We packed up our things and headed off to the airport with a brief stop in Brisbane. We had a good flight home. We were seated in pairs and amazingly enough, Sarah was keen to sit next to James on our return flight too, although we swapped just over midway. We were greeted at the airport by my parents. I felt absolutely exhausted but elated to be home. The weather was beautiful – surprisingly, a big change from the weather we had in Queensland.

When we got home, the girls raced straight out to the fairy garden. It was beautiful. The garden had really blossomed since we left home 10 days ago. It was just such a wonderful place to be and I felt so good to be home. I know that the girls loved being home too. However, it wasn’t long before I realized how much James and I had to do around the house!
