2 day weekends

Ahh it's nice to have two day weekends again. This weekend the weather was gorgeous! We got out walking along the river both Saturday and Sunday. Sundays walk turned into a several hour affair as we ran into friends at the park, and Ellie wanted to fun alongside the stroller for most of the walk. She's getting to be quite the runner. Meanwhile, Dyllan, our Teenager (tween) sat in the stroller watching an Asian lady make creations out of playdough on YouTube (her favorite).

Saturday afternoon we had friends around for a BBQ, and Sunday we had some friends drop around this delicious chicken pot pie (complete with pastry hearts).. People have been so generous, bringing us meals! We have enough meals in our freezer to last a week or more. This one came hot and ready to eat.. So we did. What generous friends we have:)

Home w Benji

It's so nice having two weekend days with the family (and not working Saturdays)! Saturday we all went to swimming lessons- it was fun to see how the girls are doing at swimming. We met friends at the park for coffee and spent the afternoon at a friends house for a birthday party.

Today we took both strollers out for the first time.. Oh boy.. Quite the parade.

Then had friends over for bunch at our house.. And it's only 2pm.. The rest of the afternoon I'm gonna lay on the couch with this little barnacle on my chest.

Heading home!
