And Finally, HOME!!!!

I should have updated this earlier, and closed the final chapter, but its been a pretty hectic few days.
We Got home safely, and sweatily.
Garry and Sue organised Cameron, a friend with a Limo company to collect us from the airport, and we were home at 8am.
and it was hot and humid, and lovely.
Tania and Mel were here, the house was perfect, and all is good! Thanks to all who house sat, very very much appreciated.
Unpacking is almost done.
Mark did most of it. I headed down to Mum and Dad, as Mum was having some surgery so Dad and I had some good chatting and some lunch then back home by 5pm.
Today,
Surreal.
Life is back to normal.
Jacob went off to school camp. Hannah to school, and we started tackling various chores, banking, bills, washing, grocery shopping.
It feels as though we have never left!
So thats it.
The Holiday is over.
It was a trip of a life time, never to be forgotten
I think I will find a way or a site to print the blog and pictures off, in a book form, and put it away, for the Kids, incase it gets lost in the Cyber Wilderness somewhere

There's no place like home! (And you don't need ruby slippers to know that.)
Great that you made it back in four healthy pieces, Tashi the Furball was missing the smoked salmon canapes for high tea.
Lovely to catch up on your first night back, though Katja and I noticed a distinct absence of 'Torre die Pazzi Chianti' you spoke so fondly of the past two weeks--- We got the half opened "OzziDanMurphyPlonk"....
How do the FroggyFrench say..."C'est La Bloody Vie"

Welcome home guys..
Doughboy, Over and Out.

OK well I guess this is the end! Don't think we're going to get the pool pics on this blog anyway.. too much happening. I think you lot never stop, home or holiday, go go go.(One of my lasting memories of you guys here is of Jacob, gone into relaxed mode, boardshorts and t shirts then going out the front door with bare feet and realising his boots were next door. He stood on the cold pavement for a few seconds then spoke to himself saying 'OK Jacob go go go..' and ran so fast to next door that he was a blur. For some reason I found that really funny?!) Anyway, must be really nice to be home and very surprised you have adjusted to the temperature change so quickly. I would be melting.. All the best to everyone in Oz, bloggers and all, and think of us up here in the European cold snap still fending off the chills. my last posting. Auntie Sandra xx
