Visits

This past weekend, Justin, Hunter and I took off to Summerland to visit our good friends, Dustin, Christy, Ben and Megan. It was a great visit. It is always great to relax with them. This time, we got to watch Hunter interact a little more with Ben and Megs. Sooo cute. Here are a couple pictures... You might remember last time we visited, I put pictures up... Check them out to see the differences in the kids.

On the way home, we stopped to visit family in Kelowna. The Semeniuks are a terrific part of my family. Heather, Dennis and their kids have always done their utmost to make me and my family feel special and loved. We sure do, so thanks. Anyhow, when we lived in Kelowna, I got to spend time with them and get to know them a little better. I have always looked up to my cousin, Jacquie so playing basketball on the same team as her was terrific. It was too bad that I got prego the second year and couldn't play... Also, I got to be pretty close to my cousins' wives. Sarah and Ricky are two pretty special ladies in my life (also played bball on the same team). Not only are they incredible women and athletes (Ricky was my soccer buddy 'cuz Sarah was prego, then I had a new baby and I missed playing with both of them together), but they are terrific mothers and have provided me with a lot of examples of ways that I want to be a mother. Anyhow, I know that Sarah reads my blog so I just wanted to say that I really appreciate the friendships that I have developed with these women and I am glad that we can keep in touch! Oh, and... they have GORGEOUS, loving and just-all-around-terrific kids!! I left my camera in the car on this latest visit, but I have had the privilege of taking lots of pictures of their kids at other times. Justin and I truly love and enjoy these kids. We are known for getting them a little crazy (oops, see below).


We dropped in to see Wynter and Storm, who are both a little under the weather..flu! Wynter, I called you tonight and talked to Storm. I hope that you feel better soon! Biiig hug... and I look forward to seeing you as you pass through.

We also stopped to visit some friends of mine from my education program at OUC. I love these girls. I really am super lucky that I am continually surrounded by amazing people! Jen, Danni, Heather, Candy, Jess and I did a gift exchange. (all there excpet Jess is in China and Candy was honeymooning in Mexico - lucky newlywed).

It was so cool to hear about Jen and Heather's classes and to dream about Danni's new adventures... she is going to Australia in 2006! Keep posted for her blog that I will link, right, Danni! Anyhow, I just want to thank these girls for being so awesome and, once again, you make me miss living closer to you! I miss you tons!
