We all headed up to Katoomba for lunch with Honor, Luke and her parents Biddy and Hop who were over for a visit. I hadn't seen Honor's dad since school so it was lovely to catch up and share some tales over some good food.

Luke taught La a wonderful game of table slapping which has us cursing him from afar whenever she starts up - revenge will be sweet Mr Luke.
Lou and Toby chilling out after lunch.
Obviously what I am saying is utterly enthralling - look alive guys! Lou went home the next day and La was terribly upset to see her go - she's currently under negotiations to defect camp the little traitor!

Laura and Toby came to Sydney to visit for a week of shopping, shopping and more shopping. No, not really that much but we certainly made the most of the shopping facilities in between gym visits and abandoning the children at every opportunity. Lucky Sami didn't mind being left at home with the babies wonder Dad that he is...

Toby is telling La exactly how it is...
...mind, when she's had enough the bigger hand always wins.
Reading stories before bed with Uncle Sami.
Very enthusiastic affection from La when she felt like it - most of the time she restrained herself - Toby didn't come away with many bruises.
La being a card.
Laying outside on the blanket - it was an all-in-cuddle fest.

Not too far from our place is a bird shop and fish farm. Haven't anything to show for visiting the birds other than there were lots of them and it was a good little excursion but on the day the fish won hands down - a nice Sunday afternoon out.

Feeding the fish.
Who can resist this face?!?
Koi I think is their name - not the most attractive looking things really...
La finding the last of the fish food to throw in - nearly included herself in the food category at times - 1 year olds and water - not always the best mix!
Breakfast at Relle's.
