Jessica's GREAT Grandmother

My Mum visited us for a little while today, before I dropped her off at the airport (she lives in Sydney). It was particularly great that she was able to spend some time with Jessica, as her work schedule has meant that she couldn't come down to meet Jessica until this weekend.

The two of them get along great, of course, which is no surprise to anyone who has met my Mum (she has that effect on people - especially the small ones!), and I think the admiration was pretty mutual. We got some lovely photos today, including these:



Mum/"Granny" also gave us some great and unexpected news: that she'll take her Victorian home off the rental market, resign from her current job in Sydney tomorrow, and move back to Melbourne once she's served out her notice. We're thrilled by the news (for SO many reasons), and we know that it took a lot of courage and faith to make the decision (moving is a daunting prospect, especially without a new job to move into). Good on you, Mum, we're really proud of you! Oh, and Jessica wanted me to tell you that she's really looking forward to some more cuddles very soon (though I expect she'll need to get in line behind all of her cousins).
