Papa was incredibly helpful for the two weeks he stayed with us. He spent days in the extreme heat of Summer unpacking and organising Clinton's huge shed. I wish I had taken before and after photos as it's hard to describe how enormously daunting the task truly was. Papa was super helpful around the house too; putting out the rubbish, hanging out and taking in the washing, cleaning the kitchen, washing the dishes, babysitting...the list is endless. I was able to get the last boxes unpacked while he was there and settle the kids into school. Plus the kids loved having Papa to play with them, as you can see in these pictures in the pool. He's extremely patient with us all and we feel so blessed to have him in our lives.
They love it when Papa throws them in the pool
Three on one, poor Papa!
I tried to get a nice photo of Papa and the kids before church, but inevitably someone's eyes were closed or someone wasn't looking in every photo!
One of Zara's first words was "Harra" she loves her big brother!
It was Papa's birthday on the day he flew home so the night before we had ribs for dinner and a birthday cake (covered in mint kit kats and cherry ripes - Papa's favourites).
Zara is thinking, "let me at that cake!"
After the cake...haha!
Words can't express our gratitude for Papa coming to help us during our move. He's always serving and helping others and we appreciate his good example in our lives. Thanks for all your help Papa, we hope you got some rest when you got home.
