Lewis - Seems very happy in his work at the moment. He has been chasing motorbikes on foot and generally crime fighting. With budget cuts across the country there is a very real worry that he might loose his job but we can't really worry about that because there's nothing much we can do about it, just deal with it if it comes. He has been on a sign language course just recently which he has thoroughly enjoyed and is now teaching to the rest of the family. He's still teaching Adult Sunday School at Church, I'm told on a weekly basis that his lessons are amazing, I hope all the praise doesn't go to his head! He's also been hanging out with my little brother (he's 27 so not so little!) a lot just recently and they have been taking the world over one Super Mario level at a time. Lewis's Iphone is his gadget of choice at the moment and he is super happy today because he bought a solar powered phone charger for it...simple things!
Caitlin - Is very excited to go back to school, she doesn't seem nervous about going into the juniors! She is all kitted out with a new school bag and pencil case, as well as the famous Lelli-Kelly shoes, ready for when she goes back. She'd seen the shoes advertised on TV, they have 3 "interchangable straps" so they can be plain, pretty (with a bow) or sparkly depending on the occasion! I have never had to be on a waiting list for school shoes before, but boy did I have to search high and low for these! It was worth it though to see her face when she got them, and we shared a real girly bonding moment!!! On the upside she has been discharged from the Ear Nose and Throat Department and she doesn't seem to suffer hearing trouble any more which is a definite blessing! On the down side she is under the Paediatrics department now for another health problem poor little thing! She wears glasses now to, her and Esaias look really cute together. She really enjoyed our holiday, but of all the things we did she says her favourite thing was fetching the water from the taps on the camp site!
Esaias - is enjoying the summer holidays, and although he doesn't seem too worried about moving up to year one I'm concerned that we are going to have problems when he goes back again. We have been able to catch some one on one time together and it has been really lovely. His reading is coming on unbelievably well. He is such a loving and polite little man, but he's coming to be a real character. He really is a creature of habit and can be quite stubborn to!
Nathan - his speech his coming on so, so well. I never thought I would hear him speak sentences at one point, but going to New Holland School has brought him on so quickly. He absolutely idolises Esaias and has taken to doing everything Esaias does. When Esaias take his pyjamas off in the morning, Nathan likes to put them on in the evening if he's quick enough. He's a real dancer and especially loves doing his "wiggly bum dance"!!!! He is starting to "write" and I'm really amazed by how well he controls a pen or a pencil. I can't believe how grown up he is getting. I never thought I'd see the day when I had no more nappies to change, no more pushchair/ high chair/ potty in the house It is so nice! I've never really been a baby person, so I'm really enjoying this stage and I feel like I deserve a bit of an easier life, having three children with only 3 and a half years between the oldest and youngest is HARD work! But I've done my time of nappies and sleepless nights and am delighted to have three happy thriving children...so far so good!
Me - well I'm busy as usual! Aside from entertaining the children, keeping Lewis happy and running our home, I've been doing my Avon and have so far signed up three representatives. I need two more to qualify as a sales leader so please keep your fingers crossed because until I have the magic 5 I don't earn any commission on my reps' sales. I'm determined to keep going though! I am hopefully going to enrol on a dressmaking course at Grimsby Institute, so I'm looking forward to that! I would really like to make clothes for the children, I guess more Caitlin than the boys but I've never really had the skill for these sorts of things so fingers crossed I will get the hang of it! A recent trip to the GP proved quite successful and I am now getting some help with my PMDD. It has been better this year, but I still suffer with the panic attacks and that's no fun!
Anyhow I'm off now to watch the CSI Miami/ Vegas/NY trilogy - eeek! It does not get any better than sitting with my lovely husband watching CSI Miami, children tucked into bed.

Glad you are finally getting help with the PMDD. Is my suggestion working at all? Also, I had no idea you were having panic attacks. Had some when we were moving over here, and they are terrifying! We seriously need to have a catch up. Call me, -K-?
