Family in Victoria

We were fortunate enough to spend time with our family who live in Victoria. Aunty Helen is actually my Mum's Aunty but I have always thought of her as my Aunty too as I have spent a fair amount of time with her over the years. Aunty Helen & Uncle Jim have three beautiful daughters: Jane, Julie & Carolyn. Most of them now live in Wangaratta with their respective families but Jane still lives in Melbourne with her daughter Shardia. They really are a beautiful family and it is always emotional for me and Mum saying goodbye to Aunty Helen & Uncle Jim (Jimbo as Noah calls him).

Noah & Shardia

Beautiful Shardia. Richard and I didn't actually get to see Jane or Shardia this time. Mum and Noah went out to dinner with them while in Melbourne. I have a beautiful picture of the kids with Jane too but I can't find it right now :(

Mum & I holding the latest additions to the Hancock family. These are Carolyn & Stephen's precious baby girls. They were nearly 4 weeks old in these photos. I have Charli and Mum is holding Holly.

Beautiful Carolyn and again me holding Charli. She looked so good for someone who delivered twins only 4 weeks ago.

Carolyn opening her gifts that came all the way from WA. She absolutely loved the jewellery boxes for her girls.

Uncle Jim with tiny Holly.

The washing line full to the brim with little girl clothes.

Carolyn & Stephen's house.

Julie & Gerard's house. In this house lives 5 teenagers + an 11 year old. Julie & Gerard both had children from previous marriages so when they married last year they became a real-life Brady bunch family.

This is Mats, he is Julie's youngest child and he is absolutely adorable. I want him to come live with me or at least come visit some time!

Noah eating Pizza with Mats & Anders. Julie & Gerard in the background.

Madison & Mats. Julie's 3 kids were the most loveliest teenagers I have ever met. If Noah grows up to be half as gorgeous, polite, mature and intelligent as them then I will be a very proud Mum.

Jimbo & Aunty Helen with Noah.

A special time for Mum and I. We will treasure these photo for years to come.
