Saying our final good bye to Setsuna

We burried our special bunny Setsuna today and she is missed, and so in the ANZAC spirit these words ring true:

We will remember her

Lest we forget

Setsuna

 We were so very lucky to all be there before and as our wonderful bunny Setsuna died yesterday. We all got to hold her and say good bye to her as she died in SV's arms. She could feel all of our love for her as we all spoke to her. It was a comfort to know she did not suffer. It was very emotional but we all got to be there together and support each other through it. She was a truly special bunny that was a companion to all of us and truly a member of our family. She will be missed but not forgotten. 

Checkers with friends

 TV's good friend Eric came over and his kids played games together. We haven't seen Eric for quite some time and his kids even longer. So it was really great that our kids got to meet his and they got along well. EV really enjoyed playing checkers and even managed to win a match.

Swimming and games with the cousins

 Uncle Mark and his family met us at Grandma Cece's house and the cousins all got to have some fun together. They definitely went swimming since it was such a hot day. There were a lot of games getting played as well as Uncle Mark taught us some new ones to play.

Making breaky

 EV was at Grandma Cece's house and was making breakfast. She has really come to enjoy dragon fruit and so that was a nice start. Pancakes with all the treats are also a good options, particularly since she doesn't get them too often.

Time with friends

 The summer is a bit short because of travel we have on this summer. So we are making the most of the time off by inviting friends over for a play and a swim. They all played really nicely together and had a blast. The only down side was that it was hard to say good bye at the end.

Picking fruit

 We were asked to help pick fruit for our friends the Rosses and we jumped at the opportunity. They have a delicious plum and even better fig tree. Since the timing worked we were very glad to help pick, clean and freeze the fruit so that they could make jam from it later in the year. The girls had a good time picking fruit and having a couple of samples. In the end we managed to fill just about the entire freezer with clean fruit.
