Today we were able to celebrate with the family, all back in Canberra together since O & A & Claire & Jeremy returned from their holiday in Noosa (and the Gold Coast and Sandy Beach) yesterday.
Ollie and Angie looked fit and muscular after three weeks of swimming, running and eating.
We go to great lengths to get a nice photo of the boys together. 
But it never looks spontaneous!
Even though we celebrated with a big family breakfast early in the day it was already feeling fiercely hot in the garden by mid morning. While the kids played with the hose and a precious trickle of water we all sat using as little energy as possible while trying to imagine what it must be like for Davey and Cath in snowbound London for the past 20 days.
It is amazing how long some water and two buckets will entertain 3 littlies on a hot summer morning, although some refereering is required from time to time to ensure their individual survival.
Rob was thrilled to receive Ella's birthday present - a book illustrating all the things she likes to do with Grandpa: playing chick a boom on the bed, watering the garden with her pink watering can, using the blue torch in the shed, swinging high at the Telopea Park playground, learning about spiders, painting pictures ....... lucky Grandpa!
