Well thats it! Its all over until the next time.
Last night we had our last family get together to farewell Elin, Jim and the boys. We had dinner during which there was lots of happy chatter and reminiscing.
We tried to have an early night, although it didn't really work out as planned, as we had to be up early for the trip to the airport. The big people got up at 0130 to get ready, do a last bit of packing and get the boys into the car to leave about 0230. Henry woke as bright as a button whereas Johan was a little slow off the mark as he enjoys his sleep.
We arrived at Sydney International Airport by 0330 to be told that the flight was delayed. just what you need with two little boys who have been up since the early hours.
Once booked in, we said our very quick goodbyes before they headed off to the customs etc. There was lots of sadness and tears but at least Farfar did finally get a hug and kiss from Johan.
Di and myself were home by 0600 and checked on line to discover that the flight wasn't due to leave until 0740. The plane actually took off at 0813, which is one big delay, and is now just over 30mins into its flight which puts it approx. half way across N.S.W.
We have had a wonderful time, sometimes hectic but already the house seems overly empty and quiet.
We will miss them.
