These are precious and special moments in life that you will both remember for the rest of your lives. I would love to come and see Sydney one day and hopefully we will get there. I love the photo of the four generations together, what a special moment in life and how wonderful that your grandfather is still alive and well at this age, a belated happy birthday to him. Gorgeous photos of you and Elle.

Good on him. I always felt slightly miffed when I first realised one of my children could survive without me, and then I felt relieved and free! So glad you had sometime away. AS for Christmas, I am fairly organised but know I'll hit the panic button at the end of this week! Merry Christmas to all seven of you (and the various creatures). xoMakeminemidcenturyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15304535583168822160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004458534993714527.post-56126131367772213992013-12-16T06:58:30.582+11:002013-12-16T06:58:30.582+11:00What a beautiful memory!
