On Tuesday, Simone came to visit us from Dresden. The last time Fiona saw her was in Thailand in 2002 so it was lovely to catch up again. She is staying with us for a few days. Then on Wednesday, Joshua met his cousins Nancy and Grace for the first time. On Thursday, all the kids went on an excursion to celebrate Great Aunty Julie's birthday and all the adults enjoyed a special supper together that evening. And on Friday, Sarah and her two children, Harrison and Talia, came to visit so we could make plans for our holiday together at the end of July. We are really looking forward to a few days' holiday.
We've had a few Skype conversations with Nanna and Pa and Uncles Craig, Ross and Brad in Australia but we're still having a few "teething problems". Sometimes the camera doesn't work. Sometimes the microphone doesn't work. Sometimes nothing works!! But we have now booked our tickets to visit them in October and we are counting down the days until we leave.
Wednesday was a difficult day and Joshua was sick a lot which meant Fiona had to feed him ... a lot. At the end of the day we were all very, very tired. But we then had a couple of really good days on Thursday and Friday and there have been lots of smiles and gooing and other lovely noises. Fiona hasn't been so good at capturing the smiles on camera but she was successful today and hopes you enjoy seeing the smile that transforms even the toughest of days into a bearable one!
