The story of billy (another offering from Bumtunnel Films.



They're crazy but they're funny and at least it's getting them out and away from their computers and gaming and stuff.  I can't believe how close they are and how well they still get along. 

Slowly edging closer to the big day, God I'll be so glad when it's over.  I miss Kate, I miss my mother and sisters and the passing years don't diminish it.  We used to have huge family Christmases.  There are five in my family, and then with all the spouses and later the kids it was great.  But time and distance put paid to that.  My mother probably felt the same after we moved up north when I was a teenager, it was just the three of us and the others would sometimes come up after Christmas for a holiday (we lived right on the beach) Christmas was a quiet affair, probably a bit of a let down for Mum.
But I have my two youngest and I keep thinking of twenty families in the US who won't have their little ones at Christmas this year, or ever again.  And there are so many others who are truly alone at Christmas.
So I have drawings all over my dining room wall (the paint is like blackboard paint), holes in the pool yard, Em is making some sort of clay balls, and filming going on all over my messy house and I'm loving it!
These are the good old days.
