Company on their way!

Today is an exciting day for us, we have friends on their way for a visit. They are travelling from out of province to a reunion and are passing through to see us for lunch.
Jay, Sandy, Maia and Claire are from Jillian's China group, we had such a great time with them in Chongqing so we can't wait to see them again and get the girls together!
I'm sure I'll have my camera out, *wink*

The girls are head over heels in love.

The girls are head over heels in love.
Last week our neighbour got a new puppy, his name is Dexter and the girls can't not get enough of him! They are wanting to be next door constantly, we are feeling a little guilty, enjoying the perks of having a puppy without the vet bills or having to feed and pick up after him the yard, LOL. The girls are now begging us for a dog of their own, had to explain to them it won't be this Summer, too busy to train a puppy. For now our neighbour is being so wonderful, letting us spoil his baby.
We continue to be busy with finishing up the school year, upcoming school trips and sports, lots and lots of sports.

Summer picnics.

We love to picnic in the summer, we invited a very special friend to join us.
After the picnic there is always time for fun..
Monkeying around
Beautiful, I just am so happy how this shot turned out!!

Feeding our favorite bird!!
They liked our treats!!
Talk to me...
I liked this shot of Puddin'.
Beautiful bird, they sure can make a mess of our park, if you know what I mean, LOL.

Jillian reminded us to watch out for Poose Poop, LOL..

We had such a great afternoon thanks to great friends, good food and sunny skies!

Thanks Sharon and Ivy.

Gift from my BFF

I called Superman at work this morning and he informed me there had been a parcel delivered to his office this morning. My girlfriend Helen saw this and thought of our family!!
I could hardly believe it when I opened it tonight, I am so excited and can hardly wait for it to be hooked up.
A big huge"Thank you" going out to my best buddy, you certainly spoil me rotten. ;)
Will let you know how sore we are the next few days, LOL.
Thanks again.
xo xo xo

Best Forever Friend.

Today is Helen's day. I wish everyday could be her day.
I truly have the best friend ever, I didn't hand pick her, if I did I couldn't of done any better.
Our friendship started about 7 years ago, I met her husband first at a meeting we were both attending, we had a few common interests and our paths crossed a few times. One day out of the blue one day he said that he wanted me to meet his wife. He felt that we had a lot in common and that he was sure we would hit it off. His instincts were right, I had felt that I had know her a lifetime, instantly we became friends.
Over the years our friendship has strengthened, we have suffered together, rejoiced together, one thing never changing how much I adore and love my friend.
Helen gives so much of herself to others, she volunteers countless hours, donates to such wonderful causes and still finds enough time to always be the best friend. Not only is she special to me but my girls adore their special Aunt, for a lady not having her own children(no I stand corrected, she has 3 fur babies)she is so supportive. Many a night when we first come home from China I was on the phone with her, tears flowing and feeling at wits end(sleep deprived), she was able to calm me in an instant.
So today as I sit thinking of her I want to say "thank you" for being such a great friend. You are our family, we love you very much.
