I’m jealous of you tree Charlie, as we lack one for the second straight year. 🙁 We’ll make up for it in 2013!

I’ve been away and missed that you’d gone on a cruise.. it must have been fabulous! I, too, used to make meals for the family.. but now that they’re older, I figure it’s good practice (I meant the kids, not my husband.. well, he could use the practice as well;). Good luck with Alfie’s pants.. maybe that’s why suspenders were invented? xx

You are always so busy. I have the same problem with Tylers pants. We just get tighter belts.!

I love that Archie’s band busks with a double base, and no shoes! It sounds like life is cursing along happily enough! But I bet they’re glad to have you back!

Good going, Charlie! I’m sure your family is happy to have you back.

Carl did a good job on that pasta! I think I recall you sharing about another time you did make the meals and get everything prepared before you took off and then realized they’d eaten out most of the time. It’s good for everyone to have a change in scenery, and for others to learn how to adapt to mom being away. After the months of costume making, party giving, baking those fancy cakes and desserts, and let’s not forget the weeks of life that went into Arabella’s prom while she was sick and I remember the escapades with all the tailoring for her perfect dresses…I’m surprised you came home as quickly as you did! 🙂

Poor Alfie and his pants! My brother was like that, terribly thin all through primary school and also tall, so clothes were a challenge. Congratulations to Archie on finishing his year of study and your Christmas tree looks great 🙂

I, too, wondered how everyone fared without you to look after them. Seeing that everyone survived and, in fact did well, maybe you need to get away more often. You know, for their own good. 🙂
Looking forward to some Christmas recipes from Down Under.
