Well we are back in steamy Broome and its great to be a family together again, Shaun is delighted with Jb's progress and how she's grown up. I am also very grateful to see how much work Shaun has done around the house, the decks have been polished and the front garden has been worked on (just to mention a few things). It was , however, quite sad to leave particularly when family are unwell. I really wish we weren't so far from Grandma during her recovery from her stroke, I loved seeing how she perked up when her young name sake entered her room at Joondaup Hospital . I look forward to seeing her in January and am sure she will be regaining more and more of her speech by the day.
Back tracking, the night before we left, Mum and Dad took Jb and I to a lovely restaurant at the end of the street , Juniper Bay it was surprisingly very impressive and Miss J behaved brilliantly. I can't thank you enough Mum and Dad for being wonderful hosts and supports - I am a lot stronger and well rested because of all your help over the last two months.
Little Miss Red was the best she had ever been on our flight back home, only negative was she was wide awake for the majority of the flight which meant I had to do my best clown impersonations and entertain her for most the flight. Poor little girl finally drifted off to sleep for 30 minutes and the crew then announced we were about to descend so i had to wake her up to put her in her kid seat belt, that was the only time she got grizzly, A nice story was a particular stewardess took us under her wing and arranged for us to have two seats so Jb wouldn't get bumped and gave us lors of extra pillows which put a protective mum's mind at ease. We also swapped stories about PMH , she explained that as a little girl she had to stay for numerous months, such a lovely lady, really appreciated her caring nature.
Since returning home, Jb and her Dad have wasted no time getting reacquainted and they have been having a blast,. Joanie loves it when her Daddy picks her up and she locks on and doesn't let him put her down! They have already started their daily bush walks and she has had her first meal of Mangrove Jack ( see before and after photos) on Monday, she loved it!
Another great news flash is that Joanie had her first all night sleep (Sunday night) since before her Operation and she has been continuing to have her day naps!
What gorgeous photos. I am sure there wasn't a dry eye at the airport. Love the names Ju Ju and Gg; it is like you have your own special language!
