Charlotte's Aussie Grandparents came to visit us over the weekend! If any of you did not know, Robby & his brother Steve each spent a year in Australia prior to becoming married men. They raised support & served full time at Riverside Community Church oustside of Brisbane. Graeme & Anita offered up a room in their home for Robby to live in 2003 then Steve took them up on the offer a couple years later. Graeme & Anita are so dear to us for many reasons. They loved the boys like they were their own & sacrificed a quiet home to welcome them among many others over the course of time. They let me stay in an extra room when I came to visit Robby & then he actually propsed to me in their house : ) Sweet sweet memories with this couple!
We see them once every few years & this time was really neat because they got to meet their american "granddaughters" Charlotte & Karis. They came bearing gifts for the girls, new uggies for the winter, aussie born stuffed animals- a wombat for Charlotte & a cookabura for Karis, some handmade sweaters from another couple in AU & LOTS of hugs and kisses.
We did alot of relaxing mixed in a little eating out & an afternoon in Celebration. It was wonderful to catch up. Thanks for spending time with us. We love you so much!
sweet pictures...will you send me the group one and some of the others we took of us that day?
