Emma and Rory come to stay...

Emma and Rory made the trip up north for the ANZAC Day long weekend. Now, I’d like to think my little sister and her lovely fiancée, Rory, made the trip up to see us all…, but I know it was just to see, and spend time with Jude and Pres. It was a sad Monday night after dropping them off to the airport as we all had such a fabulous weekend. Definitely in the top 3 of weekends spent in Rocky! Both Em and Rorus spend oodles of time with Jude, whom was a little shy for all of 5 minutes, before showing off massively! He wanted to impress. He was full of chatter, and kindly, Aunty Emma taught Jude two new words…..

- Me, and

- Mine

THANKS – not!! Now everything Jude touches or points at is followed by ‘MINE!!!’.

Jude had so much fun with his aunty and uncle! The days were filled with lots of outdoor play, cuddles, a trip to the beach, ice cream(s), walks, and an early morning wake up for Em (8am people – but that is early for sleeping beauty!). The weekend made me realise how much I miss both of them, and at the risk of sounding corny, how much they have grown up since we moved to Rocky in 2007. The are such gorgeous people individually, a fabulous couple, and most of all, wonderful family for Jude.

Below is a snapshot of the fun weekend…

(I have to give you a background…, when Emma and Dale get together, they wind each other up, hence, the silly photo first up below. But, I came downstairs with Rory after an hour of them chilling by the pool to find my son dressed up and auditioning for the Village People…, photo number two!)…

The two of them in action!

What they did to my poor little boy!
