I met up with Wattle and her family in Hollywood, all the way from Melbourne! We had to do In-N-Out burgers tonight, of course, and also had IHOP pancakes. They are a really nice family, I enjoyed meeting them and hope to spend more time with them over the next few days.  :yahoo;

(Sorry, I know it's a huge photo but I will resize tomorrow!)

 This is Bajanne.  Didn't realize at first that Lilbajanne had signed in on this laptop.  It is great seeing family members meet up like this.  Wish I were there!

What a gorgeous family! I bet they all had adorable accents as well. (My husband always said that his accent was key to getting the girl in America. It certainly did not hurt.... :rofl;)

So glad you are getting this time to hang out together.

Spending time with Wattle has been a dream come true. We met through IHD 4 years ago and spent many hours in the chatroom. When she got her transplant nearly a year and a half ago I sobbed with joy and fear. She's doing great, and I love that she got to travel around California. I am so grateful I got to meet her and her family in person.

If they're still here this weekend, I'm available to meet up.  I live in Carson, so I'm right in the neighborhood of where they seem to be staying.  Just let me know.

I took this about 4 weeks ago. We went to Olvera Street near downtown Los Angeles.
Wattle and family are probably about to board their flight back to Melbourne.
We talked about a meet-up - hope to make a plan for IHD members to get together.

I got to meet up with Wattle and her family a Disneyland last Monday.  We had lunch and a great time for awhile.  Her hubby took a few pics.  I forgot the camera.
