Danielle's Visit!

So, Danielle came up on Wednesday to visit me from Cape Breton for a couple of days!!...While I still have the belly! (She's 4 months prego, but I'm much larger as you can see....:) We had a great time and I'm soo glad she was able to come...I know she missed the Rickster and Elliot, but I was so thankful she could come for a visit!! It's always awesome just to have down time together and catch up and just chat. Miranda came over on Thurs. and the 3 of us put together our new Bassinet which is SO cute!! Now I feel a lot more ready for baby to come- it's a big job to put that thing together- thanks girls! We also watched a very cute movie called "Someone Like You", thanks to Miranda's extensive chick-flick collection:). Anyways, we had an awesome time, and hopefully we'll be able to visit Danielle and fam up in CB sometime after the baby is born! We love you guys!
Here are some pics (Miranda has the ones of us setting up the bassinet- but here it is all put together):

Reunion!

Hi everyone! Sorry so long in posting, but now I have all kinds of news! So on Sat morning I was feeling kinda low- homesick for the city, etc. and Scott and I had a funeral to attend at 2pm at our church (someone I didn't know). Then Scott told me he had a surprise for me. I had no idea what he was talking about, but then he walked me over to our house, and standing on our front porch was Nathalie! I was so surprised! But then, around the corner came Meredith, Alicia and Karen Mitton! They came up from Hfx together to surprise me! What an awesome gift...I felt soooo blessed:):):) So they came, bearing baby gifts:), and dinner.

I invited Miranda over (it was so nice for my hfx friends to meet her and vice versa) and we all hung out, walked up to see the train station, ate dinner together and then all stuffed our shirts with balloons that Nat brought so we could ALL be pregos! We were up late catching up, especially about Nathalie's wedding (photos and video), and they all slept in the spare room together! (Except me and Scott:) It was like a big sleepover, or being at camp- yeah! The next morning we all went to church together, and they got to hear Scott preach, and meet some of our sweet church family. Then we went out to lunch at the Family Cafe here in town, and after downloading some pics onto our computer, they headed back to Halifax:( in Nat's car.

I just have to say how sweet it was for you girls to come up and visit me- it was so precious to see and catch up with you all- and you have no idea how needed your visit was, or of what a blessing you are to me. Thank you.:)
Karen, I can't believe you came all the way from Ottawa!! I love all you girls, and am so glad you all got to feel my belly and the baby as it moved around in there!:)

I truly have amazing friends.
