Day 82 - Happy Birthday Mum



For the first time in over 3 years, my entire family sat down together to celebrate our Mum's birthday. It is what happens when we all live in different states and now that some of us live in the same state, my brother lives 4 days drive or a 7 hour plane ride away.

It was great to all sit down together and have dinner and celebrate all the wonderful things our Mum has done for us.

Tonight was also the night we all had to say goodbye to Mick and Katie as they leave for home tomorrow. It was a little heartbreaking to see Austin so upset - at the same time I was glad for once it wasn't me making him that upset! A little sad that after a week the girls finally were happy to have cuddles with Mick and Katie on their final days here.

Hopefully it won't be that long between drinks again.

Day 79 - Congratulations Mick & Katie!


I never thought I'd see the day my brother would settle down and get married.

Today we got together to congratulate Mick and Katie on their marriage. I think it has been 3 years since I have seen Mick. Sadly I guess that is what happens when you fall pregnant and have kids and he lives in Darwin. Certainly a little too far for a quick trip up the highway!

It was great to have all the family together again, albeit for a short time.

Hopefully it won't be so long between drinks Mick and Katie.
