What fun!

We arrived at Howard and Penny's yesterday afternoon after stopping by James' work to drop off some PS2 games and for a quick hug - we'll see him on Sunday on our way home. From there we went into Mississauga where Bern's favorite barber is. His haircut took every bit as long as mine does!! But, it does look nice - and, he feels 100% better. His eye is healing nicely, too.

After a nice cup of tea and chat (Pen loved her invitations), Brad, Nev and baby Bella Noelle arrived loaded down with all the essentials for a traveling baby! I'd forgotten that part. It was so good to see them. The baby is adorable! We got a chance to hold her and cuddle her - it was very special. They loved the little pink blanket, hat and scarf I made for her. She will have to wait a while to wear the hat. Right now, she could use it as a sleeping bag!

My favorite part of the day, however, was getting to have some one-on-one time with Nev. There always seems to be so much activity any time we're together, but this time we had a lovely talk while Bella nursed and then fell asleep. It was lovely! Nev, if you're reading this - I love you, sweet girl.

We had a beautiful dinner of salad, lasagna and garlic toast. Penny made a lemon pie to die for. It was amazing! She always worries that the pastry won't be as good as mine - but, this surpassed mine. Way to go!

After the kids left, we got down to real business - that is, Hand and Foot. Penny and Howard teamed up against Bern and me. The first two hands, we couldn't get a card to save our souls! We made a valiant come-back attempt with the last two hands, but they were too far ahead. We'll get them today, though!

Here are some pictures of our day yesterday:
