The filling of my love-tank...

Its been such a full on, soul-resorative, memory-making week... I am oh-so-tired but its a happy tired and my love-tank is full!!

One of my most dearest friends came all the way from London-town to Sydney with her entourage of husband, 2 year old son and little 7 month old son (whom I have never met... until now). Yip... same ages as our kids and it was magic.  I love that we were able to spend time together in spite of jet-lag for everyone and subsequent sleep deprivation because of said jet lag.

This awesome friend and I did so much together in our home of London: buying houses, having our first children together, were off on maternity leave together, were next door neighbours... literally, and shared a love of chatting and tea.  Oh the time that we have spent drinking that tea (and coffee) while solving the worlds problems, and we were able to do it all over again, a year later... and it felt the so right!! (Sadly no photos of the adults together... Doh!!)

I love friendships like this... there is something that will forever remain etched in my heart because of the time we have spent together, the tears that we have shed, the mountains we have climbed, the wounds that have been healed, the journeys begun and ended, and the laughter shared.  I love that there are even more people smattered all over the world that I cherish in exactly the same way... you know who you are lovely ladies!!!

Anyway, Noosh had a friend for the week... they loved one another and there were times of too much loving and territory marking (from one or the other).  I am adamant that they remembered one another (even if only from photos). Just too too sweet!!

Look at the fun they had...

... swimming...

... sleeping... (well obviously not my Noosh)

... trying on hats...

... watching TV...

... baking...

... refining ball skills...

and holding hands.... (oohhhhhhhhhhh).

The little ones babbled to one another... they smiled and oh did they do such devine cuddles.

It was just magic... my love-tank is full... I am soooooo appreciative of good friends.... I am sooooooo appreciative of the cuteness of these wee people.  I can sigh..... (sssssssiiiiiiiiiigggggggggghhhhhhhhh) and take a deep breath, as I am happy and content and full.
