Family Friends

It's not often we hear friends say they treat you like family. So it was particularly heartwarming when Meiling emailed saying that to me a couple of days back.

We're indeed blessed to have Andy and Meiling in our lives. Since moving here, they've been more than hospitable to us - we've quaffed copious amounts of wine and beer together, nibbled on waaaay too much cheese and crackers, O.D-ed on chocolate cakes and cream, and drunk unending mugs of warm tea. We've also done roadtrips together, cooked for each other, and more recently, they've even baby-sat Danielle.

We are v grateful that they sincerely like Danielle and try to fit her into their lives.



So here's a big THANK YOU to Andy and Meiling! Thanks for spending time with us, dishing out comforting home-cooked meals, enjoying thrift shop bargains together, but most of all - introducing me to your world of flowers and plants (I'm sold - hook, line and sinker)!

Thanks also for all the thoughtful things you do - buying Danielle a special beaker to use at your place, bringing Mr Shark on the car ride, taking her to the zoo, equipping yourselves with your own wet wipes, giving her a bath, feeding her, changing her diapers, but most of all, showering her with your genuine love and attention. We couldn't ask for better...
