04 April 2026 - Aunt Eky's Birthday

Image
I have the good fortune of having two amazing sisters. And you both of having two amazing Aunties! Your grandparents initially had 4 kids in 4 years. Then there was a hiatus of over 5 years. And then, the magical surprise of Aunt Ekraam (aka Eky, and aka Crumpet) was born. We celebrated virtually; as we are not in Australia right now.  She's a special one Aunt Eky. She is loving to all in the family, and her behaviour makes her a great source of pride. Happy Birthday Crumpet! Back here, you two got the gift of a couple of wooden chairs today (sawed out of trees that were, until today, a part of our garden). You also both got marshmallows 😁 💖💖💖 Omran Matar  Dad
