Sour and Sweet

::Sour::

Sick babes, babes with fevers, babes coughing and vomiting, babes waking relentlessly through the night, but worst of all, all of this looking like getting in the way of a very special celebration.

::Sweet::

The fog lifting, temperatures restored to normal, and a five-star hotel room booked at the very last minute.

::Sour::

A little girl crying as we dropped her and her sisters at the grandparents' house - "I don't want you to go."

::Sweet:: 

Five seconds later, skipping down the street, sans children, to catch a train into the city.

Checking into our lovely hotel room. 

Knitting. In bed. Whilst watching 'Downton Abbey' on DVD. In the afternoon!!!

Dinner at an amazing Malaysian restaurant in Chinatown.

Realising, with a brief swoon of romance, the synchronicity - we'd honeymooned in Malaysia. Awwww.

::Sour::

Waking at 6:30am all of our own accord, without any assistance from small people.

::Sweet::

Breakfast buffet.

::Sour::

Checkout.

::Sweet::

The reunion.

The reunion.

"I missed you, Mama. Did you have a nice university?"

Weren't we cute back then? Look how young we are, and how well-rested. Happy 'university', my love xx
