Your avatar piccie is just too cute! Is your DD doing well adjusting? Bel Still not in. Don't ask!? Re: "Mark & Melissa's Build Blog" 63Apr 03, 2009 4:57 pm Thanks re colours, had an interior designer do most of the hard work Excited to see how it looks DD is settling in pretty well, better than expected, this week she had some eye teeth come through though and thats been her roughest time with teeth to date, so not a good week to have new babies and a very sore baby, but she's passed it now and all in all its going well The boys are easy as pie though, both take dummies and both are pretty settled, not like DD, she was a nightmare from day 1 Life has really changed this time, its a mad house!

Re: "Mark & Melissa's Build Blog" 67Jun 04, 2009 2:18 pm The twins are awesome, they are already starting to sleep through and go down about 7pm. Great little babies and life's getting back to being a bit more livable. Just a constant bomb site due to our 19m old.... but im guessing thats par for the course Builder just called to say they have everything they need and are sending off the paperwork to the bank to ask for the deposit.
