AFTER FOUR YEARS!! AT LAST - René, Sayaka, Cal and Mara arrived on the 27th Feb. I headed home from my babysitting weekend in melbourne and they all arrived the next day. They came for 5 days but ended up staying nine after their borrowed car broke down on the friday afternoon. by the time the garage did a diagnosis on monday they had to rent a car to drive back
But the time here was wonderful, the kids loved their room, we had easy bbq dinners, went to the beach, op shops, and it was great to catch up with some of rené's friends.
One of the highlights of the visit was watching the cousins
meeting for the first time.
it was great to catch up with some of rené's friends -
we had a big sunday barbecue.
Chris Taranto drove his fabulous US Fairlane and parked it on the front lawn, it added a touch of class to no 11. He took susan and sean and the jenfreds for a spin
Cal and Mara were amazed that there was free fruit for
kids at the supermarket -
we found mara with an armful!! 😂
MARA is a real little free spirit, her response to the birds at the beach and the sensation of the breeze as she turned in the swing at the playground was pure joy to watch
on the night i looked after etta we made a birthday cake
for Mara who has just turned 8
CAL king of the barbecue
We went to check out Pt Lonsdale school and Fay the principal
spent an hour with us, taking us through the classrooms
and thoroughly explained the ethos of the school, which is
just wonderful, Cal's eyes were popping at the description
of classes and specially the size of the outdoor grounds

what an absolutely gorgeous family |
