We arrived home in Sydney on the morning of 28th August. Glennīs amazing Dad fought so hard for us and we made it home in time to say our goodbyes before he passed away that afternoon.

As you can imagine, this has been a very hard time for both of us, and we have only got through it due to the amazing strength, support and love of our families and our beautiful friends.

We have truely cherished our time at home, and although it has been incredibly sad, we have experienced some really beautiful moments as well, including:

- Meeting our niece Emily for the first time. We are truely besotted and are already missing her cuddles Christie With Twin No.2 (1)

 .

- Playing with our niece Madison, and hearing her call us Uncle Glenn and Aunty Christie for the first time (okay, Gwen & Chrissie, but close enough for us).

- Being in the country while Christieīs cousin Matthew and his wife Cindy welcomed their twin boys, Aidan and Sean, into the world. We are actually looking forward to the baby sitting guys!

- Being there for Christieīs cousin Erin and her fiance James engagement celebrations, and being able to share in the enjoyment of our engagement with everyone as well.

We were so glad to be soaking up all of this time at home, but we also realised that we had a dream that wasnīt complete, and it wasnīt only our dream, but Glennīs Dadīs dream too - to finish our travels. Just the thought of Dadīs excitement at all of our travel stories was enough to stir the drive in us to keep going.

So we are off again to South America, after almost a month back at home. Let the adventure continue!
