FRIENDS

Holly and Kimberly are HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

This visit came at a much needed time. Now I know that I have seemingly had visitors the last two months, but this weekend I hit such a lonely spot. Lonliness will never kill you but it sure isn't fun. On Saturday I was home all day with a sick bubbs. The weather has been YUCK the last week so I haven't been able to take Max out on a walk which means Max hasn't taken Momma out on a walk which seems to be more how the story really goes :) I got through my Saturday with a few tears, texts to America and a VERY supportive husband that went over and above even though he worked 11 hours that day!

When I picked the girls up from the airport I saw them walk out and couldn't stop crying. Sam's response was "of course." :) It was so good to have the familiar with me in my town. The weather has been yuck so far, but the girls have been wonderful! Max loves them and they are such a big help to me. Their goal is to take LOTS of pictures so that means I will take them too!! WOO HOO!!!

My plan was to take a picture when they came out at the airport but...well...too many tears stopped that so here is right when we got back to the Mount and the next day or two!

Sam was working so Max and I took the girls on a walk to Pilot Bay. It was SO windy but still so fun to show them.

I had to take a better picture where you can see Max's feet not even hitting the ground. The little turkey loves this and LOVES walking with our help to us. UGH! I can't believe this kiddo is already trying to walk. He almost grabbed for a toy yesterday in the midst of trying to walk!!

Kimberly's Mom sent the CUTEST clothes for Max! I quickly washed the cute jammies she sent and put him in them that night!!

The next day we went on a walk to the beach while Sam watched Max. It was still cold and windy but SUPER fun. There is a Lifeguard competition on this whole week so we sat and watched that for a bit and just enjoyed hanging out by the ocean

Holly loves playing with Max in his little car/walker and Max loves the attention. I think he was missing ALL the people from Australia so this is a welcome gift to him to have so many people around

Holly and Kimberly of course had to have coffee :) I took this picture and put it on the blog for my mom especially! This was the cafe that her and my dad went to every day!

Pretty sure Max is LOVING life with the girls here!! He constantly is moving (as you can tell from the blurry little Max in this picture) and smiling at the girls!

Our friend Trisha also sent us the COOLEST clothes and a great painting that she did especially for us that signifies HOPE! It was much needed for me this week as God was challenging me to higher levels of trusting and hope. Thanks TRISHA!!

Unfortunately the Mount has been closed since the girls got here :( The weather was so bad on Friday night that there were mudslides off the mount. I hope it opens up before the go so they can at least get one walk around it. Though they have other fun and exciting things they want to do...look for bungee jump pictures in the near future!!!!
