Packin packin and more packin



We are off down under tomorrow afternoon. Have spent the last few days packing. Packing the portable crib (the apartment we are renting in Coogee charges $15 a day for a crib....we bought one here for $100 and will dump it before we head to KL as we left one at my parent's house when Sasha was a mere babe). Packing extra diapers and formula for Dylan (fingers crossed that they have Enfamil A+ down under..and that it is not produced in China). Packing summer clothing and books. Swimsuits. Toys we will buy there. Doug and I will take maybe 20 minutes to pack our stuff. I have been packing for the kids since Tuesday. Am I looking forward to this trip? I am looking to going back to our old stomping grounds. Taking Sash and Dylan to the zoo, the aquarium, the beach, the coastal walks. I am excited about seeing the family again, spending Christmas in KL/Phuket with them. I am NOT looking forward to the flight there and back. I am seriously dreading it. A necessary evil I suppose.

My father in law, brother in law and niece left on Sunday night. It was a tight fit but it really was fun having them over. We didn't do much as they have visited TO many times, so meals were had at home and we played cards and chatted after dinner. Sasha loved all the attention she was getting from her grandpa. She danced for him and he played with her new Dora doll.



FIL's primary reason for visiting was to meet Dylan, his 18th grandchild.



They look alike, non?
