It is with Sadness......

It is with sadness and excitment that I write this post although a little late. First the sadness that part of my family has moved away from us, but the excitment that they have themselves to be going "home"!

My cousin Jared his wife Tracee and their two beautiful children have left our shores and returned to the US.

Four days before Easter they came down to visit us with the surprising news that they would be returning to the US the following Tuesday for Eliza's wedding and would not be returning. The great thing was (this being the only great thing) that they were returning without anyone but Eliza knowing. Not even parents knew about their return !!!

So here are a few pics from our last time together here in Oz. Hopefully it wont be long before we can be together again.

The girls together for the last supper.
An Aussie BBQ  with snags and tomato sauce!!

J, T and P !!

Just love this little guy who will always be our little Aussie !!

Love this pic to, mummy looks so yummy !!

After dinner at our house we decided that these guys had better go and say their goodbyes to my mum and hope that she could keep the secret from Aunty Diane !! And yes she did !!

Best Buddies !!! Btw Tracee, poor littel E cried herself to sleep that night
knowing that she wouldn't be seeing R again any time soon.

Just the girls !!

There are some more farewell pictures from Tracee's camera which I will update with when they come through.

I would just like to say a huge thankyou to Jared and Tracee for uprooting your lives and coming all the way here to try something new. It is so great to have you in our lives and we already miss you way to much. I am also very excited for you to be going "home" and back to your friends and family. Can't wait to see you again hopefully before 2015 !!!
