So, after a busy but relaxing and wonderful 9 days away, we're back! And wow was it great to see Olivia again! I think seeing her leap out of my Dad's arms and into mine was the best part of the holiday! We had an excellent holiday though and got to see some of the most awesome and beautiful scenery on this planet of ours! It was also really special being there with most of the van der Schaaf family to witness Terry and Nynke's wedding. Pity the weather decided to turn sour and we had rain all of Friday and Saturday!

It's Monday
It's raining - YAY!!!
Olivia is sleeping - YAY to that too
I chopped all my hair off on Saturday...eeek!
Daylight saving is finished! It was dark at 7pm last night; weird!
It's wintry...I love it, I might head for my bed too. Olivia was awake at 5 this morning, snoozed for a bit till 6, didn't take her Dad's advice on going back to sleep, so got to go in bed with Mum till it was a sane time to get up (only b/c her Mum was sick of listening to her whinge and whine). So I'm feeling a bit sleepy...
Anyway, here's some pics from Saturday night. The van der Veen tribe had a BBQ at Paul and Heidi's place for Renee's b'day. (They might be put on one per day b/c the connection is soooo slow.)
