| 5 sisters. All in the one place! |
My dear darling sisters. I havent posted a blog in a very long time...why might you ask would we deprive each other of such exciting blogging!?
Well! Our long awaited dream came true! In the wee hours of a March morning, our sisterhood was reunited and our beautiful Nomi came home! Words cannot express the joy we all felt as we held each other again for the first time in over 2 years. An empty hole in our hearts was full again :)
but ALAS my Nomi, you were only here for 2 weeks! I think we all felt the need to savour every moment with you we could...so then came the 2 weeks of taking days off uni, taking days off work, taking days off friends and procrastinating like there was no tomorrow!
Within this 2 weeks we managed to:
- go to the cuckoo twice...and managed to get someone from the family in the floor show both times! (to mums and my embarrassment :/ ) ...this was also the beginning of our continuous feast!
- have family dinners, with the most exciting of foods: Nomi's favorite chicken lasagna, roast dinners, cakes...cakes and more cakes (thankyou Stephy)
- have Easter Bunny came to us a week early! and out-did himself again. hello chocolate babies!
- watch endless amounts of movies
- spend hours upon hours sitting with our hands on Stephy's tummy, waiting for that little boy to move! ...and hours upon hours trying to think of ways we could get him to want to come out sooner!!
- cook on the sunny beach!
- set up our little baby boys bedroom :)
- have your long awaited fish and chips at the beach!
- and have the best 2 weeks of our lives!!!

Ok so maybe I was exaggerating a bit, because within all of that i forgot to mention the stress being felt over this horrible Visa, and the hopelessness we all felt of not being able to do anything to "help a sister out!!!"... but apart from that it was the best 2 weeks of our lives...and it lead to the best next almost 3 weeks of our lives!
you might ask...well how!??
I'll explain! :)
So the Visa was proving to be more problematic than expected...and Nomi got to stay!!
and so the procrastinating continued and continued...because there was no way we were wasting time with a sister home!!
We went on picnics, we went to the beach, we went to the movies, we ate and ate and ate, we had road trips, we whipped up storms in the kitchen, we laughed like we used to laugh, we cried... and then we danced like we used to dance, we took many photos and how i wish we took more! we touched more of stephys belly and watched our baby boy grow, we washed cars, we had a babyshower, we had family events, we filled a whole pew at church!, we watched little women :), we nights upon nights at home enjoying every moment together.

| hello little nephew! BAHA |

| oh my...i love your sexy face. ;) |
until that anticipated, yet dreaded...(for us) day...when that Visa FINALLY came!! and we knew it was time to send you home to your Richard....and work, who was missing you terribly, but kind enough to share you with us for some time :)
As we knelt for family prayer that night, knowing you would be leaving us again, to live the life of a dreamer :) ...i realised how much i truly miss you when your gone (just like the avril lavinge song hahah) ....but in all seriousness, i did; and i also realised that having you home for those extra weeks was a blessing in disguise and you were meant to be here with us for those weeks! because within them, we created memories that will never be forgotten!
 |
| ....we so excited! |
So as I held you, and we cried and cried, knowing that we would have to let go, knowing that once again we would be oceans apart, knowing that my heart was aching...i had to smile. :)
I smile, because I'm proud of you, because you are one of the most beautiful sisters in the world....and youre mine! I smile because I know that nothing can break a sisterhood, and that you are a blessing in all of our lives, that will last for eternity! I smile...because I know Richard is looking after you and because I know he loves you dearly. I smile because we were all so blessed to have those weeks of excitement together, and we can always smile when we think back to those memories! I smile because I know that whatever may separate us, however much our hearts may be aching, we are always together, in each others hearts :)
So if your heart is aching, smile :) or skype us!!... Cos we love to see you ;) or you could just look at this photo below ;)
