Jacqueline! How are you? I wasn't sure how to find you. I was wondering how you were doing with TTC again and how Lucy was doing. Last I spoke with you two, she was pg with #2 and I am sure she has had that baby by now, it's been awhile since we spoke. Your family is beautiful. What a perfect little family. Two girls and two boys. What I always wanted until I started my TTC battle and really HATED being pg once I finally achieved it. But we're close with 2 girls and a boy and I only had to suffer through 2 pg's for it - LOL.

Jilda, great to hear frm you too. Aileen is adorable. I can't believe how fast these kids are growing!! It's so hard to believe we were all in such a bad place just a few short years ago. So many wonderful things have happened to us all since those dark days!!

AJ - your little boy is too cute. I can't remember if I said that before but I always smile when I see him. He looks like such a happy little boy. Mine is the same way. Maybe it's a boy thing. The girls can be whiny at times (can't we all - LOL) but Julian is so pleasant all of the time. They are all so funny in their own ways though. Never a dull moment around here anymore, that's for sure. I read these magazines and just laugh at these celebrities. Britney Spears has been out on the town since she separated with her DH and I am thinking...geez -where does she get the energy, she just had another baby. Not only do I NOT have the desire to be out in that scene now that we have kids, but even if I did - I wouldn't have the energy. Then again, I am sure they all have nannies. But I wouldn't trade my time with the kids for any of it! Still, it's fun to read...I need something other than the Wiggles and Barney once in awhile. Speaking of the Wiggles, since you are an Aussie..I am sure you are fan of the Wiggles, right?? I just heard about Greg Page quitting the Wiggles. I was really bummed. I just love his voice and compared to most of the shows the kids watch I actually enjoy watching and singing along with the wiggles. We missed their U.S. tour this year and I figured we could just go next year...so much for waiting. I hear they have an understudy to take his place, but I will miss Greg. I was just glad to hear that his condition is nothing life threatening.

Where did I come from?" the baby asked its mother. She answered, half-crying, half-laughing, and clasping the baby to her breast: "You were hidden in my heart as its desire, my darling. You were in the dolls of all my childhood games. In all my hopes and my loves, in my life, in the life of my mother, and in her mother before her, you have lived."
--Rabindranath Tagore

Hey Lisa

Yep my boy is a happy chappy, a real clown too! Although he too has his tantrum-moments that's for sure! Gosh at almost 3 he can be quite a handful sometimes, luckily for him his cuteness makes up for it

It is so sad that Greg Wiggle is too sick to continue. I always think of him as the "main" Wiggle so to speak. After all he is the lead singer. It won't be the same without him....but I'm sure the kids with love the new-format Wiggles regardless. Captain Feathersword is Mason's favorite anyway! We've been following reports for some months now on Greg's ailing health, and are relieved it isn't life-threatening, and can be managed. Of course his life has completely changed, but good on him for doing the right thing by his health and family. And good on the Wiggles for taking it in their stride. Do you know, even though The Wiggles are an Aussie group, we have never seen them in concert! Got all the DVDs of course! Mason's favorite (and mine) is the one filmed at Australia Zoo.

Enjoy the festive season with your 3 cuties.

AJ - You know you are mom when your primary topic in conversation is the Wiggles. I can't believe you've never been to a concert. I think I would go even without the kids - LOL. I haven't admitted this to anyone, but sometimes when I am in the car alone and there is no good music on the radio, I put in the wiggles and sing along all by myself. ANd if anyone could see me and DH dancing like idiots to the Hoop dee doo and the wobbly wobbly dance, they would probably take us away in straight jackets. We have about 6 DVD's and I know we have a few more coming at Xmas frm the grandma's. I do get a good workout frm trying to keep up with the videos. The girls really love to dance along. It's hard not to, they are catchy tunes. I agree, it won't be the same without Greg, but we'll still be watching. What is the name of your favorite video?

Jacqueline - 10 months??!! I guess we were pg at the same time, Julian is 10 months also. That jsut goes to show you how time flies. Are you still TTC?
