Well we have definately been busy little beavers. We left brisbane on Tuesday night and went down to Daniels mums. We got there around 11 their time due to the time difference and everyone else had really only just got there too. This is the first time in years that all the kids have been together due to overseas travels, pregnancies and whatnot so it was rather exciting! So after awhile Caitlin and I went to bed and Daniel crawled in at some ungodly hour after drinking with his brother.

The next day was the day of the funeral, a lovely overcast kinda drizzly day which seemed fitting. It honestly was a lovely service given by Uncle Vincey who was poppy's brother in law and daniel and caitlin and the other kids did a tribute with little objects (as grandkids and great-grandkids) which was lovely, and tearjerking at the same time. Caitlin was good but was prone to wandering so I didnt really concentrate too hard which is good for me as I didnt want to have a massive breakdown. The lowering of the body was the hardest thing, so sad, getting a little teary thinking about it. Caitlin made everyone smile though as there was a basket of rose petals and everyone scattered some over the coffin as it was lowered so after everyone was done she grabbed teh basket, sat by the edge of the grave and proceeded to drop the rest in one by one. Uncle Vincy loved it especially, it was kinda simbolic and at least helped everyone with their pain a little.

So after that long day was over we all went home and ate spag bol.

As daniels eldest sister is getting married there on the weekend all the other kids are staying there for the week, his parents are stoked, its not often they get this much of our time, and all at once is non existant so they have loved it! We stayed there till today, but spent Saturday night out at my mums, (we cant stay there for almost a week and not see her!) and stopped in to see my darling friend Erin who is due the same time as me. It was great to see her, she is HUGE! I will post some pics after I get them off my camera! So overall we honestly had a ball, went to the beach a few times which Caitlin loves, there was alot of drinking done by everyone except me! And also a fair bit of lazing around watching movies and just chilling.

I honestly have had the best time, it was a shame that we had to come home, we both need to work though, especially for my pay as I am a casual so no work no pay, and I am already down to just one day this week cause of Monday. But we will be back down on Thursday night for the wedding on Saturday and I am really looking forward to it!

Daniels eldest sister Stacy and Chris are coming up tomorrow afternoon to stay the night so they can get tot eh airport early and pick up chrises parents so we get to show off our new house! YAY! So, on that note, I had better go and do a little cleaning!

Hope everyone had a fantastic easter!
