An Unexpected Blessing...

An unexpected Blessing... the Davidson are in Singapore... we got an email a week ago saying they were coming... so Jennifer Willerton and I fought over who was going to get them first... not really but we both love them so. Mrs. Sara (aka Sadie) and Mr. Kelly (aka Papa K) stayed the night with us Thursday night and all day Friday... we were so blessed by their company and it was so nice to have visitors... We already miss them so.

We all meet up for dinner last night at Villa Bali... times like this the world seems very small to me... For those that do not know The Davidsons... Kelly lead the Aggie for Christ Ministry when I was in College (him and his dad)... now 10 years later Kelly and Sara are still with the Aggies for Christ and came over here to do a retreat for a church here. Both Kelly and Sara were missionaries for several years in Thailand 15 years ago... so they call this side of the world their second home....we love them.

Day 3 & 4 - having fun...

Day 3 was uneventful when it came to picture taking... JUJU is not a big fan of my camera and rarely allows me to snap a picture of her... so sorry we don't have alot of pics but Day 3 I had a meeting at the church so we had a short shopping adventure at Holland Village and then we went to the meeting.... and the rest of the day was at the condo hanging with Pierce.

It has been an adventure watching Pierce with JUJU... he initially wanted to test me to see how much he could get away with (he would do it with Daddy too), he would wine more, he was hard to put to bed, etc.... we are getting better everyday that goes by but on Tuesday (day 4) This is how we found Pierce.... see pics below... hilarious.

Pierce talked in his room for about 1.5 hours and then fell asleep.... I let him sleep about an hour and then I went in his room to wake him up... I could not find him at first... he had crawled under the fitted sheet...
We made a lot of noise and then he came out of the sheet... without a diaper or underwear... I just think it was so funny that he was asleep that way... so cute.

After playing trains yesterday we all headed to Villa Bali for dinner (my fav. restaurant in Singapore... or at least one of them)... Pierce did great at dinner while we all got to chat for awhile while enjoying the outdoors... when we got home Pierce and daddy could not get to the couch soon enough...

I can not believe 5 days have gone by... hopefully we will have more to show you soon... we are still laying low since I am working hard on the MOPS retreat this weekend... stay tuned.

See you in Perth, Laura!

Laura (in the middle wearing the green dress) you will be missed... goodbye Singapore but hello Perth... could be worse... :-). We will have to come and see you.

Lonely... we miss them already!

The last 16 days have been a blast... they have come to an end and we are very sad. I think everyone is going to get some rest after these past couple of weeks but we made memories that will last a lifetime. We had to say goodbye (for now) to ViVi, Grandad and Great Mama. We had dinner at Villa Bali and then drove them to the airport so they could go home. All day yesterday Pierce kept seeing the suitcases emerge from the closets and we were slowly telling him what was going on. He handled it well until we were standing at the terminal saying Goodbye... Pierce was screaming through his tears "I want ViVi and Grandad"... "I want ViVi and Grandad"... we told him they were going back home to Texas and that we were staying in Singapore. We soon got him in the car and turned on the DVD player and he was better but within 5 minutes he asked for a present (bc ViVi told him he gets a present on Sat. that they left for him).

I think this is our only picture of all of us... it was a great night together... we all had tears in our eyes when they left but we know we will see them soon.

This was Pierce's first time to his restaurant and he almost ate all of the chicken satay on his plate...I guess he liked them.

ViVi wanted some kisses... but Pierce was still into his movie.

Then ViVi asked for a real kiss... and boy did she get one...

And then some spit...

We already miss ViVi, Grandad and Great Mama so much... it just was not the same to wake up and not have Great Mama sitting on the couch waiting for us... when Pierce woke up this morning he asked "where is my Great Mama"... I like how he used the word my... we had a great time and can't wait to do it again...
