Babies Here, Babies There, Babies Everywhere

I swear Ron and I are surrounded by babies!!! Both our neighbors just gave birth to baby boys (Oscar and Harrison) and of course our best mates Erick and Geena just blessed the world with Tyler James.

It seems as if everywhere we turn, we see babies. There are at least 6 women pregnant at BGI and plenty of men with wives expecting as well. And, in the last week two people brought their kids/baby to work. I think there is something in the water here at Barclays. I will have to drink bottled water for the next couple weeks just to be on the safe side.

Oh, and Kevin (Ron's dad) had a dream that Ron and I had a baby girl. Sorry, Lauren, but if that happens you know we will be fighting to name her Kaylin!

You know I am in baby world now because BBC World News just did a story on a pregnant women and her kids in some rural Chinese town.

Jason has landed

Hi everyone! We cannot believe how long it has been since our last post. We apologize for the neglect. There will be updates to come, especially in regards to our Tasmania trip. But for today, the big news is the arrival of our first visitor, Jason!!

We spent a whole day cleaning the terrace just for you, Jason! Oh, and I been practicing my baking skills in preperation. (A good idea for a later post).

Ron met him at the airport this morning and the two of them came by my work to check out the views from my 43rd and 44th floor windows facing Sydney Harbour. They already stopped for an Aussie beer on the way over, keep in mind Jason has only been in Sydney for about 3 hours.

I'm counting down the hours to 5.30pm when I can join them at The Loft for a cocktail or two or three or four... Jason will be meeting some of the KPMG crew tonight.

Massages. Something to look forward to when I witness Ron and Jason get smashed and attempt to stumble home from The Cross. Let's hope they don't have too bad of a hang over, we booked massages for 10am tomorrow morning. Can you believe this will be Jason's first professional massage?
