A day with family ..

The Schobs family, Pip, Matt and Elliott, came to stay last weekend - it was lovely having my gorgeous daughter with hubby and very cute son to hang around with.
Matt had a gig in town and us `girls` took Elliott down to the Gardens - I`m starting him early !

I babysat that night while all the younger clan went into town to support Matt and his band - Nana Marcie watched a movie and crashed into bed. Elliott was a very good boy and slept all night - apart from the time cuddled up to Nana, singing and trying to stand up - he eventually went back to sleep just as the birds started singing !!
Elliott is amazed that these creatures move and have eyes !! He spent some time trying to open Leroy`s eyes and my lovely placid Burmese cat just sat there for ages, didn`t even move a muscle - or though I did see his tail twitching ...
Sunday morning we had brunch at Jacks, a cool cafe down the road, Ellena starts work there this Sunday, washing dishes etc - the girl needs extra money . .
After they left for home I cleaned up the house, it is amazing how much mess 3 other people can make, especially in my small place .. I love having family to stay ...
