One night in Sydney

I had a big night last night, but a great night all the same. My sister and brother-in-law and my 16 month old niece had a wedding to go to in Port Macquarie, so they flew into Sydney last night from Darwin, on their way, and came to stay. It was great to see them and just so wonderful to see little Annie at the very endearing age she's at. Because she'd been cooped up in a plane for so long she was on a little mission when they first got to my place to walk and explore every square inch of it and just keep on walking (this just made me laugh because she looked too small to be able to do that!) so she wasn't at her most snuggly, but I got one or two cuddles in. The only problem was that they didn't get to my house until almost 10 pm, and then needed to leave again at 7 am, so it was all too brief, and as you can imagine we were up late and up early. Annie also cried, very briefly, at 2 am because she woke up and startled herself, so I am just running on caffeine today.

I had half feared (and maybe hoped, just a teeny bit) that I might get my nephew right here in Sydney because my sister is doing all of this at 35 weeks pregnant, but baby stayed where he(?) was, which is the best place for him.
