What a week it has been! Ryan and Ollie love school, Ollie especially, he's just so keen to learn and is always bursting through the door at the end of the day, excitably sharing his latest knowledge with Mark and I. Ryan's plodding along happily but is happier out kicking a ball around than doing his homework. Alyssa and Daniel are loving their first year at 'big kids school' as they call it. Alyssa has just started dance and gymnastic lessons and her gym teacher thinks she may have quite a talent. Daniel, however, is our little mischief maker. He was so sick as a baby that I think Mark and I may have let him get away with a bit too much, just yesterday he ended up in the principals office for tipping one of his classmates juice all over her when she wouldn't give him any! Its a bit of a worry. However, at the moment i'm more worried about my own Dad, hes just been diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease, a nervous disorder that causes mobility problems. His condition isn't too bad just yet but we've been warned it could deteriorate. AND to top this week off, with good news this time, i'm pregnant again!

Love
Anna, Mark, Ryan, Ollie, Alyssa and Daniel
