lace and naters surprise!

so….it's saturday night, and me and dust are just about to sing with the boys and put them to bed when we hear the loudest knock ever at our door - weird. so, i look at dust all confused and go to see what's going on, and i find tiffany saying she stopped by to chat. when i open the door though, i see none other than these two strangers!!!!

i slammed the door in their face of course and continued to freak out for a few minutes as i realized that she got not only me but dust too by complete surprise!!!! my lace who was just talking to me about booking flights to be here at the end of june was at my statia doorstep - CRAZY!!!

little naters was immediately mauled by his loving cousins, and then he met our tile floor with a fall off the bed :( so sad for his little lip but yay for snuggles from our little nate!!!

first day at the beach…nate wasn't so in love, but lace perfected her body surfing form and caught some good waves at zeelandia :)

day 2 went much more smoothly for nate and his friend, the sand :) he loved it and had sand in every crack and crevice. he loved it almost as much as he loved uncle dust while he was here!

we did lots of walking, and lace got her work outs in for sure! walking up our little rosemary lane is tough enough, but adding a double stroller full of boys will define your calves in no time!

 

mangos and cousins and fun around these parts for 10 whole days :)

we hit up chicken day and had a little picnic. lace and i hiked the quill and saw 4 snakes, one of which i freakin stepped on!!!! so gross but so fun :)

 

we had some serious zumba fun with the girls and had to get the timer shot at white wall of course!

brother/sister shell finding and me and my sweaty self making cinnamon buns using my makeshift water bottle rolling pin on my tiny little kitchen table! haha they were just as yummy though!

 

seriously…..check out that form! beckam loved his diving friend :)

 

went went to beach EVERY day and loved EVERY minute of it! then, we got this amazing shot of lace and naters on their last night here. sooo precious!

 

i could not have been more surprised when this girl showed up on my doorstep, and i could't have loved the 10 days we had together any more. living my normal statia life with my lace definitely livened things up a bit, and i loved every minute of it. duggins, the library, cool corner, the beach, zeelandia, white wall, walks, chick flicks, popcorn, treats, girl talk……it was soooo fun!!!!

 

wish they could have stayed longer but so thankful they came at all and managed to surprise us too :) love ya lace and the boys are still asking about you, little nater pants!!! can't wait to play more in a few months with a few more important boys along for the adventures :)
