This morning I decided to make Sydney a special treat, chocolate chip pancakes. As I was getting breakfast organized, Sydney suggested that we eat outside. It was a great idea, it was a beautiful day and so lovely and fresh outside, so we carried our plates outside and enjoyed the early morning hours together over tea and the newspaper.
Sydney's garden is growing like crazy! She has a ton of blossoms on her pumpkin plant, I am so excited to see what begins to grow over the next short while!
After breakfast, Sydney and I drove out to sunny Tsawwassen to have lunch with my friend Melissa and her girls Ella, Madeline and Ruby. Melissa was my boss when I worked at Mackenzie and she and I quickly developed a friendship, especially when we were pregnant at the same time, Ruby and Sydney were born just a couple of weeks apart.
Melissa has a lovely home in Tsawwassen with a beautiful big back yard that the kids enjoyed playing in. Sydney loved the adventure playground complete with swings and a slide. She stripped down to go for a little dip in the kiddie pool too!
Another colleague, Sarah, and her kids Carlie and Liam, came out for lunch and a visit too. It was so good to get together and catch up on what we've all been up to and hear the latest about what's been happening at the office. We have all known each other for many, many years and in many respects these girls feel more like family than work colleagues. We've spent countless numbers of hours together and have made so many memories on work trips away. It's neat to have such a history with these gals and to also share motherhood with them and still stay in touch even though we no longer work together!
It was a fantastic way to spend the day enjoying the sun and some great company!
