=(

Yesterday was my last proper day looking after Ashley. Kristian, Lachlan and Reece.
I managed (just) to hold back all the tears.
Lachlan told me he has to live with me next year because my new house is number 5 and that will be his number next year. He kept asking why i wanted to swap houses and is he allowed to swap too.
I asked him what about his mum, and he simply replied, "you can be my mum" and when asked what about his dad, he asked "Who are your friends?" I listed a few names and he innocently asked "Can Terry be my dad?"
(if only it were that easy) this conversation made me tear up  I truly wish i could pack him up and take him with me, temper tantrums, bossiness and all.

I took lots and lots of photos, at which Lachie said "Don't you have enough yet Emma?" I could never have enough of you baby ever. =D
t will be hard not seeing the boys weekly. I'm going to miss them terribly.

Ava

This should have been posted weeks ago, but i haven't blogged for ages.
August the 22nd should have been Ava Rosemeyer's 6th birthday, but she is forever frozen in time and memory as a 3 year old.
This year is different however, Sheye Ava's mum decided to start a perfect tradition that being a tea party being held in Ava's memory each and every year starting now on this day.
She posted her idea on her blog, and people from all over the world took part in celebrating Ava.
The pictures were perfect.
Lachie and I held a tea Party for Ava, with Boots being our guest of honour. We ate chocolate cupcakes, since Lachie insisted they were Ava's favourite, chocolate dipped strawberries and strawberry milkshakes.
Lachie told me he wishes Ava could have shared the cupcakes and strawberries, and wanted to save one for when he sees her.
