Our dear, dear friend Jude came all the way from Australia for another visit. It's been six years since we're seen her, so we've planned some time letting her catch up with our friends and family, and then it's off to New Jersey and Tennessee -- and other points in between!
Jude is here! And I can't imagine why she looks surprised that I would be taking her photo! ;-)

Time to get some of the family over to visit, and first to arrive were Deanna, Michael and John William. Michael was thrilled by the wonderful Australian gifts that Jude brought him! (August 8, 2008)

And Johnny loved his backpack -- and was even giving kisses to the kangaroo in his pouch! (August 8, 2008)

It was nice to sit, relax and visit -- before we head out of town in a few days. (August 8, 2008)

Jude wanted a nice photo of Deanna and the boys, so I grabbed one too! (August 8, 2008)

And then it was time to head out to the veranda, where Max, Vicki, Ashley and Ava joined us! (August 8, 2008)

This is one of our favorite past-times, hanging out on the front veranda with the neighbors. Luckily, Jude enjoys that too! (August 8, 2008)

Quinn was trying to catch a really, really big bug -- or maybe Max?!? (August 8, 2008)
