With 13 sleeps to go I couldn't hold out any more. So presenting....
Busy couple of weeks ahead before we go... all revolving around DD!
DD's 9th birthday party this afternoon. 14 girls coming. Not at home. Phew.
Specialist for DD on Monday for her knee. Long story short, she has a painful bone disorder at her knee, fixable-ish, will need surgery, but how much and rehab is unknown at this stage. Dancing and skiing will be big no nos for a looooonnnnngggg time. OK, she doesn't ski, but it sounds good! DD will be in a wheelchair for about 95% of our trip. Walking is now "limited" Dr's words. EG, walk from the car to your classroom. No big shopping trips at Parramatta
Wednesday night is the High School's Musical night. Her school is K-12. Even though DD is in year 3 she is in the year 5 - 12 choir. She can sing really well. OK, I'm her mum and I'm biased but I think it's pretty cool she's in year 3 and was asked to join the high school choir.
Today week is her real birthday. Her "boyfriend" is coming to dinner with us.
Wednesday night next week is the primary school Musical Night. DD will still go but they are modifying her role.
Friday next week we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Phew I'm exhausted just thinking about it.
And then there is the packing lists, kinda done, need fine tuning.
DH has a new video camera and he's walking around testing it out, learning the features before we go.

should we all sell our Westfield shares immediately??!!
13 sleeps woohoo it will be here in a flash
Good news, kind of, this morning from the specialist. Because DD isn't "developing" yet, we're holding off on the surgery path for another 6 months. DD cannot do any weight bearing exercise for that time, in the very slim chance her bones may repair themselves. All she can do is swim, stationary bike, and minimal walking. As expected it will be wheelchair most the time we're away. I'm kind of relieved now we're going to DW only and not New York on this trip. Ooh, and the Dr said the baby/small water slide a couple of times won't hurt, just not too many as there are stairs. 
Also where did you have the party? Looks really nice.
that cake looks fantastic looks like you all had a great day.
