My blog has been very neglected lately - but we have been very busy in the Marzie household. Extended family has been to visit us here in Australia from the USA and Tasmania! We are just getting back into normal programming.
WARNING: photo heavy post
We all headed up to Bright which is in the beautiful North East of Victoria - a perfect spot for families - there is so much to do for everybody. The weather was absolutely perfect - we spent most of the time out of doors - bikes, kayaks and walking. The 9 cousins had the best time together - 8 boys and one girl!. Bridie is the newest addition and as she lives in the States our times together will be few and far between. I had my 'baby fix' looking after her a few time and of course, I sewed a few dresses for her and you will see some of them in the photos. She really is a beautiful baby - in nature and to look at (or maybe I am just a very biased aunty!)
The only downer was a tummy bug was going around and knocked us all around for a bit. The good thing about kids is that they bounce back quick! The adults took a bit longer to get back into the swing of things. We heard a couple of the hospitals in the area were quarantined because of it too, I think it must be the change of season.
I am now having to think about the real world again - like housework!
Here are a few snaps of our time in Bright.
