Never would we have thought that 22 years down the road we'd be in New Zealand, watching our 4th child - a beautiful 6-year-old girl, put on a very dramatic-creative show especially for us to watch, with our 3-year-old (almost) adopted brown-skinned, black-haired precious Maori son clapping for her - alongside us...(just before bedtime)
Not to mention our 3 oldest that went off to a youth meeting at church - with 2 overseas-guests...
Rich was gone all day today and will be also all day tomorrow for a training (he's doing a 6-month training to become ambulance officer), and I was going to drive kids around to a volleyball-tournament (Leilani), work (Jeremie) and entertain Kylie and a friend, plus Shayden... and do grocery shopping, laundry, house-work, baking for the church.
What a wonderful surprise when I found one of our guests (who also helped with the running kids around) putting together these beautiful bouquets for us (even bought a couple of vases for them!)! That sooooo warmed my heart - - - especially since this anniversary is pretty much a non-celebrated-one for Rich and I - because of him being gone and me being so tired.
He also treated us to take-away-pizza and nice cake!
WOW WOW WOW!!!!! I feel so blessed! THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH (you know who you are and yes, I won't mention your name)!!!!!!!!!!
Just for accuracy-sake - Jeremie put together the second vase-arrangement - he's getting real good at it, too!
The photos don't really do them justice, but I thought I'd share my joy anyways :)
