Family party

Since the last post, we’ve kept pretty busy.  I’ve been travelling to Seattle for a week (no photos this time), Karina’s parents (Hans and Lee) came to visist while I was away for a day and my Mum and Dad (Julie and Barry) have been staying with us for the last couple of weeks.Last weekend we had a big family BBQ to catch up with a range of people while Mum and Dad were here, including my cousin Rochelle who has just had a new baby Arabella.  From Mum’s side of the family we had my Uncle Rod & Auntie Gill, Nanny Nic (my Nan) and Rochelle & Steve with Arabella.  From Dad’s side of the family we caught up with Dad’s cousin Peter and his wife Flavia (on the “original” baby web-site there are photos of Queensland – we stayed with Peter and Flavia when we went there), their daughter Peta (who everyone knows as little-Peta) and her husband Chris, Dad’s Auntie Val (Peter Bulls Mum) and my Uncle Lindsay.  I think I’ve remembered everybody!We had a really enjoyable afternoon with a BBQ lunch and as they say, a good time was had by all.
