Down the rabbit hole

Ever since the Turners moved here to Abu Dhabi, I have been looking forward to our kids reunion, and finally, yesterday it happened! Look at them! How time flies!!

Ben normally lives in NZ where he goes to boarding school, and is about to start on his last semester; and Hannah is studying in Bath in the UK, but they are both out here for a couple of summer holiday.
Linnea and I are back in Abu Dhabi for a couple of summer weeks too, and on Sunday night Lucas came as well, so our family is also in the same place now for a bit (which is super nice!).

These kids have known each other since our very first day in Brunei, when they were 3,5, 3, almost 2 and 1,5 years old. Ben and Linnea ended up in the same class, and Lucas and Hannah as well; and they stuck together as besties all our time in Brunei.

Of course I had to go looking for a few old photos, and here are some I found down the rabbit hole, with all four of them. Starting a very long time ago in Brunei, on the boat our families owned together:



Hannah's 7th birthday in 2011:


One of many, many sleepovers, in 2012:



Our last big party together, New Years Eve 2013, just before we left for Abu Dhabi:


They soon came to visit us though, this is April 2014 in Abu Dhabi:


We returned to Brunei to visit in 2017:



Last time we met up was in Singapore in 2019:



But now that Will and Tash live here, we are happy we will hopefully see them both more often!
