Counting down to our ONE country holiday! Should be awesome but. Can't wait to see you guys in person. Give JOnesy a kiss for us. LOve ya lots. The kids are going well, growing and changing everyday as kids do. State of Origin tonight so we are about to put the little darlings to bed so we can sit and yell at the tv in peace. Keep safe and keep having lotsa fun. You both look happy and healthy and still gorgeous (was hoping you would both get fat.......... ha ha ha ha). Anyhoo, that bottle of rum is ageing nicely, there's been a few nights when we have run out of grog and looked at it, lucky we don't drink rum (not true alcoholics yet, but working on it as often as possible). Catch ya later guys, love to you both from us four xoooooxxxxxxxxoooox
