T2

I finally got to meet Christina's friend Jutta at T2 today.

Carol's Birthday

Me and Bryan
Bryan, Tara and their two little girls stayed with us this weekend. They are down from the Central Coast where they will plant a Calvary Chapel in two weeks.

Not only is it Carol's birthday tomorrow, but it is also her and Joel's 12th wedding anniversary. Their request tonight was for an ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins.

Danielle and Paul are moving here from California to help Bryan and Tara with the church plant. Welcome to Australia mates!

Pete and Fiona's Wedding

We met Pete and Fi almost FOUR years ago and have been waiting for this day ever since.

Fi and her daddy

I love this photo of Jonathon and Peter. You both are adorable!

RMH Lunch Date

Me, Simone, Kelly and one very cheeky cook at Lake Parramatta Cafe.

Picnic with Calvary Chapel Newcastle

We drove two hours up the coast to visit our friends at Calvary Chapel Newcastle. As it turned out, their fellowship was having a church picnic which we crashed.

My buddy Kai. Isn't he adorable?

Jam Session

Joel and Jonathon yanked out the guitars after Bible study tonight. I hope they do it again soon. I love to hear them play.

Max Brenner

We went for a drive to St. Ives today to have a treat at the famous Max Brenner.

Brownie for me


Chocolate dipped strawberries for Jonathon

Eden's Baby Blanket

I finished crocheting Eden's baby blanket tonight. I think I will hang it on the wall in our bedroom. OH, HOW I MISS YOU BABY GIRL! I wish I could wrap your sweet, chubby eight month-old body in it.

Lunch with Norm

Norm and I lunched at David Jones today. I think we found a new hangout.

Lunch with Pam & Marcus

Marcus and Pam met me for lunch today.

It has been too long since we have seen one another.

It's been WAY too long since I got to hold Marcus. It is so much fun to see his personality develop. What a charmer.

Bagels

We haven't been on a bagel run in months! There are very few things that will get me out of bed, into the shower and out the door BEFORE brekkie, but bagels is certainly one of them.

Mmmmm, mmmmm, good!

Fiona's Kitchen Tea

I received an invitation in the mail to come to Fiona's Kitchen Tea. I had to ring her and find out what on earth that meant. It is the equivalent of a bridal shower but everyone brings a kitchen-themed gift. Clever, eh? Isn't she the most beautiful bride-to-be? We love you Fi! xoxo

Sunflowers

Janette brought me this HUGE bouquet of sunflowers a few days ago. Despite them starting to droop, it is impossible to look at them and not feel happy. They are like enormous sunbeams warming my face each morning. Thanks Janette for helping me through this valley.
