Friends

When I was in Calgary, we dropped by to see Heather's friend (and former band teacher), Kim and her precious little girl. Oh, and her husband was there too! I think it's so amazing that a teacher student relationship has developed into a friend to friend and mother to mother relationship now. They only live a few minutes away from each other and are a mutual support team. A woman can never have too many friends!



Helayna and Amyah - only 7 weeks apart in age and so, so cute together!




They were so excited to see each other - talking and laughing - just so sweet to see!!!




These two are going to be quite the pair together as they get bigger, I think!




I love the look between Helayna and I that Heather captured here! I was amazed at how much Amyah has grown up! I think it was all her blond hair that struck me the most. Thanks for the visit, Kim!

Calgary

When we go to Calgary, we are so lucky to be able to stay in this lovely place that Kelsey's family has. They are so wonderful to share it with us - thanks H & R!!! I've noticed some cool buildings in this area so on the weekend I captured a few images.



This is the awesome view from the condo.




Can you see the tip of the Pengrowth Saddledome in this?




Kelsey gets some very yummy things at this bakery, I think.




Such an appropriate painting on the side of a bakery, don't you think?




This one's for my friend Carm! It's a beautiful Italian restaurant by the same name as her blog. I love the way they've painted it on the building. I'm sure the food is great but we haven't had the opportunity to eat here yet.




There's a beautiful domed church up the hill and the sun glistens off the copper roof.

A Little Visit

It's always a treat to see our kids and their families and this weekend was no exception! These 3 made me feel so welcome and let me hang out, just smiling and having a good visit. I've already told them I'm coming for a whole week this summer but I probably still won't want to go home! Thanks for the visit, Guys!!!




Helayna got her high chair all set up and thoroughly enjoyed sitting in it to eat and to watch everyone else.




I got to feed Helayna supper twice and lunch once - she's such a good eater! It was fun just to sit with her and sneak bites into her mouth while she chewed on her own spoon.




Just doing a little reading while waiting for Gramma to load the stroller so we can go out for a walk




We went for a very long walk while Heather and Jonathan went out for brunch. The trails around their home are perfect for strolling and picture taking.




Helayna loves to swing and I am very happy to go with her to the playground every chance I get!




This was our self-portrait while swinging!!
