We had lunch with Dad and Mum - and was finally able to get some photos of our Rosa with Grandpa (previously she just simply squirmed too much!). I think she might just enjoy these when she is older. Grandpa will not get to see our little ones growing up.
We joined some beautiful friends from Church for Pancakes in the park early on Saturday morning. It was so good to catch up again. We especially enjoyed your pancake flip Dominick (thanks for photos Wendy - must say you caught the moment well!) We are very impressed Dominick (I can see Josh trying this now:)
We have recently had a second hand cubby put up in our back yard. David and I spent a few mornings (getting up early) painting to prepare it. It is looking great. We had it built up high to make storage underneath for bikes, etc. We decided to invite some friends over to come and enjoy the cubby with our kids. On Saturday our friend Levi came and had a play inside while I was able to have a lovely chat with my friend Susan on the front verandah of the cubby house. Unfortunately I forgot to pull the camera out while they were here...
On Sunday we had a lovely family from Sudan come for lunch. We actually got to know the father through Joshua's friendly "hello" from the front window! It was good to get to know our neighbours a little bit more. Their boys have been coming along to our little church from time to time. Their boys jumped around and had some good old fashioned rough and tumble with Josh on the tramp. They found the cubby a great jumping platform for their stunts while the Dad's joined in with a few rib ticklings from time to time.
David spent some time over the weekend helping his Mum sort out some of Dad's work tools. A friend is planning to come and buy some for his business. David came home feeling somewhat saddened (to be losing Dad) but blessed by thinking of all the hard years his father had put into working in his business to support him growing up...
Well it has been a weekend of many mixed feelings and emotions - feelings of sadness mingled with the joy of friendship.
