Good Times, Good Friends

We were so lucky to be able to spend time with my girlfriends and their babies when we arrived in the US. It was a whirlwind day and a half, but SO worth it and we fit a lot in! My sister Leah and her boyfriend Gabe met us at the airport, loaded up (all!) our stuff and we headed off to Lisa's place where some close friends were waiting to welcome us and meet Bowen! Lisa had cooked an amazing meal for everyone, including the main course "Husband's Delight"! You should have heard us all rave about this incredible casserole - it is, indeed, delightful! I think Lisa should make that recipe her next posting! :) No surprise, Bowen was exhausted from the flight and went to bed pretty soon after we got to Lisa's. This allowed Stewart and I the ability to properly relax and catch up with old friends. The following day, Suzanne's amazing playroom was the destination and we just hung out, got lunch, let the babies play together and staged a little photo shoot (more on that next posting!). That evening, Lisa's parents offered to babysit so that we could all go to dinner - many thanks to Mike and Beth!! Lisa picked a wonderful Italian place called Vivace for our night out and we enjoyed some wonderful food and wine! The next morning we were up early packing (again) for the beach! Gabe, Leah and Harper (Leah's beautiful black English Lab) picked us up and with a UHaul attached, dog and baby in tow, we made off for the beach!

But not before a quick run through Taco Bell!! YAY.
