24 September 2015 Thursday

Last Sunday was a special and unexpected day.
First of all, Brian and I went to church and it was one of those worship times where every word spoken was relevant and every song sung was exactly the right one! We were uplifted  to be there.

After a late lunch Dale popped across the road to say g'day, and then there was a further knock at the door. 
Next thing, in walked Sonya (from Albury) with three of the four children in tow (Morgan was napping.) We had no idea they were coming so it was indeed a surprise to see them all. Scott stayed behind for work (and no doubt some peace and quiet), but the next few days for us were spent having delightful times with Sonya, Liam (9), Lauren (5), Kaylee (3) and Morgan (18 months). They didn't sleep here, but we soon had an impressive coverage of books, toys, games, craft supplies and the like - that remained until they left yesterday. 

These next few photos are unashamedly devoted to them! 

Poor Nan got stranded in her sitting chair on quite a number of occasions, while the children practiced driving the wheelchair around safely inside! Liam took this very seriously.
Kaylee was keen to have a go with a willing Lauren to assist from behind.


No way was Morgan going to miss the opportunity to push from behind!

Meanwhile Poppy and Morgan connected on a personal level - and in fact Morgan showed little interest in the toys, but rather moving stones from the candle holder to Poppy and back again... or locating any remote control within cooee. 
Blonde hair and blue eyes - so different from the other children but just like his Daddy.
Much time was spent enjoying stories... as if Nan minded!
You always know it will never work when you try to get the 5 grandchildren together for a photo (this includes Kodey)          - but it doesn't stop you having a try anyway!!!
It was such a lovely few days and we enjoyed every minute (but I will say we slept well at nights!)
