I love having family around. Even though Matt and I live relativley close to both sets of parents and most of Matt's siblings, plus most of my extended family, I still miss my brother and sister. So when they are able to visit I kinda feel like being totally selfish and kidnapping them!!! I don't really want to share my time with them...but I do.
I have totally enjoyed the last few days with Declan, Justine, Gus, Tilly and Felix.
Gus with Isaac and Reuben at Salamanca
The girls (Charlotte, Bella & Tilly) at the market
The girls (Bratz) playing at 'The Farm'
The best part of the last few days was definitely meeting Felix for the first time.
He is soooo cute and so happy. It was nice to have a little baby around for a while.
Since Friday we have spent as much time together as possible. We've been to Salamanca, had family dinners, hung out, been to the movies, done a bit of running around, had a day off school, played at 'The Farm', watched dvd's, had yummy pancakes for lunch, played dress ups, zoomed around on the motor bikes, back flipped on the trampoline, got freezing cold, sweltered, missed out on heaps of sleep, caught up on sleep, celebrated Pa's birthday, so much!!
This morning I said goodbye to my brother for another year, maybe two, and now I can't help but feel a little sad. The kids have had a wonderful time together, they get on so well, and I'm sure will miss each other terribly. Oh well maybe we can save our pennies and go visit them. Here's hoping.
Declan and Felix

Im glad a got a quick little visit too! Nice composition in your pics Blanche! he he!
Kim, some of these have been 'fixed' with the basic things on windows live or with picasa. Matt has been doing reports on the 'good' computer so I have been banished!! I love my camera though, it does take great pics.
Oh Jus and Declan!!! I haven't seen them yet - they are here for a bit longer aren't they!? Little Felix looks so cute and I can see the other kids in him. Must be so nice to see them, but so sad to know they will be going back again soon :(
They are great pictures!
We had so much fun while they were here too that i forgot to take many photos...

It must have been great to see them all. What cute kids and it looks like your kids had a great time with them. Your photos are looking fantastic!
I just saw them!!!! The doorbell rang and I got the biggest surprise of my life to have Jus, Declan and Felix at the doorstep! Felix is so cute. It was great to see them. I'm glad I got to see Declan before he left.
