Friends...

What a blissful, BUSY few weeks we have had! It is finally that time in Maine where the weather is cooler and sunny, no bugs to carry us out of the yard and tons to do, so what does that mean? Visitors! It is so great to catch up with all the wonderful people who moved away and love to come back. Why can't we just build a town where we all live?! Bliss!
Nicole is in Tasmania working on her Ph.D. and we are lucky enough to see her a few times a year when she comes back to Maine. She has such a fun energy, both kids love to be around her. I always love hearing about her adventures and fun she has enjoying life.

Sweet little Zora and her parents came to visit from LA.

Zora's momma, Cindy, is such a good friend of mine - I wish we had the chance to connect more. I am hoping they will someday move CLOSER!

Our friend Heather came from DC to catch up with life in Maine. She is always such a joy to be around and I love that we have the chance to see her next time we hit DC.

Heather was staying with friends of ours and their son Peter got to come play with AnaSofia and Kasper while the mommas visited too. You can see AnaSofia and Kasper love their buddy Peter!

It had been 3.5 years since we saw Heather and Haley. I babysat Haley while her Momma went to school occasionally and was really sad when the two of them left. They only live a few hours away but we don't get a chance to see one another enough. I couldn't BELIEVE Haley and how mature and amazing she was. I am hoping AnaSofia will get to grow up around her a little more to learn some of her wonderful ways!

And finally our amazing babysitter Meghan who we might not see as much now that summer is over - she wows AnaSofia and Kasper by pulling up on her motorcycle (yes, very cool), building forts, making bracelets and playing outside. We've loved getting to know her.

Just a little journal of our few weeks of friends. It has been a special time. Hope everyone has had a chance to reconnect with those they love even if it is by telephone or mail. I took the time to mail a few handmade packages this week that I hope made some people smile. Nothing is better than a surprise gift, right?!
