If I had have rested, relaxed or slept any more than I did they would have pronounced me dead! It was so great to sit in the sun and read a book, walk along the beach, take the kids to the park and sit in the sun and read a book. Just blissful! And just what I needed. I feel so much happier and rested and positive about….well everything 🙂
189 This is me feeding one of the hundreds of birds that came all throughout the day. The kids were facinated by them.
192 Holly got her hair cut while we were there. She must have had about 10cms or so chopped off. All the curls came right in, but she prefers me straightening it with the hair dryer!!! Come Monday morning and the rush for school – there won’t be any hairdrying happening!
195 This is Jess and cousin Andrew. There is 3 weeks age difference and they were a delight to watch. The plodded around and chatted and played together.
198 And this is the girls. We had such a great time altogether and they loved having Mum and Dad around 24/7. 🙂

To top off a awesome week, we had some great news on Friday. My brother Matt and his wife Penny had thier first baby. A gorgeous little boy called Jacob. I could have held him all day, he is so cute and so tiny. 201 Me being clucky!
204 The divine Mr J.
207 Jess was so taken with him. She wanted to touch him all the time, but was a bit rough! I think she’ll be right when our baby comes along. I was a bit worried because she so much likes to be the baby. I thought she might have her nose out of joint, but I guess she’ll just have to adapt like the others did!! (Note – could Jess’s eyelashes be any longer? I measured one and it was 15mm. Mine was only 9mm. Where is the fairness in that?)

So that just about wraps up our week away. Got an antenatal appt this week – can’t wait to hear the heart beat and be reassured that all is OK. I am starting to feel little kicks which is so nice.

Thanks for popping over!
