Brisbane weekend Part 2

All my Babies together Umm wait a minute babies?

How short am I ?

My Baby Brother he is less than 2 years younger than me and a big softy.

The God Parents from left Loren Ben holding Monique Kiara being held by Bones and Tenniele on the end and out of the way where she should be. Did I just say that that was a little harsh NOT!! Lets just say because I am a calmer nicer and not so angry at past indiscretions mind you a curt hello and goodbye was enough for me forgiven not forgotten but I refuse to be a hypocrite.

Danny and Kyle I remember when Ky was scared of Uncle Dan cause he was so big it didn't take long for the tables to turn. Its great seeing similarities. I didn't have that until I was 21 so I love the whole family resemblance thing 16 years ago they filled the void I had always felt and I feel blessed at how it all turned out its as if I have been a part of their lives since Birth.

My favourite little cousin Dennis he is a sweetie and has always been very generous with his affection towards me. He was 5 when we met so for him I have always been there and I think he and Kyle are very similar also. I must say there temperament and being affectionate are there best traits cause I'm a huge Hugger and kisser. I will be the old aunt they dread at parties with forehead kissing and cheek pinching.

Well I started at 6am Sunday morning after only getting a few hours sleep (you can kinda tell in the pictures I'm a little drained) Anyway I was up went and got the girls from down the road at &am and we were all ready and driving to pick up Danicka by 8am then Kyle by 8.45 and to the church by 9.15.

Phew I am ready for bed at this point but when all the family started arriving and seeing them all after a few years I was awake and happy. The actual service went well except maybe for me. I have mentioned before I laugh at inappropriate moments well yes I rose to the occasion when the Chinese Priest said "God Bress Wu" I'm sorry but it was really funny and I started a line of giggles with Ben squeezing my hand a little firmer than normal and I got the grunt. LOL His indiscreet way of saying to shut up. I tried I swear I did but Loren was laughing Tayla was laughing son, brother and eldest daughter cringing at the sounds escaping my mouth that was tightly covered with my hand by now. They were behind me and every time I snorted I would get a giggle or a kick in the ass from behind which was no help to me what so ever. I finally contained myself and the service was just over when my brother whispered in my ear from behind "God Bress wu Sista" I lost it, a high pitched squeal escaped my mouth followed by a snort and an uncontrollable hysterical laugh to which all eyes were on me Buggar exit stage left, quick smart and in a hurry. We then went to the local Tavern for nibbles drinks and lunch the place was full of laughter reminiscing and catching up on the latest news and seeing how much the kids have grown.

We left there at 3.30pm yes a very long day but extremely enjoyable. I was to drive home that night so Ben was warned but everyone went to Kels (sis) just for a while as the party ended up there. He gave me that baby but oh just a little longer ill b good look and I succumbed. I dropped him off then I went and dropped Tayla off at her friends picked my Bella (dog) up from Danas and made it back to kels before dark. Everyone was very merry and having fun. The hiding of Ben behind my brother and Dan starting with the slurred come on sis no yet, come on a little longer spiel. I gave the yer gonna get it look and went and made another cup of tea and gave them an Hour and that was to be it I still had an hours drive in front of me.

Well in the mean time I had been getting text messages and phone calls from 2 friends of mine who shall remain nameless due to the privacy act. They wanted me to meet them in the Valley for Italian festival and were trying to coax me all day with pictures of fun and joy, you have to love multimedia. It had turned cold and I was getting croaky my ear was aching and I was tired so Ben got the last drink call much to every-ones disappointment and they were arguing about sleeping over when my phone rang. Now as I have said I am one of those friends you call when your in need of anything I love to be need so I am very versatile a shoulder to cry on, letters, researching, fun, laughs, cooking, driving, fighting or bailing you out of jail, most of these I can still do. If my friends call and say they need me though there is nothing that will stop me.

I would have to be dead not to show up and I wasn't dead.

SOooooo back to the phone call that led me to not getting to bed until 1am Monday morning, catching a chill while trying to break into a house for an hour, searching for a nikko pen to brand my better half with cuss words on his head and to still being at my sisters Monday morning with swollen hands, eyes and no voice and still an hours drive ahead of me instead of home in bed with my new electric blanket waking up at home thinking of what to have for breakfast.

That will have to wait until tomorrow.

Peace and Health To All XXXX
