My beautiful family

Well here I am at last! since my last post I have been in MOB mode (Mother of the Bride) what an amazing experience that was.... going to Melbourne wedding dress shopping, three times, back to Melbourne bridesmaid dress shopping, twice.... actually all those trips happened last year.... but we had to get my dress and a new suit for the FOB... another two trips to Melbourne, in between a few days away on the boat in Feb, a road trip to Adelaide in March, more boating over Easter, then it was time for the big day.... so over we fly to New Zealand, all 25 family and friends for five days for Victoria's wedding...
Beautiful happy bride...

    very happy bride....   

very very Happy bride and groom.......

The wedding was in Queenstown, New Zealand, at Jack's Point, which has a beautiful golf club at the foot of the Remarkables mountain range....

We could not have chosen a better place to celebrate Victoria and Karl's wedding, the weather was picture perfect, the wine and food were outstanding and the staff at Jack's Point were fabulous....

the bridesmaids were gorgeous, Vic's girlfriend, Jade on the left and sister Kate .....

how beautiful is my baby girl....

some last minute advice from the celebrant to Karl and his bestman and groomsman, Nick and Nick.....

 and two little cuties who did a perfect job on the day... Karl's niece and nephew, Ruby and Jackson.....

the father of the bride was pretty happy as well.....

the mother of the bride was pretty happy too.....

now the next big happening in our family is these two... Daniel (son) and Helen (his partner, no wedding bells yet) are expecting their first baby in July, we are all so excited, this will be our first grandchild, although Helen has two sons from a previous relationship, Jack and Josh who are 9 & 10 who we regard as grandies as well.... so I'm in baby mode now, I will have some progress pics soon......
