We had a great weekend

Comment Published at 02:0202:024 comments4 comments18 Visits18 VisitsReport

Well actually I should probably make that we had a great sunday! Saturday was crazy hot here in Brisbane and it turns out the fantastic 6 foot fences that I love about this house also help stop any slight breeze coming into my house, gosh it was boiling. We went grocery shopping in the afternoon just to get out of the house before we melted.

Sunday was fun! We went down to visit some friends and meet their newborn son Baxter. Absolutely adorable! Oh, and a sleeper, oh that is my dream, he slept basically the whole time I was there! But dont worry, I still got my cuddle time in! Ciatlin was funny with him, she utterly ignored him for ages and then when Daniel picked him up she came over for a sticky beak and ended up gently patting him. It was funny to watch her pat him, seriously the way she pats the cat, but much more gentle!

It was great to see them, they have adapted to parenthood so well it was fantastic to see them as a beautiful little family!

On the way home we stopped off to see my brother as I realised I havent seen my nephew since our honeymoon which was in October! Crazy! He is so cute! AS different to caitlin as night and day, she is plump and dark hair and eyes and he is quite thin with blond hair and beautiful blue eyes. We also borrowed their bassinette, it is a fantastic cane one and is quite large! So that is one less thing to think about too.

I had a ball there, the kids are partners in crime so they cruised around her house together, I got to chat with Catherine about their upcoming wedding, which is in August! Woo HOO! She showed me the bridesmaids dress, a beautiful chocolate brown strapless number, so upset I had to say no, but its just to close to my due date. It is so relaxing becuase although they are so near the gold coast they are still in the hills with all the bush and it is lovely!

Anyways, we had a ball, got home late and Caitlin stayed awake the whole time in the car! I was so surprised, but she was covered in sand so I didnt really want her to go to sleep as she had to have a shower!

A great time was had by all!

sounds like a great weekend.  And I never would have thought about the fences stopping the wind.  That is the worst.

Dear Nicki,

I'm so pleased that you had a fabulous weekend, except for the heat, those 6ft fences would sure keep out any breeze.

Catching up with family & friends is very precious and it sounds like enjoyment was had by all. To cuddle a new born, how beautiful and that smell of a new born, no words can describe. Sounds like it was a children's weekend, they are so specail in their own little way.....their different looks.....the way they act  and they all seem to have their own little quriks that makes them unique.....that's what makes every new life so  amazing.

Love Janice
