21st January 2009 (Ron and Lauren visit)

Luke, Lauren, James, Sarah, Ron and Amy.

This morning was a bit of a rush trying to tidy the house a bit and get ready for a family BBQ tonight. Ron and Lauren were coming for lunch aswell, I was laughing but really admired Sarah as she waited outside for them for about an hour before they came, she was so excited.
Kids and guests played Wii for most of the time, we ate lunch, the board games came out for a while aswell.
After lunch and a bit of play time Mum, Auntie Linda, Uncle Ian and Ashlee came for the BBQ. Ashlee took straight to Holly and they played great for the rest of the evening, only one arguement over Dora and Boots toys.

Holly and Ashlee.

Tony spent alot of time cleaning the pool but in the end it was a lost cause, our vaccume and pump are piss week for a bigger pool, but Robert tried to save the day and when he visited he came with a new vaccume. Sarah and Amy tried with Ron's help to clean it but we had to stop for karate.
I felt rather guilty running out on the BBQ for karate, but that was the plans. Ron and Lauren came to karate with us, Mum came part way through for a visit. Tony stayed home with James, Holly and our visitors. Also to rest his foot as he hurt it after eating. Might need the dr later.
After karate we had talking and photos then we drove Ron and Lauren home. The girls came with me and were quiet all the way. At home they were sad because they missed Uncle Ron, Sarah is straight back into saving to go and see him again.
