We had the blessed opportunity to join some dear friends of ours out at their home for the day. We know them from our lake, and we live far enough away from one another that we haven’t seen each other since this summer. We were honoured to be invited, and eagerly accepted their invitation. We got the kids up this morning in the dark, got them dressed and in the van. We grabbed breakfast at Tims and took the all to familiar drive in their direction. They leave closer to PA, which is the direction of our lake, and we really enjoy that drive! It was only fitting that we drove that way to spend the day with our camp people 💜
We spent the day chatting about our lives and catching up while the kids played hard as if no time had passed. They just fell right into one another. It did my heart sooooo good. Between the nonstop conversation, we ate delicious meals and yummy treats, and we even spent some time outside! They poured a bit beautiful rink, and we even shared a fire 🔥 which made it feel even MORE like camp! Summer can’t come soon enough! Though today was rich all on its own 😍
Once we got Solly back into boots, he was actually maybe the best first time hockey player from our family!! I was impressed!
These two have marriage plans in the works since they were informed their spontaneous summer marriage didn’t count 😆
Oreo was a very happy girl! She had a few boundary issues but even the little ones were less nervous around her by the end! Win!
These two ladies were basically attached at the hip. Miss Avery is SUCH a mommy 😍
We sat in the living room after supper, with only Christmas lights on. Their place was lavish with lights, and it felt so comfortable and lovely. We were at total ease, and that isn’t something that one just finds anywhere. Especially in our new circumstances, we haven’t been out in peoples homes yet at all, so this was a bit of a dry run, and it was smooth and simple.
We are SO grateful for today, with our friends. We anticipate so many more visits over the years to come! Sometimes friendships grow slowly, and sometimes there is an undeniable click. And we have found the latter.
Thank you Lord 💜
Goodnight friends.
