This past weekend, my dear friend Mandy (who I met in BC, but now lives in Ontario) drove many many hours all the way to Toronto to visit us. Weren't we lucky! She spoiled us with gifts and love and good conversation. I can't begin to say how much I love having this intelligent, thoughtful and loyal friend in my life. And apparently, we get to have her around a lot more since she will be moving to Toronto!
We took her on a little jaunt to see some of the sights around Toronto, in particular 'The Beaches.' We had lunch and sauntered the main street, went the park and finally the beach. I have to say it was really special to spend the weekend with this girl and I was also incredibly thankful that I had her around with two little ones--especially when at the end of the day, as we were heading home with two overtired children on the verge of complete meltdowns, the stroller broke and wouldn't fold so we could get it into the car. After every attempt to fix it, we just dismantled it as much as we could by taking the wheels and seats off and wedged it into the trunk. I was worried for a while we might have to find some shop we could ditch it in until Jordan could pick it up in his truck. We were a sweaty mess by the end of it and just hoped both babes would pass out in the car on the way home. And they did, lucky us. Which meant we were able to spend the car ride and then some just catching up on the details of our lives.
There were so many places we could have taken Mandy, but it will just have to wait until summer. But we are hoping we made her love it here as much as we do!
Mandy indulged Gabriel by letting him eat all of her olives.
Ohhhh... some of my favorite spring flowers!!
Welcome to Toronto (shortly) my dear friend.
