Thanks for the fun gifts, Mr. Andrew and Mr. Nathan!
When Jamie studied abroad in Australia several years ago, she became very close with her host family, and also their family and friends, and they've come to visit before. So when we found out that they'd be coming in again for Jamie's wedding, we were happy to have Andrew and Nathan stay with us.
This time, the stay was longer than before and the kids are obviously older, so the visit was even more special. We had a few dinners at our house that Karen and Lauryn (Jamie's Australian mum and sister) were also able to join us for.
Toasting Will and Jamie! (Brooke gets photo cred for this one.)
Andrew and Nathan were also with us most mornings for breakfast and because we didn't have anything going early in the mornings this week, the kids really enjoyed playing with them.
It was a great visit that further solidified our friendship.
Brooke actually said this morning, "I wish they could stay forever! Why do people have to leave?!"
Luckily, they've already got a visit planned back to the states in May (who knew Australians were Indy 500 fans?), so we won't have to wait too long to see them again. Thanks again for everything, guys (and girls)!
Had more fun than I could possibly describe in words. Leaving this morning wasn't an easy thing! See you guys in May. :)
