So much time in the pool has left us with wrinkly fingers and toes, but it is soooo nice to laze about in there and not get sunburnt (it has a Vergola roof over the top).

So the past week has been so busy I haven’t had a minute to scratch myself. So hang on——OK I just scratched my leg, now onto tyring to get a few minutes to note down what we have been up to. Amy is asleep, girls with MIL for the day and Pink on the CD. All is good.

Friday so the arrival of Tania and Brian from Perth. In spite of them being delayed 4 hours, they were in fine form and it was just great to have them here. The girls got re-aquainted with Bronte (7 yrs) and that took all of 5 mintues and they were off. I hardly saw them the whole weekend. They swam, played, dressed up, danced, had fights, made up, sang etc etc. All the things that little girls do so well.

Saturday night we went out to the club and had a great dinner with 25 in total, plus kids. Lots of rellies over for the big Christening on Sunday. I love big gatherings like that. So many people to talk to and not having to worry about the kids, I don’t even know if they ate. All I saw was then mucking around on the dancefloor even though there was no music! They had a blast. Mum was looking a bit worse for wear after her Cosmetic surgury on Thursday. She had the bags under her eyes removed and now she looks like she was in a fight with Mike Tyson. It gets less brusied every day and soo she’ll be looking back to her usual self, but 30 yrs younger – people might think we are sisters!

Sunday Amy, Sam and Jacob all got Baptised. It was a lovely ceremony and so much more special because my sister and brother, and their babies could share it with us. Zoe came up too and got a specail blessing – I was quite emotional because it is not everyyear that a family can welcome 4 new children and have them Christened at the same time and all be talking to each other and loving each others company. Tania and Brian were excellent as God Parents and I am expecting great things from them as Amy’s spiritual and emotional teachers!!!

Tania and I managed to get rid of Hubbys and kids for a shopping trip on Monday morning and it was blissful wandering through the boutiques and Ooooing and ahhhing over the gorgeous trinkets and homewares. It was sad to see them go on Monday night. I wish they lived closer, but hey they are determined to move to Tassie so at least that is on the same side of Australia as us!

I’m acheiving my goal of losing 3 kilos by the time Amy gets the brace off in 3 weeks. I lost 1.2kgs this week, lisa lost a massive 2.5kgs, so I have more motivation to keep going this week. I am feeling much better in myself.

This is pretty fast run down because I have so much washing to do and cleaning up to start. It is another hot day today, so if you need my I’ll be in the pool this arvo!!
