My week away was great. I left at about 5.30 on monday morning and had a very good drive to the coast. I got there just before lunch time i think. From now on i'll be leaving that early every time!

On monday, we all got to Aunty Jens place. Once we were settled and had had a coffee, we headed down the street to pick up some stuff for dinner and then headed down to watch the pelicans being fed. It was quite cool. I have never seen it before, so i was intrigued.

Monday night we had a few drinks. I found out a load of stuff about my family i never knew. It was very very cool. I found out that the man who i have thought was my grandfather my whole life, is actually not. So god knows where i actually come from!!!!!!! We also watched a house fire down the street from Aunty Jens Balcony. It was massive. We didnt know if was a house or a tree. Turns out it was a house, but i dont think anyone was living in it. Luckily.

Tuesday was my birthday, and Austin seemed to know that i wanted to relax, so naturally, he played up a little. We went out and had lunch, he sooked and whinged the whole time. Grrrr. When we got back to Aunty Jens, i put him down for a nap and he slept for 2 hours! Hooray!!

When he woke up we headed down to the water and took some pics..

Tuesday night i went and stayed with Brad and Paulene (my boss and his wife from Sydney). Uh i was so tired i think i had a glass of wine with them and went to bed!! Was great to see them thou, they love Austin. Spoil him rotten when they see him. They have been married 24 years and were never able to have kids, so they simply adore our kids.

Wednesday i went off to meet Cathy (cathbusymum). It was great. She is so lovely. Very friendly and easy to talk to! I didnt even realise how long i was there for until i called my sister and realised i wouldnt be back in time to pick her son up from school (whole other story there) Anyway, Sami is seriously the most beautiful young woman i have ever met. She is such a gentle soul. She played with Austin and Keiraleah most of the time i was there. Keiraleah is beautiful too. She was quite quiet while i was there, but Cath assured me she is usually very loud LOL. Oh and the twins!!! OMG i have never seen such tiny little babies! they are adorable!! Makes me want twins now LOL!

I know cath has posted some pics, but here are more. Thank you again Cath for having us. It was really wonderful to meet you!

Umm Wednesday i stayed at Angeliques place and we did nothing. Thank GOD!!! I was exhausted!

Thursday was a special day! We went out to meet up with Natasha and Melissa. Unfortunately Danielle (the other twin) was unable to make it so it was just the 4 of us. Tash was my best friend in primary school and we figured out that it was about 14 years since we last saw each other. Danielle and Melissa were my sisters best friends too.

So we spent a couple of hours chatting away. It wasn't awekward or anything, which is sort of what i expected. But it was like we picked up where we left off!

Well that was my week!

Basically.

Other than all of that, Austin was not sleeping very well. He woke up most nights about 5 times. He was better last night thou, so i am hoping that it was just the portacot that he didnt like.

Shannon and i had a talk last night and i told him that i need him home. He said that he is going to ask to come back to Dubbo to work. It may take a few weeks to a few months for them to get him back here, but at least i know he is going to try to get back here now. Which makes me feel a whole heap better.

Ok, i am going to go now. I hope everone had a great week and is having a great weekend

Love Cass xoxoxoxox
