Well... it's taken a long time, but today is here.
Today Russ, Tess and the kids arrive for an extended visit.
I am going to find it hard to not just want to grab me grandkids and smother them in kisses.
BUT... I am a stranger to them, so it might be more prudent to hold back a little... and bribe them with lollies! lol
Not that wee Bodhi will be eating lollies yet... dammit.
Before they arrive... I want to re-make beds that are for them... put up the porta-cots, and sort out dinner.
They arrive in the country mid afternoon... I can't wait!!!
OMG I hope Sienna doesn't cry at us, or Bodhi!
Haylea I'm not worried about at all... she's 8 afterall.... I am expecting her to get on with Brylee and Griffin just fine.
I'm having a few problems with my Camera... but I don't want to take it in for a service as I NEED IT over the next few weeks. Can you imagine ME without a camera with family visiting/Christmas/New Baby Due??? HELL NO! I will just have to be a bit more careful with the settings in the meantime.
Ok... time to go and get busy so the day goes faster...
ONWARD...
WHOOPS... I've been busy! went out with Bex and got me camera card copied off onto DVD so I can use it! It was full... 2145 photos! Almost at capacity.
Lunch. Lacy and Keera here.
Feilding calls from Russell... he is getting me my favourite perfum at Duty Free! SCORE!
Now ... just waiting for them to call ... I may have to go out and 'guide' them here from wherever they are getting their rental car from.
Bex baked muffins. I ate ONE. So nice!
Lacy cleaned out the fridge, ewwww she found some rotten mince! GROSS. And whoops!
Nervous. Hope the babies don't scream at me!
It feels like it's going to rain.
Is it Friday? ... NO ... just feels like it for some strange reason.
Wish my phone would ring... I want to be DOING something... like meeting them at the car rental place.... HURRY UP!!!
THEY ARRIVED!!! Baby had a stinky bum, so Lacy got nominated to do the change:
End of Day: well as you can imagine, I'm in 7th heaven. Sienna is still wary of me... which is understandable. She will warm up soon enough... I believe in LOLLIES ... lol

I think every kid has an aunt that would grab them and give them kisses they didn't want. Grandmother'd be no different, Go for it!

Such an exciting day!!! I am sure the grandkids will take to you really quickly, they have seen you on skype so will recognise your face and your voice - not to mention the love radiating from you when you see them.
ReplyDeleteYay! Such an exciting day for you all! Can't wait for more photos - be careful with your camera as your blog would not be complete without photos :)
ReplyDeleteLove Bex's card too :) She is very clever (just like you)!
I love Bex's card. She certainly has a talent for cards. I am sure that her Nana will be very pleased to receive it.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you will be pleased to see the vistors go home? All those people in the house would give me the hebee jebees - I need my own space.
Duh, left my comment about Bex's card on the other post.
ReplyDeleteYou are just going to be over the moon. You will win the kids over. lol.
ReplyDeleteAnd no - there is no way I can you being without your camera.
Is Mike going to be coming up from Palmy sometime during Russell's trip.
