The big surprise
 When Jenifer got word that her brother Jesse was getting married we knew we had to get her over to the States for the second time in a year. For a second wedding in a year. The previous was Josiah and Sarah’s wedding, the timing on that occasion wasn’t good for a family trip so Jenifer and Hayden went alone. This one wasn’t ideal either; the boys would have been in a new school year all of a few weeks before the big day. With reluctance we planned for Jenifer and Hayden only to venture over again, alone. When Jenifer’s mum had left Australia after Hayden’s birth it affected Nevan pretty deep. He wanted very much to visit his uncles and grandparents again so when he pleaded to go this time we began to entertain the idea. I could work from the office, beautifully placed in Jenifer’s hometown. The boys could take a schooling packet with them and make the trip educational. We could see everyone and everyone could see us. We hatched the plan. Roll forward to the evening of February 17th, 2009. Jenifer entered the side door of her parents house; as expected and welcomed after her long trip. Everyone obviously pleased she was there safe and happy to have her home. I took the boys around to the front door and knocked… The scenes were exciting and fun as David almost fell over backwards, Jeni’s dad was dumbfounded, everyone thrilled and in disbelief. The trip was for a month, our first as a family for nearly 2 years. Jenifer and the boys got a lot of much needed family face time while I got what I needed on top of some productive times in the office. Seeing my co-workers again after a year was great as well. The wedding was superb, held at the in-laws, well organized and a treat to be a part of. Jenifer was a Bridesmaid for the first time in her life and we all just adored the bride’s family. A bond was made in the few days by all before we all went our separate ways to various parts of the earth.
