Robyn returns

Robyn came home today. This made us all very happy. Katie came down the stairs grinning from ear to ear. She came up to me and said “Mummy! Robyn there!”. She has been looking for her all week. They love each other to pieces those girls. It is really lovely to see. This afternoon they [...]

Best of 2009: Laugh

My family love to laugh. All of us have a great and sometimes wicked sense of humour. When we get together with my mum, dad, sister and nephew then big laughs are guaranteed. Sometimes the phone will ring and when you answer all you can hear is laughter, so much laughter that the person on [...]

Happy Friday
