We've been loved

We have never felt so loved by people who have no obligation to love us. I only captured a small number of the meals our friends brought us after Claire's birth. We didn't cook dinner for about a month because our friends kept bringing us meals. We've been blessed beyond what we could imagine. We had the same outpouring of love when Chloe was born. Kim and I feel certain that one of the things God is teaching us in this part of our journey is how to be better friends. We've been eternally impacted by the love that's been shown to us by our brothers and sisters here. Thank you Mirko and Krystal, Steve and Naomi, Josh and Amy, Luke and Cathy, Vicki and Grant, Adrien and Rebekah, Peter and Shelly, Mary, Kiki...you are God's love personified.

Visitors, Food, Flowers!!!

We had no idea how many friends we had until Chloe arrived. Maybe its Chloe who has so many friends (smile)! Our small group at church got together and blessed us abundantly by providing meals for us for 2 weeks! Every evening we dined on homemade meals of Indian food (Mike's favorite), a South African dish, Kiwi Style roasts (we were introduced to Parsnips...yum!), and all kinds of desserts! Wow...God loves us and knows just what we need! Not only that but He even goes so far as to meet the desires of our hearts! We received many gifts and our apartment was covered in flowers....Gerbera daisies (my favorite) included! People even sent flowers to us International FTD style from Spiros.co.nz and they were absolutely gorgeous!
