Re: [as_ap] I'm still here!

Leigh is so right, no amount of time spent with that woman is ever enough for me....I insist she moves up here this instant!
 
It was indeed a pure joy to take Leigh to visit with my angel Ben, what a special occasion.  Having our children there, especially the ever so wise for his age Reilly who always knows just what to say, was a delight.  Ahhhhh Leigh, we went to visit Ben after my uncle's burial this week and many of my family and friends came too, it was wonderful and I got to show of your beautiful gift to him....Nara was very fond of it the other day!!!!
 
It's so nice to see some traffic in the group, please, if you are feeling low and need a shoulder, if you are feeling bright and bubbly and want to share, just drop in and get things out 'on paper' so to speak......it's good for the soul.
 
Great to hear from you here love, give those big kids of yours a kiss for me, oooh and Andrew too.

Hi lovely ladies, and a big warm, but sad, welcome to the newcomers.

We have been extra busy lately. 

In early November we all went on holidays to the Gold Coast and had a
ball, but it was exhausting more than relaxing.

The highlight though was catching up with the 'positively glowing'
Lea, and finally visiting Ben's grave, something I have wanted to do
for so long.  Time as always was way too short, and although we also
spent some time with our two families mingling at Lea's local town
fair and then another day spending some girly time shopping, it's
just never enough. 

We already have our next get-together planned in Oct 2008, but
hopefully there will be some spur of the moment trips before then,
especially when the new baby arrives in early Feb.

Reilly has also been attending Prep orientation days at his new
primary school, and while he is excited, I am already feeling anxious
at letting him go.  Being another milestone, it is a constant
reminder that his brother is not there to share it with him.

I seriously don't know how I'm going to cope.  Kinder is only 3.5
hours 3 times a week, how will I go with him gone from 9 till 3.30
every day?  I have stepped up into a few new volunteer roles, so
perhaps, if I keep myself busy (not that 2yr old twins don't keep me
busy enough!), then I won't turn into a snivelling mess.

I guess the good thing is that he is such a confident and social kid
(two words that were repeated over and over in his final Kindy report
LOL!), that he will have no separation problems.

Jed & Dael are now 2, and are starting to make a little more sense
with their words.  But they have also reached the fighting and biting
stage.  Oh, the joys!

Anyhoo, enough ramblings from me!

Looking forward to getting to know all the new members and hearing
your stories.  You are amongst friends.

Wishing you all a peaceful Christmas.

Leigh
