That isn’t what I think it is…is it?
Filed in Daily life, General, family, holidays, September 21, 2007, 9:38 pmWe booked into reception and investigated our space. The kids claimed that the heat and travelling had overcome them and that a swim in one of the three pools would help to rejuvinate their weary bodies.

The ground is loud at 3am
Filed in family, holidays, September 20, 2007, 10:59 pmWe packed the bus and made our way to bed. Some settled earlier than others. David went to bed at 8:30, knowing he would be driving the first shift of the trip. I went to bed at 11:45, once everyone was asleep.

Filed in Love, babies, children, family, premature babies, September 7, 2007, 4:07 amA friend phoned me last night. She asked me if I imagined my life would be like this, when I met David, when I was 17. She asked me if I ever imagined I would have so many children. The simple answer to that is; no.
