We're Here!!!

Yes, the Lilies and I are here in England, and are very happy to be here. We were met by my brother with huge hugs for all, who I am sure that my Lilies thought drove like a speed demon, for after a bumpy flight and a being knocked about in the car, my youngest Lily complained about an upset tummy in the backseat.

At the house we were greeted with more smiles and hugs from my sister, who quickly enveloped my Lilies in her arms. My youngest Lily held onto her aunt for a long time and kisses were shared by all, as the cases were brought in.

Though the Lilies were happy to see their aunt, and after only two hours sleep the playground outside was beckoning them to come and play, and off they went to the new swings and activity table out back.

My Lilies are enjoying their time with their aunts, uncles and cousins, they are being blessed especially by my sister, as she has been lavishing her love and time on them in a very special way. As for myself, I have been enjoying my visits with family and old friends who have dropped by, the laughter and the stories we have shared have been amazing.

A late night, and lack of sleep, we entered beds of fluffy white clouds and our sleep was deep, sound and sweet, so much so that we could not get in to church on Sunday morning. Though my oldest Lily was up earlier than expected, she soon walked slowly up the stairs and threw herself back into her bed and under the covers. My youngest, could barely get out of bed, it was 1 p.m before she emerged and that at my prompting.

It's early days yet but plans are underway for our trip to Paris, we are all still excited and can hardly wait for our trip to begin.
