We're home from our perfectly marvelous week away. It was exactly what we needed to restore ourselves after such a trying year. A huge thank you to our neighbors Claire, Paul & Holly for letting us stay in their beautiful beach house.
We already miss that spectacular view.
My official line is that I left a little piece of my heart in Eden and will have to go back next year to retrieve it.
Yesterday we opened the gifts that were left under the tree (thank you Aunties & Uncles...the boys LOVE their presents!) and spent the morning pottering about the house trying to keep cool.
The Jackman slept so well in the single bed at the beach house that we decided that it was time to ditch the toddler bed and get him a big bed of his own so I went on the hunt yesterday afternoon and found a fabulous 1920s style frame which arrives tomorrow. I'm just a smidge excited about taking down all the baby decor and redecorating Jack's space with a whole new look. Have been getting some great ideas from Houzz.
Hubby has another two weeks of leave and we're making plans for days spent paddling about on Lake Burleigh Griffin with our kayak, bbqs with friends and visits to Questacon and the Railway Museum. Think we'll squeeze in a few swims at our local pool & some backyard water fights too.
Am finally going to see The Hobbit DOS tonight! Have only been waiting an eternity to see this one. Really, why do we Aussies have to wait longer than the rest of the world to see these films. Such a tease! Anyhoo, the time has come again to feast my eyes on the magic of Peter Jackson. Squeeeeee!
Happy Summer
