Granny and Granpa Diggers' Visit

Granny and Granpa Diggers came to visit for two weeks for Donna's birthday, and of course to meet their new gorgeous granddaughter too! We had a great time, doing non-holiday stuff like voting, vaccines and a surgical consult for Hannah, cooking, washing, cleaning and baking cakes (!!), but I also gave them a break and took them to see a few places in Dubai!

I think Donna had the best time-got very spoilt with a new present every day, a 24 hour playmate (aka Granny), and someone who would take her swimming any time of day (aka Granpa Diggers)! She loved the attention and love, and is missing them alot now that they're back home!

Thanx for the good times we spent together, it was really a good visit!

The Collett's visit!

We were treated by the Colletts who came to visit for 2 days-2 wonderful days of sweet fellowship!!

We had a picnic out in one of the gardens on Friday, then went and did the tourist thing on Saturday. To be honest-Ryan and I felt like the tourists-Dubai has changed so much since the last time we went sight seeing!!

To Brian, Tanya, Ashley and Michael:

Thank you so much for stopping over! We had so much fun catching up with you guys! We so appreciate the friendship we have with you.

Ash: THANK YOU for how great you were with Donna and Hannah-you are such star! Donna has not stopped talking about you!

Just a few random pics of our beautiful treasures!

Ashton's 1st Birthday Party

We had such a great time at Ashton's 1st party-Donna enjoying it the most definitely! Well...there was a pool and cupcakes-that's about as good as life gets for Donna!

Hannah was also there...

Photoshoot with Aunty Cand's tutu

Hannah turns 1 month!

Our little baby is 1 month! It has been an amazing and blessed month! Getting used to life with a new baby has been easier than I thought-but Hannah has been an absolute star baby-she has made the adjustment an easy one! She is making life so special, the smallest smile and "coo" just melts our hearts!

Donna loves Hannah, I think she just can't wait for her to grow a bit to be able to play! But she has been so patient and just adorably cute in the way she handles and speaks to Hannah, it's just incredibly special! Here they are in their onesies-Donna as Piglet and Hannah as Eeyore.

For Hannah's "birthday" we made a raw pumpkin pie (with juiced sweet potato!). Believe me-I know you'll think we're crazy-but it's delicious!!

In a way it's sad that our little baby is growing up, that she is not at her "littlelest" anymore, but it's just so fun to watch her grow! And we look forward to the coming interaction and growth that is to come!
