Lunch with Friends.

Today we had a laid back lunch with Tim and his boys, Timothy and Marcus. They bought with them our dear friend Kelli who is visiting all the way from Canada. It is always wonderful to catch up with them, but esp. when Kelli is in town.

Fuzzy, Marcus and Squealy.



The weather was fabulous, not too hot or too cool. The conversation flowed over cocktails and BBQ lunch. The kids nibbled in between playing on the trampoline. They had a ball playing out the back with the all the outside toys.

Tim And Kelli.

String Bean just adores Kelli and spent most of her time telling her tales of her recent adventures. She is at the stage where if you'll listen she will literally talk your leg off. Kelli had to sit next to String Bean during lunch and she also had to help her when she had a blood nose later on in the afternoon.

Kelli and String Bean, cuddle time.


We were also the lucky recipients of a massive bottle of genuine Canadian Maple Syrup. A Christmas gift from our Canuck gal pal. Now not being able to eat chocolate in any form I have acquired a taste for the other fine things in life. Maple syrup being one of those. With such a huge bottle in the house I may even splash out and use it in some cooking. Although the kids are keen to have pancakes tomorrow morning. So we'll definitely use some up then.
