1. She flew to Manila from Hong Kong with a three month old alone and never once complained or was anxious about it. When I was in the hospital with Malcolm she mentioned she wanted to come visit once we were home. I didn’t want to get my hopes up since I had trouble making it to the coffee shop on the corner when Adam was three months but I should never doubt Kate. Sure enough once we were home she came straight away.
I was so happy to get to meet her beautiful sweet little boy who is perfect as I knew he would be.
2. We spent the whole glorious four days of the visit soaking up time with the babies, relaxing, and talking. That is except for when Kate was making us hummous, cooking stuffed grape leaves and updating our Ipad. A woman of many talents.
3. Even sleep deprived, Kate managed to research the best schedule for babies and get George on it. Which thanks to Kate and all her advice I now have Malcolm on.
4. We took our babies to the monthly bazaar and I found the best stuff which always happens when I go shopping with Kate.
5. Only Kate would spend three hours setting up and helping me take the cutest pictures of all three boys. This had the added bonus of the air conditioning being turned off to make sure Malcolm didn’t get cold which in midday Manila means the room was about 100 degrees. It was worth it though, get ready for cuteness overload.
I was putting some paprika on Adam’s hummous the other day and he looked and me and said in his excited little voice- Kate did that! She sure did Adam.
Thanks for coming to visit us Kate! We miss you and Baby George.
This is the sweetest post!

I had the best time with you and the boys. Not sure how I felt so relaxed when I look permanently tired here. Favourite pic is definitely the last one of Malcolm.
