After not as much sleep as we would have liked the kids were super excited Thursday morning when cousin Xavier went bounding up the stairs. The Three Musketeers had a lot to catch up on.
Nali started to whip out her sweet merch, it was puffin madness.
The “cheeky boys” managed to slip away from Eloise but she knew just where to find them.
Super Mum has been busy on the sewing machine the past couple of weeks, whipping up another baby blanket for baby Talbot 2.0.
Lachlan had a great setup after kicking Maya out of her bed so he could enjoy his breakfast.
Now full of energy Lachlan was ecstatic when Aunty Liv had brought him his first set of golf clubs. After ripping it down the St Andrews Old Course 16th fairway he was all ready to show Liv his new swing.
The Three Musketeers could not wait to get outside, it is pretty miserable weather in Adelaide at the moment but when has that ever stopped the kids? At least we are far away from the lethal UK wildflowers.
The only thing that the kids were missing now was the golf cart. With Xavier’s strong scrumming skills, Lachlan was enjoying flying along.
Eloise and Lachlan tried with all their might to get Xaxier moving with varying levels of success and lots of shouting.
We were all slowing down in the afternoon, well almost all, everyone except Eloise had a short nap on the couches. Eloise miraculously just powered through the day.
Eloise had so much energy that she helped Grandpa DAVE make dinner before enthusiastically demanding he got down on the floor and play cars with her.
Lachlan gave his beloved Maya a final kiss for the night before they all hit the hay.
Today, Santa Liv came bearing more gifts for the World’s most spoilt kids. The kids enjoyed spotting the dinos with Uncle John. Lachlan was doing his happy dance as he lucked out with a new dino book. Eloise and Lachlan had a great day as Becca was in charge. It was not long until they were all at the playground.
In the afternoon we had our dearest Nanny’s funeral. It was a difficult and emotional afternoon but the funeral went as well as it possibly could have. Thank you all for supporting our family we certainly appreciated you all being there. The one positive for the day was getting the chance to meet my first cousin once removed, she was doing brilliantly albeit giving me some cheerfully adorable weird looks.
Rest in peace Nanny!
Thinking of you all and sending our love at this sad time. Hope you the support of family and friends makes it all a little easier. Love from London.
Thank you Sue, hope you are all still having a blast!
Lovely having you all in Australia for a brief visit, in spite of the very sad reason for returning. It was a lovely service, very emotional and very fitting for such an incredible woman.
Yes, was great to catch up with you all 😃 Thanks Linda
