Well, I was thinking that I don't have kids, which seems to be a big draw - kids are so cute. Plus most of my photos are of my friends, not me. Perhaps I'll get around to shrinking some of my NZ photos and putting them into a Picassa album.

I have to admit, I've never really understood the appeal of facebook/myspace. It comes in handy having one from time to time, this forum site is a great example of how having one makes it very easy for sharing photo's with everyone and allowing you all to see who I and my family are. It's also handy for sharing my life with relatives that live abroad.

As Selchie said the buddle bath photo is great. But trust me, they are not angelic all the time. At the moment they are running around like headless chickens and my eldest (James 3 1/2) is waiting not soo patiently to go to the CBeebies website and play games. These are the kind of photo moments I don't want to share with you all.

Hang on, James types "j5vxq]f ghuio89",

I find facebook much easier to use than Myspace- it is just plain an simple and the photo uploading on facebook is great- you can upload multiple pics at once and it will resize them all for you.

My facebook public profile is

And myspace is

I know what you mean about the Kids Jon- mine are just the same- just wait til you youngest is running around too and climbing up everything- my youngest is 18months and drives me mad at the moment.She know what she wants bit still isn't really talking so can't tell me and she gets really frustrated with it- I must spend hours holding things up til she says yes to find out what sh'e after.

alas, Lauren is now 1 and has been running around the house for a month now. No more crawling and lots of climbing. Yet again, we are now moving things up higher and higher so they are out of reach of wondering hands!

Was looking at those pics earlier Dawn- what a gorgeous looking girl- sorry woman she is.

Got quite a wait for my girls but i'm sure it will be here before I know it.

Dawn,

I've noticed time just fly's by with kids. You also seem to wish you life away, thinking "i wish they would walk/talk" then later, you think to yourself, "I wish they would go back to when they could not walk/talk". I saw the pics of you Laurens prom. My Lauren has a few more years yet, but it's certainly strange to think that could be her in 17 years time!!!
