How are you all feeling friends? I slash every member of our family is absolutely exhausted and we cannot wait until Wednesday when the school year ends. We’ve got my sister and her family arriving from Melbourne tomorrow that we are so excited about (we haven’t seen them since Easter last year!) and then we head to the beach on Friday for a huge family catch up.
