These last few weeks I have been able to see and connect with some of my favourite people. Some planned visits - other complete surprises!

First my surprises...

In an earlier post I mentioned bumping into Kathy. A high school and college friend I adore! We figure it's been about 8 years since we had seen each other - and we just bumped into each other in Toronto! Seriously! I love this gal!



Then at church last week I was shocked to turn around and see my buddy Dave who I had not seen since college - twelve years ago! Also at church was Robin who had also gone to college with us and had recently moved back to Ontario. So we had a mini reunion - woo hoo! Bad pic on my point and shoot - but I just had to post it!



Today I had another surprise visit from a friend - my sister and I took my girls to MarineLand. And we bumped into Carolynn and her family!! Her girls and my girls are tight - so they were in heaven! We all rode a roller coaster together which was fun! Haven't downloaded the pics I took (on the ride) yet though.

Now the more planned visits!

A couple weeks ago two of my closest friends - Carolynn and Cherie - and I took all of our munchkins up to Cherie's cottage for a couple days of fun! It's so nice to have our kids grow up togetehr and enjoy each otehr so much! I only brought my point and shoot so ignore the quality!

Poor Caden - the only boy with 6 girls and three women!



And then this week I went up to Zurich to visit with my two good friends Sandra and Monica.

Meet Sandra... photographer, mom of 5, and capable of just about anything....



And Sandra's 5 kids...

Bailey



Rachel



Caroline



Victor and Warren



Victor is a year older than Madi and Warren a year older than Eden and the two pairs played together wonderfully. I wanted to get a picture of Madi and Warren... watch the progression of Madi as she slowly cuddles into Warren....



After the photo Madi said, "I hate to say it. But I'm in love with Warren." ha ha!!

We had a campfire with Sandra's family in their backyard. Oh how I love country life! Sitting under a gazillion stars, roasting marshmallow's.... ahhhh.....



Monica and her girls came over - fun to see Bailey (the oldest of all 9 kids present) playing with the youngest - Eliana.



Meet my friend Monica - talented musician, one of the most caring people ever, my encouragement and great listening ear!



Apparently I make her laugh...



Monica has two gorgeous girls - Maia and Eliana. SO fun to see her as "mom"....



Maia and the camera were mad at each other - she cried if I snapped a photo of her! But I did get this one from behind....



And Eliana - well, she just stole my heart with those big eyes! Love!



All in all, it's been great to see some faces I adore and to connect with people again. I love my friends so much - these that I have seen recently - and the many of you that I hope to connect with SOON!

Celebrating life and love,

Krista
