Harrison's new favorites....

Meet Kate and Jo. Our lovely visitors from Australia. If Harrison had his way - he would be stowed away on a plane returning home with them to tropical and sunny Darwin (he cries on a REGULAR basis for the beach). I am positive Harrison prefers these two to his mummy.

Jordan met Kate about 10 years ago - while he was on a mission. They have kept in touch through the years and we were lucky enough to make her itinerary on her 6 week holiday to the states. She popped in and out over a few weeks as she traveled around - each time Harrison growing more and more fond of her.

When she first arrived, she brought her friend Jo (who is on a 9 MONTH holiday - can I get an AMEN to moving to Australia), and stayed for a few nights. Harrison was smitten. He woke up in the morning asking for Jo and Jack (Kates name at first....not sure why), loved playing with them, and receiving lots of undivided attention.

We visited the beautiful Temple Square downtown, braved eating out, and just had a super leisurely weekend. When they left - Harrison cried all the way home "Jo! Jack! Wanna see them!"

Kate returned a couple of times throughout the month - Harrison forgot he used to call her 'Jack' and wouldn't let her out of his sight. They read stories, watched Monsters Inc. and Cars, and took a ride on a train at a nearby monument. Kate had him saying the word 'driver' (of the train) but pronouncing it 'dry-vuh' with a perfect accent. We laughed and laughed which of course encouraged Harrison to keep repeating it over and over.

It was so much fun to take her to our favorite restaurants, to see movies that haven't come out in Australia yet, and just listen to her talk. We became fast friends and I enjoyed every minute of her visit. Please come again! Maybe we will be lucky enough to vacation in Australia some day!
