Christmas with Uncle Jim: Part 3 (Returning home and farewell)

We returned home via a spectacular canyon and unbelievable lookouts at Jebel Shams.We were all awestruck by the place - and found it surprisingly chilly up on the bluff! James went for a run up the escarpment, from which he called, "Coo-ee!" - which became his moniker for the rest of his stay and now Margaux only refers to him by that name!

I was feeling - and I believe looking - pretty darn pregnant by this stage... the silhouette shot was an attempt at capturing it but I don't feel it has done it justice. Apparently I was small for twins throughout my pregnancy, but that was certainly enough for me!

The final few days with James were spent at home and in the local environs. James headed off to Australia on the 29th December and we prepared ourselves for a very early New Year's Eve - although it did mark 5 years since our Australian wedding!
