My sister left yesterday and I cried all the way home from the airport!
It was so nice to have her here for a whole month. Now it’s to time to start saving for a trip to Australia. I need to see her new apartment!
It has been ten years since we had Christmas together. It was a lot of fun to shop together, wrap gifts together and cook together. We dreamed about all the things we would do if we lived close to each other. I know it’s cruel to do that - but it’s hard not to.
I am truly blessed to have a sister. I wish everyone could have one like her.
Today the kids and I got most of the Christmas decorations packed up. They miss their Aunty and Uncle too. I’m so grateful for the phone and the internet - it makes my family seem a little closer.
It definitely feels like time to get back to school work and a routine of some sort. We have had two months of company - which was great - but we are a little behind on our schooling. I have been staying up late and slacking in many areas.
It really is not too bad. We don’t get to spend time with our Australian family very often, so we needed to make the most of it.
I can’t wait to go to Australia and do some field trips with the kids. Last time we visited a wildlife park where you can feed the kangaroos and pat a koala. My son was only a few months old at the time - so he needs to go again 
Until next time....
