Sydney Trip

Do I have some photos for you!! Paul, Jasper and I just arrived home from Sydney, NSW this afternoon.. we went there for Paul's younger brothers wedding.
This first photo was taken in Matt and Christine's house (that is Paul's brother and his wife). Jasper just loved their dog - Coco. She took a while to warm up to us, but it was not long before she was all over Jas and loving the attention (for the most part!)



Here are three of the brothers and their babies - from left to right there is Paul and Jasper, Shaune and Indiana, and Matt and Jai.
It is the first time we have met Jai and Indiana, so there were a few photos taken of them!

This is Jasper, Paul and I just before we left for the wedding. Paul was a groomsman and looked really handsome! The tie and kerchief matched the bridesmaid dresses. It was a gorgeous colour.

This is in the church (it was a Catholic wedding). Left to right - Shaune (best man), Michael (brother), Kerry (Shaune and Matt's mum), Matt, Alan (father to all 4 boys), and Paul. It was really nice that Matt had asked his 3 brothers to be his groomsmen. They don't look alike, but they are brothers!

Here is my handsome man. He took over the camera for most of the rest of the day and night. Who could say no to a photo from this face?



Here is a Jasper shot - Christine's dress was amazingly beautiful. Her grandmother and mother made it for her. Amazing.

Here are the boys and Christine outside the church.

Jasper and his Poppy Miles. Jas does not get to see this Poppy very often as he lives on the other side of Australia, but it does not take him too long to get up for a snuggle, and you can just see how much his poppy loves him!



Here is Jas with one of the pretty ladies he took a shine to! This is Sally and she is Shaune's girlfriend (and Indiana's mum). Jasper took about 47 photos of her, and they even had a dance together.


The beautiful bride with her beautiful baby! (photo by Jasper)

My boy and I on the dance floor - until someone better came along for him to dance with!!


... like his dad!!!

more snuggle time with Poppy.



The day after... it was really hot on the Sunday, so when Matt and Christine got home, the boys went for a swim. It was a nice way to cool off!

Jasper and Paul saying goodbye to Nanna Kerry (Shaune and Matt's mum).


I could not resist taking this shot.. We had gone to Paul and Matt's dad's place and the boys were both leaning against the car with their arms crossed.. it was so funny!


Paul and his dad.

This shot was too cute to not include. This is when we got home from the wedding and I put Jasper to bed. He was asleep in the car and barely moved when I carried him into the house. He was sleeping in Jai's room, and Jai was with his Nonna. Jasper decided that rather than taking the cot mattress out and putting it on the floor to sleep on, he would sleep in Jai's cot!!!
Oh, the benefits of being 14kg at 5 1/2!!! This is one that we will have to put up at his 21st!!

We had a great time and really enjoyed every minute we were there. Another good thing that happened on the way home was getting upgraded to business class!!
We had a few very late nights and early mornings, so are ready for bed NOW, and it is only 7.20pm!!

Thanks for reading, and will post again soon.
