A memorable week with newlyweds

SHE turns 4

She was born during a FIFA World Cup (how can i forget Daddy watching 3 games that night while I played a very different game!) so of course every 4 years, the whole planet celebrates with her. Once more, for numerous reasons, i decided not to celebrate the event this year. And on this very quiet day, what do we wake up to: Australia has a new first ever female Prime Minister. Politics aside, this was a bit of history here. And of course, Uncle Lessan and Melissa (both of whom are right at the top of her list of 'Favourite People apart from parents') were here visiting. To top it off, there was a lovely family dinner that night at Mondona's beautiful home,  partly to celebrate my grandma's birthday (little did i know). So the VERY youngest and oldest members of the family got to share a birthday! Notice how the very oldest is not at all comfortable with the attention, bless her, as opposed to the very youngest who can't get enough of it! An amazingly happy and content little girl went to bed that night (no mummy, don't carry me, I'm a big girl now).

Newly weds

Very happy for Lessan and Melissa. Their big day was 12th June 2010 in Perth. We also had a reception for them here in Adelaide a few days ago. Lets just say things have been rather hectic around these parts lately. They're visiting Adelaide at the moment and I'm enjoying every minute I get to spend with the happy couple, because I wont get to see them for another 18mths when they go back to Haifa where they're both serving at the Baha'i World Centre. They're both very much in love and its just the sweetest thing  seeing them together, getting used to the idea of my shy little brother now all mawwied and grown up (sniff, sniff)...
Pictures of wedding are mostly on facebook:
