Our Melbourne Trip.....

As time goes by, the distance between my sister and her family seems to get further and further. As all of the kids grow into little people (and adults.....), it just seems so wrong that they can't be together more than they are. Despite that, all of them share such a strong bond and it is just so special to witness.

Sage and Kara love and annoy the crap out of eachother all at once!!! They are both such little girls ~ say the words 'lip gloss' or 'dress ups' and they are at your feet withing seconds. We got to spend a lot of time with Sage this trip ~ we took the girls to the botanic gardens and got some divine photos ~ despite them running in different directions 99% of the time!!!

Rachael and Sage.....


I met my nephew's (Ricky) girlfriend this trip ~ her name is Jasmine and she and her family are lovely. We went out for Jasmine's 15th birthday and Kara showed the whole night just how much she loves her big cousin ~ she always has Ricka!!! I am so proud of Ricky. He is such a sensible and (mostly!!!) responsible young man...... my sister and Paul should be very very proud.

Ricky and Kara.....


Kara and Zak got along soooooooooooooo well this trip!!!! There was not ONE arguement, no dobbing and just great playing for a whole week!!!!! I wish they were closer.....

Jaye is the child that every parent wants ~ loving, caring and just a divine natured child.
