Assembly Line

When I had the first baby it took me hours to get up and out of the house to go somewhere ( Auntie .G. can vouch for that) and I ended up having enough stuff with me that I looked like I was headed on a month long excursion.
Then when baby number two came around I was a little more efficient but still trying to master getting myself and two children ready.
But now with the third baby its all coming together......like an assemly line..... the only difference is this assemly line never sits still , runs away when you call and occasionally vomits on themselves after production has ceased and convienently this is usually done once production is almost at its deadline.
So who knows maybe with more children getting out of the house becomes easier and easier.........or......... maybe not.

Happy 2nd Birthday Autumn !!




Seems like only yesterday I was in the birthing centre in Mackay, Australia screaming my lungs out bringing Autumn into this world and with no drugs to blur my memory I remember so much detail about that wonderful day. Its funny to think that it was already two years ago our little girl breathed her first breath. She has been a blessing from day one although she was a difficult baby in the beginning she has turned out to be such a well tempered girl with such a sweet spirit.
John and I both find it hard to be stern with her because she just smiles at you if you show the slightest bit of assertivness and then looks at you with huge blue eyes as if to say, " your not mad at me are you? " and so today, I wish her a happy birthday and tell her not to grow up to fast because she is our baby girl and will always be our little girl !!!!
