends in noosa too lol!

HPL: eeeeekkk! back to work!!! good luck with it babe (it's a new place isnt it??). and you're right, you'll get a new routine soon enough and get into the swing of things i'm sure. 4 wake-ups?! wow, it is tough . probably just a developmental spurt. Marta has been doing similar antics as her feet are sooooooo exciting lol.

yeah i am pretty bummed about the trip. we had planned to visit our friends in kansas as well . but the home renos have to take priority...
we are planning a trip to indonesia at the end of the year...bit cheaper than europe and the US lol.
oohh i LOVE nice as well! actually, pretty much anywhere in southern france is awesome lol. travelling with kids i reckon can be heaps of fun. it is cool to see things the way they see them ITMS. for example, we went Pisa last year with DD1 and i saw parks and climbed mountains that i had never seen before simply because we wanted to show her cool playgrounds or go mushroom hunting. the plane trip was not the best part, but totally manageable...especially as the hostesses have stashes of ice-cream to bribe kids with lol.
i look forward to getting back to italy to show off our new girl the family...but unfortunately i dont see that happening until next year...
