Montreal - part 2

Sunday came so quickly! The time was just flying by over the weekend. The weather report called for rain all weekend and we were so lucky to only have a bit on Sunday night. We spent the afternoon in Chinatown and old Montreal on Sunday! The weather was PERFECT!!

Here are some pictures of the day...



Happy 6th Anniversary D&D!!



Dragon's Beard Candy - YUMMY!!

Doesn't K1 look like a MODEL in this picture???


The boys waiting for the girls...


And NO trip to Montreal would be complete without a visit to F*airmont Bagels. You can see K1 & K2 enjoying their STILL HOT bagels.

Monday morning came so quickly and it was time to come home...sigh...until next time.

Montreal

AHHHH

What a GREAT weekend! On Friday afternoon, Mark and I hopped in the car and off we went to Montreal. We arrived 7 hours later at Doris and Dan's doorstep! It was a long journey, but worth the trip!

We had our greetings and hellos and it was time to catch up! It wasn't long before K1 & K2 arrived and Catherine. The gang was all together again!!

Our camera had been in the shop and we were so pleased that it was fixed and we received it back on Thursday before we went...we didn't take one picture - NOT ONE!!! The pictures that you will see are from D&D, the K's and Catherine (thanks for taking the pictures).

It was a late night of gabbing, catching up and of course, eating and drinking!!

Saturday morning came with more eating, gabbing and catching up!

D&D are great hosts and there is always so much food!



Saturday afternoon brought some shopping and then back home to prepare for the evening's festivities. We had some old friends joining us. Elisa, Jarrod, Thomas and Zoe along with Julie and Naomi! Hard to believe at this time last year they were waiting for their referrals and now they are complete families.



Even MORE friends joined us later in the evening and it was quite a house full!! We were able to meet some of D&D's friends that we had been hearing about and they were able to meet some of the people who's blog they 'stalk'!!


Zoe sharing her food with Naomi!

Dinner consisted of 'deep fried turkey' (among other things) prepared by the guys IN THE RAIN!! The most important thing - other then ensuring it was cooked - was to be positive that there was NO WATER TO HIT THE OIL!! There was success on all fronts. The turkey was delish!!

Saturday was a great day!! Stay tuned for pictures and an update of Sunday!!

For other 'versions' of the weekend and other photos - see this blog and this blog and this blog!!

Montreal

As promised here are some pictures of our weekend in Montreal. Actually it is a video that was produced by 3D Productions and I pinched it off her site. There is no way that I could do a better job in presenting the weekend in pictures then she did.

That said - pictures are pictures and can't totally captivate the wonderfulness of the weekend and the FANTASTIC hosts that D&D are. We are so lucky to have them in our lives and as friends.

Sit back and enjoy the show.



I can't hear the music - I hope you can...if you can't view properly, you can visit The Creators and see AND hear from their site...

Montreal Pictures

Here is a selection of photos from our weekend in Montreal!

It was a great time. It was wonderful meeting Julie and her family and Elisa and her family.

Both of these families are expecting referrals AT ANY TIME!! With an LID of November 7th - fingers are crossed that in about a week they will see the faces of Naomi and Zoe SOON!

Weekend Preview

I don't even know where to begin...

I am in mourning for the end of one of the best weekends that I can remember in recent history. The absolute AMAZING people that we spent the weekend with and the forever friendships that have developed...I just don't think I can articulate what is in my head & heart and transfer it to my fingers to type.

Doris and Dan are PHENOMENAL hosts - heck they are PHENOMENAL people! They are incredibly warm, welcoming, kind, caring, loving and lovely people. They opened up their home to us and we felt totally comfortably and at ease. We are so lucky to have had the opportunity to spend the time with you that we did and deepen our friendship.

Kathy and Joel are FANTASTIC. We knew them a little more going into the weekend and know them even better now. They are so funny and giving of themselves. They would do anything for you without a thought to themselves. We again were lucky to have had the opportunity to strengthen the already blossoming friendship that we had developed.

Catherine is an AMAZING woman. We had met at various Waiting Mommies Dinners, but never had a chance to truly connect with one another - that changed this weekend. Once again we were lucky to have had the opportunity to get to know her better.

Spending the weekend with everyone was...the best word I can think of is EASY. We all got along famously. There was no tension whatsoever! However, there was MUCH laughter, tears, joy, gabbing, eating and FUN!

Thank you so much to Doris and Dan for having us take over in your home.

Pictures and more to come. I haven't even gotten to Julie and Family or Elisa and Family and the zombies, eels, water chestnuts and so much more...

I miss everyone and hope to see them again soon!
