Welcome Granna and Zaidie!



It's been a busy but great week+ since I wrote last. Gladys popped down to Melbourne again last weekend. We spent a lazy Sunday on Brunswick Street, enjoying another great Melbourne brekki and then meandering through some of the neat shops that line the street.

On Monday, we were very happy to welcome Granna and Zaidie for their 3 week visit down under! Although Georgie is the main attraction, we spent the week showing them some of our favourite haunts around the city. It was chillllllly last week, but the weather picked up this weekend, making for some beautiful fall days. We're really enjoying our visit (and some parenting relief!) and Georgie is loving lots of extra attention. So much so, in fact, that her fake cough which developed 2 weeks ago, has mysteriously disappeared. Thanks to our great babysitters, yesterday Scott and I had our first date since we left Canada. We spent the day on an Epicurean wine tour in the Yarra Valley and enjoyed dinner out last night on vibrant Acland Street.

In other news, Georgie had her first swimming lesson this week. Although the youngest in the class by a few months, she kicked and splashed with the best of them.

In these pics: Granna, Zaidie and Georgie at Brighton Beach, G sporting her swimwear pre-class, and Scott and I in the Yarra Valley sans baby.

  1. Oh my gosh while looking cold there Granna and Zaide look like their bursting with joy to the gorgeous Miss G. Think it was warmer back home then there as you moving into Winter and we towards Summer. Of course Miss G taking it all in stride as if she had just seen them, not been months since last visit.

    Loved the vids of G swimming she most definitely held her own! So glad you two were able to get out on your own knowing Georgia was most likely being spoiled and kept extremely busy with Granna walking her all over the place!

    Will you all be going to races while they there, bet Dick in heaven seeing how much they love their horses. Perhaps get them to footy game too!

    All the best and love to all until next week.
