hey guys, have loved this site, look forward to talking to you more about your trip soon, love from us all xxx

Enjoy your welcome home ! We have enjoyed 'travelling' with you. Love to you all - well done Sally and Wayne. x

The time has gone so very quickly for me. Milo woke us up at 7.15 then Ariana in very shortly after, we had to wake Reagan at 7.30!!! we all got out the door on time but no porridge this morn !! I came home and after all the house hold chores took Milo for a walk. She played with a 12 week old lab in training for a blind dog and had lots of fun. G & F picked us up and we went to The Press Club in the city for lunch. Yujm it was sooo good. Took Milo to tennis which was not good,she grabbed and ate some of a dear wee girls chocolate fredo frog (they all got one after tennis) A & R were screaming at the wee girl ( who is smaller than Brad) for letting Milo eat chocolate !!! The net result is I will buy another fredo bar for you to give to the wee girl next Wed !!! I am going to miss all this next week. Life sure is not boring in this house. Fog disrupted Mel airport again today, have told A & R that you may be home before they go to school which will be great if it happens but they know wait and see. Have a great last day, a good flight home - see you soon.

Love as always M

Dear mummy and Daddy this is from Reagan.

Milo is being very naughty since time. Grandma and Pop think I have done really good tennis. cannot wait for fun friday. xxx hug xxxxxx

from ariana. to mummy and daddy, thank you for caring about my marbles hope you are having a great time and ready to come home. love Ariana, xox

not sure Mum will totally feel the same way, but I will miss checking this site for daily updates and looking at your photos and 'dreaming' of it being me!!! Can't wait to hear all about it and see all your photos in August. Jaden and I checked out the Melbourne zoo and aquarium online today. Fighting tummy bugs in this house so would like Grandma and Pop back please!! Enjoy your last day and am sure you are really looking forward to seeing the kids again. They will be jumping out of their skin!

Oh dear - you would have thought the world was ending this avo. Apparently we have to sit next to the drain and have our lunch. The marble box fell off the bench and of course most of her marbles have gone straight into the grate/drain !!! I did tell her that maybe Daddy might be able to go to school at the weekend and lift the grate and get into the drain and get them back. !!!!!!!!otherwise maybe we could g0 .and buy some new ones !!l However all is well now. Cannot believe Dad told you we were having mince for dinner it was actually minced beef with grated onion ,carrot and zucchini plus a tin of organic tomatoes and we had potatoes, pumpkin and broccoli. They both enjoyed. A good day, Reagan had his dress up day took some photos for you plus Jenny took lots at school. More walking, cleaning, cooking etc filled the day. Talked to a couple of your buddies today at school. all lovely girls. Looking forward to my lunch out with Gayle tomorrow do need some girl talk !!!.Sounds like you are having a great time, we are all looking forward to seeing the photos and of course having you both home on Friday Milo continues to make me laugh not too sure if you will find it so funny though - my contract did not include a puppy when I signed on for this deal. she is very cute tho have to say - plus she knows it !!!!

Enjoy your last couple of day - sorry there is a real world awaiting you here in Mel.

Love as always

Hi Mum and Dad

I am feeling very sad (grandma is typing this for me).Today while I was having my lunch I accidently dropped my marbles and they all ran into the drain. and we cannot get them out. I am sp very sorry as I know that you brought them for me and you will be very angry at me. Looking forward to seeing you on Friday. Love Ariana

text you back the other day but I assume still not working but just had to say your text came through blank!!! Our phones are not working well together!! Hope you guys having great day:)

Hi guys. Hope that you have both had a good day. I think that we have all had a good day. A had afternoon tea with the queen this evening. She looked great and I brought a posy of flowers for her to take to the Queen !!!. She said the tea tasted yuk but the chocolate cake was ok. Took some photos for you to see when you come home. We had a lovely Mel day today coolish but at least the sun was shining what a difference the sun makes. Pop even took Milo for a walk this avo. We went to the mall this morn to spend some of your money !!!!!!! only supermarket and wine shop Pop knows how to drive to !!!! A & R had pasta for their dinner and as you said they loved it R disapointed that there were no second helpings. however a banana and yogurt filled the empty space. So tomorrow I need to dress him up as a Farmer ! for school = life sure is not boring. I will do my best to get your bedspread washed before you get home - my little shadow thinks that she needs to be with me all day long. I did mention to A today that she had not sent you any messages for a while and she told me " I have just been a bit busy lately) !!! She also asked me if I could tell you about my house rules as she thinks they are much fairer !!!!!! We are all looking forward to fun Friday and seeing you both again. Take care and enjoy the rest of your holiday.

Love as always

What a privilege to share your holiday [and what's going on at Glen Iris] by this means. I am enjoying your photo selections - you guys are looking great notwithstanding the "glow" and perspiration. It sounds as if the "happyometer" is sitting on 100%. Lots of Love

Hope that you have had a good day. A long weekend here with two tired children and a puppy !!! However all asleep now so does not seem so bad. A R M and I all went to the park this morn and had a play and fed the ducks, M had a run with some new friends. This avo we spent a couple of ours on the wi ? and guess what my age came up as 75 !!! needless to say I was feeling all of that. BMI perfect so guess something in my favour. Dinner was the worst ever, cooked the frozen fish that we brought with oven wedges and fresh corn. Dad refused to eat his apart from the corn, A & R ate all of theirs and I ate some just for appearances sake - ice cream, chocolate and wine filled us up once the children in bed asleep it really was awful. We are all looking forward to having you both home on Friday have been told that Mum will be celebrating so we will be doing fun friday with pizza? Gayle and Frank picking us up on Wed and we are going to some Greek restaurant in the city for lunch - sounds good to me A warmer day today even got the washing dry on the line for the second time since you left. Time for me to go to bed, school day tomorrow so need to be more organised. Will take a photo of A as she goes to dine with the Queen tomorrow at guides and then of R as he goes to school as "old McDonald" on Tuesday Enjoy your last few days sounds like and looks like you have had a wonderful holiday.

Take care love as always
