My 2 girls both have their birthdays in September. Yesterday was DD1's birthday and today is DD2's birthday. Last night had been chosen as the night for the family get together, DsD3 works shifts and has very few nights free and last night was one of the 2 Thursday nights off this month. (DsD1 was in Canberra with a school excursion from Wandoan, so she couldn't make it)
Yesterday morning I made the 2 birthday cakes...the usual Black Forest cake for DD2 and a Red Velvet cake as requested by DD1. I forgot to take a photo of the Red Velvet cake but 2/3 of it was eaten and I sent the rest home with DD1.
DH is assisted by my brother at the BBQ...it's a family tradition that those 2 always cook!
Now why do they (DD2 and DsD3) have the laptop at the table???
In 2011, at this time of year, I wrote 2 posts about the days on which each of my girls were born... here are those memories again...

On this day 30 years ago...
Thirty years ago was a Friday. My first baby was due on the following Monday. All day that Friday I had the compulsion to clean and I did. The vacuum cleaner didn't seem to be working very well, so I convinced my husband that we should go into the city for late night shopping and buy a vacuum cleaner, which we did! (now how mad/idiotic is that?) We lived only 5km from the city and in those days it was easy to find car parking there...but it's still idiotic lol!
We came home with a brand new cleaner, a Hoover I think, and then I made us dinner. And I remember what I cooked, Steak Diane and a tossed salad. After dinner I went to bed, leaving the washing up, as I was quite tired by then. I woke up at about 5 am with abdominal pains, so off to the loo I went. These pains kept coming back and then I decided to see what the time interval was. Hmmm every five minutes..could it be...could I be...???? Husband rang the GP who said that I should go to hospital. I was there and admitted by 7am and at 10 to 1 in the afternoon, DD1 was born.
