43 Weeks and More Grandparents!

Well, after a huge amount of drama, Carmen's grandparents and her great grandfather finally arrived!  They had  given us money to buy them a second hand car for their trip, and Jeffrey has been driving it for a couple of months, with no problems (except for an AWESOME Michael Jackson cd stuck in the stereo).  Well, on Jeff's way up to Sydney to pick them up, the car broke down.  He was stranded on the highway until he was rescued by my lovely stepfather.  But the grandparents were on the plane and we had no way of telling them Jeff wouldn't be at the airport.  And did you know that it is against airport security to page anyone at the airport?  So there was no way of letting them know once they got off the plane either!  Talk about stressful!  But they finally made it down here on the train, but now they have no car!  We are making do sharing cars for now.  It is wonderful to see them.  It is lovely to see Carmen with them, and we realise how lucky she is to get to meet her great grandfather Dale, who is 90 years old.  The next few weeks are going to be busy ones!
