Here we are again...you know the words. Welcome and enjoy each others company. [cake]

Away to watch more tennis 
I think you are right there DaphneBroon soop treats us all the same whether we are real friends or virtual friends. She just lets us natter on and nods her head at random intervals
Grace here. I am a much happier doggie today 
if I could. I tolerate these small humans, especially the boys who don't really bother me pay me much attention, but the wee girl wanted to do Lego on MY rug when I was lying there too and so I just did a little Woof! And Mum sent me to my bed 
Worst was when Mum took them out for a walkie and didn't take me too I really took the huff at that.
And I wasn't allowed out on the patio when they were having lunch because Mum says I can't get up off the hard stones again if I lie down and I bet there was no end of food dropped off that high chair. I did enjoy the rejected roast chicken skin and leftovers from the small humans afterwards however. 
Peace reigns at last ?
Happy Birthday soop. At least the wind has die down so your candles will stay alight. Are you being taken out for a birthday meal?
Happy Birthday dear soop! I hope you have a splendiferous one with some nice treats and surprises. 
Good morning all !!
First and foremost -Happy Birthday Soop !! I hope MacS has prepared a day of treats and such for you ! And that Rory and Bracken are invited !!
Understated elegance does take time you're right soop . We're on the home straight now. At least it will look fresh and clean even if we miss elegance by a mile
Pleased to hear you will be seeing the new baby soon Galen . I bet you cant wait.
Daphne I smiled at your early wake up call. We have some sort of magic going on here because although 3 of our 4 DGC get out of bed in the night at home it never happens here. Even the 2 year old did not move ( although we , like you had the emergency stairgate up
It takes me a while to recover from sleepovers and I compounded it by babysitting for the 2 boys again last night but at their house. So my duties are well and truly done for a while
The photos are lovely though and they do look a lively bunch !!
Well time to get back to normal today with some serious tidying up . Our open day looms and we want everything to look lovely.
Hope the op goes well Ann
Glad you're getting to see the new arrival sooner than you thought Galen. I bet you can't wait
Daphne lovely photos. The one on the climbing thingy reminded me of my youngest DGC trying hard to keep up wth the others.
Lona don't work too hard. You should be enjoying your new home and some
Oh dear I am possibly too late to send warmest wishes to ann60 but I will send them anyway through the aether and look forward to hearing it has all gone smoothly.
I am getting us back to normal after the whirlwind visit from the DGC. Actually it was in some ways one of their best sleepovers yet. The boys are very independent at 6 and 4 1/2 as far as their needs are concerned and for once there was very little fighting, often they are like puppies in a sack but they seem to have calmed down
Pippa is a determined little miss with an enchanting and tolerant smile and a wil of iron and a Nooooo! that you can hear in the next county. She hops out of her travel cot at the drop of a hat and took a long time to settle last night. Luckily I had put a stair gate at the top of the stairs right outside her door as she woke me (and half of Bucks) at 2.30 clinging to the gate. If it hadn't been there she could so easily have tumbled down the stairs as she doesn't really know this house.
Bit of a disturbed night (!) as I said earlier and everybody was having breakfast by 7 but I "bought" myself a couple of hours of peace to have a coffee and prepare lunch (thank you C Beebies ) before we headed up to the playground just 5 minutes from our house. Mummy and Daddy were here shortly after 12, so lunch in the garden, football for the kids and poor probably hungover SIL and then they were gone by 3. Grace reclaimed her rug and after they had all gone I went back to bed and crashed for 2 hours!!
I don't do lack of sleep at all well, but it was a treat to see them.
Pics attached.
Nunight!!
Going to see new arrival next Saturday!
Hang on a bit, Charleyg I shall redirect the rain that is drenching our garden right now. Boy, it's awfully blowy with it.
I shall complain to the Radio Times for misleading us. Damn volleyball was on for ages. Surely we deserve an explanation. I've cursed for much of the afternoon. Little good came of it.
It's time for me to say farewell. I shall join you all at sometime tomorrow.
Bye for now. 
I've not been in here much this week as I seem to be busy busy busy!
Just wanted to wish ann good luck with the knee op tomorrow. Try not to worry about what's going on at home while you're in hospital, just concentrate on getting yourself better. ??
Galen many congratulations, I would love a new baby to cuddle ?
Soop your hair looks great, I'd love to be able to put my hair up like that, but it's so heavy that it just fell down again whenever I tried it.
I shall leave some bubbly to wet the baby's head and get back to my chores! ?
