Welcoming the Aussie grandparents

We made some final preparations during our last few weeks as a family of three, before welcoming Mum and Dad in the last week of January. They arrived a week before the twins were due, which was brilliant. Margaux could have some time to relax with them, they could all make some special memories together, and we could generally all settle in to the start of 7 weeks (!) of consecutive guests. Mum and Dad stayed for four weeks, and then Rita and Jean-Paul for three.

We also welcomed Mala into our family at this time. Mala is our live-in helper from Sri Lanka and we honestly couldn't function without her these days.
