Chrissy and Katelyn Home

G’day all. Thought I would give a quick update. After 48 hours of having Katelyn, Chrissy and Katelyn are now back home. They are doing extremely well and we all feel extremely lucky. Chrissy is happy to be back home in a familiar environment.

We will now try to get into some sort of routine, and therefore we would like to ask that from the times 12 – 3pm, that we have no visitors or phone calls, as we will try and make this rest time. Though of course you are welcome to visit or call outside these times.

We would like to thank all of those who have posted well wishes and feel free to post any more if you wish. Also I would like to thank all of those who have given generously, visited and wished us well.

Of course I cannot have a blog entry without posting any pictures, so here is a picture of Laura with Katelyn.

Until next time, time it easy,

Christmas 2006

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone! Hope you’ve had a safe and happy festive season.

We’ve had a busy couple of months so really enjoyed a nice quiet break at home! Did a few jobs around the house and yard and caught up with lots of socialising which was nice.

Laura enjoyed helping with all the Christmas cheer – putting the Christmas tree up, looking at the Christmas lights and of course, getting presents from Santa! She was thoroughly spoilt! Here’s a few piccies…

We decided to have a quiet New Year’s at home this year – watched the early fireworks on TV together as a family (Laura loves the pretty colours and the music) and then headed to bed.

The last few weeks we’ve been playing the waiting game – we’re all very excited and we can’t wait to meet our new little baby… expected any day now!

Anyway, signing out until we have some more news to share…

Cheers,

Jason, Chrissy and Laura
