Weekends Aren't Long Enough...

Sunday evening has come round and it's been a relaxing weekend. Steve has a sexy voice these days. He's come down with a sore throat, cough and croaky voice but this didn't stop us catching up with friends and having a jolly good time.

We had Sunday lunch in Williamstown with Karly, Cam, Karly's mum Nicky and Baby Indy. Indy was on her best behaviour as she slept throughout and didn't stir even when I rudely picked her up out the pram for cuddles.

Ling and Noah came for dinner on Saturday evening and Steve and i enjoyed spending the afternoon preparing food for them. We decided to do family style Chinese cooking which is quite a lot of work as it means several dishes but we enjoyed it and they were very complimentary.

After dinner Ling and I had girltalk and she tried on my different sunglasses...

Steve and I spent the morning shopping for ingredients and the afternoon prepping. We steamed a Barramundi Asian style. Poor fishy! Had to cut off its tail to fit in my steamer! We also made braised beef short ribs with daikon and Chinese mushrooms and for veggies had a fresh cucumber and cashew nut salad.

I am still missing home and wishing I could go back to see this little princess. At the moment we think we'll be back in March for three weeks but that seems ages away and Amelia is growing and changing every day.

Every morning I reach for my phone to see if I-Lin has sent me any more photos or videos. Steve and I lie in bed going through the photos again and again and watching the videos repeatedly!

This morning I woke at 6am, had a look at my phone and watched a new video of Amelia crying loudly wanting her dinner. I played it next to Steve's head on loud so he could experience what it's like to have a baby cry at inopportune moments. As I thought, he didn't like it! So I-Lin and Graeme (with the help of Amelia's grandparents) are doing an incredible job. All you parents out there, you have my respect. It's not something I want to sign up for necessarily but you do it so willingly out of love.
