When I got back for the airport having said bye to Liz and Sophie, Erin looked at me with a touch of sadness saying 'I don't know what to look forward to now'. It's true. We've been planning Erin's family coming over here since we got pregnant, and now, those who could make it, have been over.
We hope we've been a good substitute of Matt for Liz and Sophie since he went back to the States.
This seems like a while ago now.
Sophie has missed her dad but forgot about him on her trips to the park.
Liz has been a really useful extra pair of hands.
Sophie helped too.
And it's been a fun insight to what life will be like with a toddler in a few years. Although I don't think I'm going to allow Erin go anywhere near Aidan with nail polish.
It's been two weeks of Dora, PB and Uncle Jay sandwiches (that's peanut butter and jelly to most people), good curry, blowing up a mattress before bedtime, Charlie and Lola; giggles, smiles and a few tears; Dora, crafts; presents and parties; new words and who could forget the legendary karaoke session? There's now a Liz, Sophie and Dora sized hole in our place.

Thanks for everything, guys! It was a fantastic experience to spend some quality time with the three of you.
The only bad thing is how quickly the time flew by!
We will miss all of you very much!
take care and much love,
Uncle Matt
Ellen and Tom will come in the summer! Is that something worth looking forward to?
