Hi Cuties,

Today is our elder daughter Dana and Jason's 10th wedding anniversary. Amy, myself and Jason's parents have and will be looking after the 3 children whilst they are away down in Melbourne.

Amy stayed at their place last night and tonight. To help Amy out we had Ophélie and Delphi stay here last night, as Steve had to be up at Mont Valley (our oldest friends winery in the Hunter Valley) at 6.30am! Otherwise I would have had to be at Amy and Steve's place at the crack of dawn - so we said to leave the girls here. Tonight I have Delphi only. I dropped the girls off at daycare this morning. Delphi had an early sleep and has been awake since 1.30pm. So tonight when I got home from Dana's place - (where we all had dinner - which was like a mad house!!!!) I read her a story whilst she laid in my arms drinking her bottle. I put her inside her sleep bag cuddled her, laid her down in her cot and came back out here to look for her other teddy and went back in the room and she was fast asleep! Can't wait to tell Amy in the morning. Only thing is she is bound to wake up through the night sometime! She did last night about 4.00am and then again at 5.00 when I decided to give her a bottle. She woke later at 6.30, only because Trevor and Ophélie came upstairs and found me in Ophélie's bed (she had woken in the night and came downstairs to our bedroom and because she fiddles and kicks etc. I went upstairs to her bed) and decided to wake me by prodding my face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Talk about musical chairs.

It's been a long day!!!! Of course Trevor has worked the past two nights and doesn't get home till 9.00pm, by which time everything is done and dusted.

Isn't it great fun being a Nanna and Poppy I say as I slowly sink in to my recliner chair!!!!! Love Chris

Happy Anniversary to them. Great pictures. Get some rest. It is hard tending to the grands when we are not use to their schedule. Hugs Lynn

Happy anniversary to Dana and Jason. And now that you have exceeded your fair share of grandparent time, it's time to rest and recoup.

I'm doing just that Karen. I've been down and had a coffee, done all the crosswords, did the grocery shopping and have come home, unpacked it all and am now in my sewing room. I've finished 6 bags now and have done the front and back of Mum's - only have to do the lining and handles. Then I'll do mine. I was going to have the Aqua bag, but it turns out Mum's friend who comes along to the ladies luncheon loves Aqua! I'll make myself a black and white one too, but a bit different to Mum's. Love Chris

Thanks Chris, doesn't it look great? Dana dyes her hair black, so it's quite striking. She had a spray tan earlier in the week which makes her look particularly bronzed!!!! They are off to the Autumn Racing Carnival tomorrow at Flemington Race Track where our famous Melbourne Cup is held. She has a gorgeous black and white dress that looks drop dead gorgeous on her! Can't wait to see the pictures of that. And thank you, I think they are beautiful too. Love Chris

I knew you hit the S by mistake Lillian, you don't have to apologise. I can't wait to see her in her gorgeous dress for the Flemington Autumn Racing Carnival tomorrow. Love Chris
