Photo Jeremy Piper Source: News Limited THEIR world has changed but the nation's new First Family was trying to retain some normality yesterday with an early morning grocery shopping trip. Hours after watching her husband elected Prime Minister, a casually dressed Margie Abbott returned to the family's Forestville (15km northeast of Sydney's CBD) home with supplies. She said the family was delighted for Mr Abbott and she had given herself 24 hours to come to terms with how their lives would now change. As First Lady she is likely to advocate for children in need but she was focused on spending time yesterday with her daughters. Bridget Abbott, 20, tweeted after her father's victory: "I'm am officially the proudest daughter in the world! Congratulations @TonyAbbottMHR, you deserve it dad xx. The Abbotts were planning a quiet night Sunday as they spent rare time together before eldest daughter Louise and her boyfriend Stefano fly back to their base in Switzerland this week. Louise Abbott, 24, returned to Sydney on Father's Day to spend two weeks at home supporting Mr Abbott. The Abbotts have confirmed they will accept an invitation from outgoing Prime Minister Kevin Rudd for a welcome at The Lodge. Previous leaders have followed tradition by offering the new Prime Minister a tour of the official residence in Canberra. Paul Keating invited John Howard over in 1996 and Mr Howard and his wife Janette hosted Mr Rudd and his wife Therese Rein for afternoon tea in 2007. The Abbotts and Rudds are expected to meet at The Lodge later this week or early next week. Mrs Abbott shed tears of pride as she watched her husband meet voters at a polling booth on Sunday.
