The excitement of the Whincops visit from China is over and life is back to normal, except that Nonna and Gramps accompanied Delenn and Sheridan home and are playing tourist.

We are patiently waiting for Aunty Jenelle to "pop" though she's not due till the start of October it's not so far away!!!

We are getting over the flu which Mark shared with his daughter, causing a number of disrupted nights sleep but we are almost back to normal ... which means 8 to 10 hours sleep at night but very few and short naps during the day, so we are off to Tweedle sleep school to see if we can assist Laine's day time sleep habits (thought hopefully not at the expence of her fabulous night time routine!)

Meanwhile we are looking forward to setting a date for a Hoare family BBQ to celebrate nephew Michael's 18th but conflicting social calenders are currently making this task harder than you would think!!!
