He has now and I will post tomorrow. Little ones can be so noisy. You forget from when your own are little or is it that we can cope more as we are younger. We usually travel to see ours. D1 likes extra mummy time with pampering still and doesn't feel like she gets it with her siblings. So that's why she comes up to visit.<br />Hugs LindyLindy Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13859977416089280383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4583835057220713619.post-11984458376893879742016-01-09T21:37:28.957+11:002016-01-09T21:37:28.957+11:00Thanks Roz, it was wonderful having family time. ...Thanks Roz, it was wonderful having family time.

The wonderful sound of nature, love it.<br />Thankfully the fires haven't affected us. Last Summer we had them within 5kms of here which was scary. It has been a very hot start to summer this year. Mother Nature likes to keep us on our toes. Hopefully it will all settle down soon for all the poor people suffering in the extremes.<br />Hope you are safe in your area also and not too hot.<br />Hugs LindyLindy Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13859977416089280383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4583835057220713619.post-44891914523969449032016-01-09T21:32:28.485+11:002016-01-09T21:32:28.485+11:00Thanks for stopping by and commenting Rosie.

The food and family and fun are something we look forward to all year long. But I love that quiet, contented feeling when it is back to just Sam and I.<br /><br />One of our sons has also commented on the subtle and not so subtle changes in mom and dad's relationship. <br /><br />Can't wait until the new Cassie book is out! I have been thinking of taking a day off work. I love Cassie.<br /><br />Hugs Back to You,<br />Ella Ellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04236225732606002291noreply@blogger.com
