DD just finished her first real swim class. (She had an infant one several
years ago.)  She passed with flying colors.  The really proud part is she went
off the Water slide three times, twice alone, and off the dive board three
times, twice without anyone on the board.  I was ...

<g> some of you asked for the stats of baby niece. Well I had about 3
mins to talk to my sister today. Baby weighed in at 8lb 2 - lovely weight.
sister described labour as horrible, they were talking about a c-section
so baby came prety much instantly then rofl!!

After a long tiring day at work I came home to a sleepy/tired hubby and a
happy boy. Soon, I notice husband has fallen asleep on the recliner.  DS
expressed hunger.  Husband is the cook hereabouts but I didn't want to waken
him.  So, I suggested DS and I cook diner, and off we went. ...

Good luck with the garage sale tomorrow!

that day:
Tomorrow is 35 years since Armstrong walked on the moon. Unlike many of my
peers that always reminisce about what they were doing when Kennedy died, I
am too young for that.

My dad is coming down today, he managed to get the day off.  He and Dh will
be laying the patio so fingers crossed the rain stays off for the day and
until it sets.

Well, I was about to change his diaper and he started fighting me (not
unusual) but this time he pulled on his jeans (this is very unusual - since
he doesn't dress himself) he even zipped himself and tryed with all his
might to do the snap (he was pushing it into his belly, poor ...

Wow - I have a niece - born 10 minutes ago. Mother and daughter very well
A very teary Sarah

After nearly a week away from home, I'm back, and boy oh boy did I miss you
all!
How are things?

I just got the paperwork from DSs new school, starts soon! He is supposed to
be potty trained before it starts but he has ZERO interest. He'll sit on the
potty if i put a towel on it and over his lap but won't go. He holds it till
I give in and give him a diaper. It seems cruel to ...

Hope you all dont mind me keeping you updated.
No baby yet. but my sister found some meconium discharge. It was a small
amount so they are happy to wait until morning to start induction.
However they are keeping her in over night, with induction at 6am now.

Katherine and I had our first 'Grand Expedition' on our bike today.
(Katherine on the tag-a-long) It was all on canal towpath - to the canal
visitors centre. dh thought it would be about 6 miles each way which
seemed reasonable for a kids first bike trip.
