Jonas and Jember turned 9 months old on October 20th! We celebrated over the weekend by spending it with our beloved friends (and adopted aunties) Sue and Shirley. Sue and Shirley live in a little cabin on the edge of a meadow - right on the edge of the foothills. We love being with them. For me, it is like returning home each time we drive out to see them. Its such a wonderful place to be. Sue and Shirley are so loving and kind. I love their home and I really love bringing the babies into the heart of nature. We sat in the sun, enjoying an absolutely stunning autumn afternoon. Ross dug around a little in Sue's garden. Shirley and I split a bowl full of garden fresh garlic. We made a thick pot of autumn soup (broccoli cheese) and had a really warm dinner over soup and wine. Here are some pics from our wonderful afternoon:

Wow- they are growing way too fast! But they look like very happy babies- great job parents!
Wow, they're getting huge! Standing and crawling, where does the time go? It seems like only last month you two were in Addis Abba and I was crossing my finger in the hope that all would be well.
