I'm just back from a whirlwind trip to Oz where I was able to see Phil, Kylie and Abbey as well as Mum and Dad. We all met in Melbourne for a couple of days and then all went back to Alice Springs. Mum and Dad stayed in Alice for about 5 days, and I was there for a week.

Abbey played up to her audience and knew how to twist us around her little finger! I got to look after her for awhile when Phil and Kylie were at work one day, which was great.
