The fun kicked off on Friday when Kees, Emma and Chris came over for a BBQ extravaganza. Dan knocked up a great spread and we sat in the garden till the early hours drinking bubbles and beer. It was so nice to see our dear friends, we've missed them greatly and are glad to have them back in our lives for the next month or so.
Saturday was spent cleaning, swimming and shopping (whilst nursing a rather inconvenient hangover which wasn't quite the plan, but inevitable really...) before mum and dad's early arvo arrival today. The 5'oclock hair of the dog with Lynda and John helped ease our pain, but an early night was still required to help banish those heavy heads.
I have to say it was a strange experience standing in front of the arrival doors at Perth International. We have always been the ones coming through those doors following a rather tiresome flight, so to be waiting there with baited breath for my darling parents to arrive was a poignant moment in this big life changing move. Needless to say the customs officials were hot on the job today and they were through just 20 minutes after landing. It was lovely to have a big hug and welcome them into our lives again. We dropped the cases off and headed to Cottesloe for a late arvo swim and some fish n chips at sunset. Rob (Dad's friend) was straight in the water with the snorkelling gear, Dan, mum, Fin and I tackled the waves (and attempted a surf - albeit unsuccessfully) whilst dad sat on the beach with Meggie Monster listening to her stories about nursery, Ollie's latest adventures and her new imaginary horse, Boobies...
So I sign off tonight with a happy heart. It's going to be a great couple of weeks :)
