The countdown to Christmas 2010




Well we have every weekend booked up in December with social Christmas parties, concerts for Laura and general family activities! It is an exciting and fun time, not only with Christmas, Caths birthday and New Years coming, but also the arrival of our new baby girl (who we hope stays put till after all the new year festivities are over with and life calms down a bit!).
Catherine is now on maternity leave and trying to slow down, which is a bit tricky this time of year!
Since Cath's heart has behaved itself throughout most of the pregnancy, King Eddies hospital has agreed to transfer her, to birth at Armadale Hospital instead. This greatly pleases Cath since King Eddies is a 45 minute drive away and Armadale is only 3 minutes around the corner. She will birth with her Midwife friends and collegues looking after her, David and the baby!

David is still working hard on his PhD and has enlisted the help of a paid Biologist to help him with all the Invertebrate counting and sorting, which will make life a lot easier for him. David has Christmas and New Years off work and will also be taking 2 weeks annual leave from the 4th January to be home with his family and new born daughter.

Laura has been accepted into Jump Carey 3year old Kindy and starts on the 10th January. She will enjoy the new activities and learning, even if it yet another transition for her - she had to leave her daycare centre she attended 3 days per week, in September and started at a new centre. So this will be three changes in 4 months for her, as well as the arrival of a new sister. Hopefully she will adapt well to all the changes.
