Family times

One of the main purposes for coming to Perth was to catch up with all the family that has migrated over here, and in particular to attend one nephew's wedding. So on Saturday we were invited to lunch at the bridegroom's place so that we could meet the bride's family. If you do any entertaining at all over here you need to have plenty of outdoor covered/shaded space. Brendon certainly has a very large deck that includes a BBQ and a gas pizza oven. We had a very enjoyable afternoon that included good food and a few beers/wines.

That night we were in for more family times as Nathan, brother of the bride groom, and Alicia have three small children - an 18 month old and 6 month old twins that were 3 months prem. Nathan and Alicia had Nathan's work do and as it was in Perth city they decided to give themselves a night off from the babies and book in to a hotel for the night. So the four of us (grandparents and us) stayed the night to baby sit. I must say that it was a full on night though Alison did the most of organising of feeding, changing and getting up in the night. It was lovely to be able to spend so much time with the great nephews and to get to know them. At the same time we were also pleased to be able to return them to their parents the next day.
