Mike had a bit of a late mission at work and so we were horribly late home on our frantic evening. Unfortunately with a deadline at the airport to collect Toby, we had to miss popping in to see Vivienne and John. A neighbour came around while we were scoffing our tea (yummy stir fry - ta Mike) and talked for ages to Mike. But eventually we got out the door and went to the airport. Wee Toby is not really that wee anymore.
Yesterday was an absolutely stunning day here in Wellington. We caught up with Sally and Andrew for lunch int he sun trap and as you can see, we had to sit in the shade. Well, all of us except Sally who works in an ice box and was thawing out before the afternoon's freezing session!
Toby was very pleased to see us. And I was so excited waiting for him to come off the plane. Of course he was last with all the other kids travelling for Christmas so the wait was quite long as the plane emptied out. Home to watch some television with him and then to bed. Mike and I were asleep in seconds.
Mike has a day at home today - he has a half day leave and will look after William and Toby (and William's brother) then swap. Or not. Turns out William's mother is in hospital and the plans are very fluid.
We're also going to Waikanae today to see our friends. Aidan's mother and stepfather are over - well, they arrive today. We're going to watch them both fall asleep in their dinner. And we're up at 3am tomorrow to catch our flight to Sydney. Woo hoo! Can't wait to relax in hot Sydney. Beaches, here I come!
Have a wonderful Christmas. See you in 2013!
Unless the Mayans were right. Hahahah.
Love,
Angela
