Well I have done my usual trick and not kept up with any journal entry for months. It is usually years so I guess I haven't done too bad this time. Btw- in the pics, Seraya is 15 weeks old (just taken) and India is 2 years old. She does not suck on a dummy, just happened to pick Seraya's up and put in for the photo! She is trying to wake a very tired Daddy up.

Seraya is now around 3 months old. She is teething right now which is to say the least painful for her. Thank the heavens for panadol for babies. She is such a delight. She giggles and smiles all the time. She sings with me and it is just the most gorgeous thing I have ever seen. She especially lights up when she sees India, her older sister. They are pure magic.

Over the last couple of months, nothing exciting enough to publish in my ever boring blog has really happened. The little girls are growing nicely. India is talking so much now. She sings and never stops talking really. She has since had a couple of nasty allergic reactions and asthma attacks. We only picked her up from hospital a couple of days ago actually. All of us got sick with a cold and of course, it hit her as asthma. Yet another trip to the emergency centre of the Wesley hospital. She has become quite the favourite there. All the nurses remember how much she chats and mimics everyone like a little parrot. She can barely get a breath out but it doesn't stop her from talking. I think she would rather suffocate then be quiet. :p

Right now we are in the process of getting our Paddington investment property all prettied up to try and get it on the market and sold ASAP. We are giving it a mini make over in the hope of getting more money for it. I will post before and after pics when we are finished. We are repainting it, with the addition of a feature wall (my idea of course.), changing the cupboard door handles to more modern ones, kitchen light fitting- more modern, possibly a new oven, stove and dishwasher, buff the floor boards, fix the garden, and then we are going to put some furniture and flower arrangement in. Hopefully that will make all the difference. It would be nice if we can spend a small amount maybe no more then $5-10k Fixing it up and getting at least double that back. Fingers crossed.

As for me, I will be busy Mama Reenie come two weeks. I have orientation at Uni starting on the 18th of July, and then Uni starts on the 21st. I am excited but also a little stressed as to how I will handle the work load, with the two little girls in tow. Not to mention, having very little time with Stu. If it gets too much, I will drop down to part time. I only have to suffer a semester out at Ipswich and can then move to St Lucia, which will be much easier to get too. We have decided to wait a couple more months, no more though, to move house. We just want to get Paddington sold, and wait for me to get into a groove with Uni before we have to worry about packing up and moving. That will just be too much stress!

Well that is the update for me. Nothing too exciting happening yet. I will post again after Paddington is complete with a pretty new face and I have started Uni. Enjoy the updated pics of the girls. :D
