Belated update

Sorry about the lack of Blog action lately! I don't find myself having very much 'me' time at the moment and when I do, there are usually other priorities (like sleeping). We had a busy trip to Australia and Mack's first visit was packed with action and admirers. The little fella travelled really well and actually slept during most of the flight over. We spent two weeks in Adelaide followed by 5 days in Sydney and were blessed with great weather most of the time. In fact, the weather was a bit too hot when we arrived in Adelaide at 35C and poor Mack dealt with it by sleeping and sweating alot. He had only ever experienced UK wintery weather! Our trip was full of mixed emotions for me. It was a happy time as Thom, Mack and I were able to spend all our time together as a family and it was lovely to be able to finally introduce our beautiful boy to everyone. It was also lovely to be amongst fantastic friends and family and catch up with lots of special people and meet some new editions. (it had been 4 years since my last visit - far too long!). Speaking of special people, Granny Margaret was one of the main reasons for our visit and it was great to finally introduce Mack to his 'Oz Nan'. I had not seen mum since our tragic time together here in the UK last Summer so it was an emotional reunion. Unfortunately our visit coincided with one of Mum's severe depressions so she was having treatment for that whilst we were there and didn't get around to doing alot of of things we had planned to do together. I felt Dad's absence/loss pretty strongly in Adelaide as so many things reminded me of him. I had plenty of 'moments' during the visit and missed him being around. And he never got to meet Mack face to face. After Adelaide we headed to Sydney, where we were rushing around, trying to see everyone we wanted to see and have some family time as well. We had a great time and wished we'd had more time there and will definitely make sure we do next visit!
Here are some pics from our trip, we have a bit of video too but I'm not sure how to put it up on the Blog - any suggestions?
