@judithg boo! With the return to school today we are into the second half of the last year before littlest at school:( another 6 weeks and it will be his last term!!! They do grow so fast!!! Hope you adjust to the nest being emptier soon. It must be so tough at times. I remember with eldest panicking at 3 am in the morning that he was a month old and had calculated that there was only X months till he was 18 and maybe had left home... Hubby thought me slightly loopy... X
