Merry Christmas

Christmas is almost here. Only 4 sleeps until Santa arrives.

Emily has asked for a "yellow" dolls house for Christmas. Santa's elves have been painting it in the garage at night, it is looking lovely.

I just need to ensure that we get a photo of the girls sitting on Santa's knee. I have continued on the "First Christmas" pages. We have additional pages available and I have used these in both the girls books to continue the photos of them sitting on Santa' knee.

Have a lovely Christmas and Happy New Year.

My School Days - an inside look

Alyssa is the daughter of my husband's workmate. She is 12 and has just achieved the mega milestone of graduating Year 6 and finishing primary school (that's how it works here in Victoria!). She was kind enough to share it with us, so I have taken some pictures to show you.

Isn't she talented?? Alyssa was able to sort through all the stuff her parents had put away and update her book even from Prep. Its amazing how much kids can recall about the names of teachers and friends. I always assumed I would maintain the same level of recall but the opposite is true! My School Days has been really popular with shops ordering extra as they are great Christmas gifts.

Alyssa, you have made a beautiful record to look back on, espcially when your own kids are at school. I hope they get as many certificates as you! - Fiona

No 3 is on it's way.......

I am thrilled to share the news that I am expecting baby number 3. I am due in April 2008.

We had our 18 week scan last week and decided to not find out the sex. (We didn't with the girls either). I have started filling in A Book About Me and can appreciate the fact that the book is unisex so whatever we have it does not matter.

I am feeling really well, I was a little tired at the start....ok a lot tired.....but am now feeling great. I am half way tomorrow and I am hoping that the next 20 weeks will fly as much as the past 20 have.

We had a phone call the other day from a friend saying that My School Days was in the December issue of Australia Home Beautiful magazine which was a lovely surprise.

A Book About Me has also been featured in the December issue of Style Magazine. Style Magazine is a Queensland and Northern NSW magazine.
