a day all together

we flew through the night

last monday night

and landed in halifax at 7:00 am

tired but excited to see the kids

we were grateful that dave marshall picked us up

and loaned us his car and his phone.

so great to have good friends.

the first thing we did, after dropping off our luggage at karen's place

was go round up the kids

and go out for breakfast together

bob and the boys walking together in halifax

sibling love

all together at the waterfront in halifax

we wandered along the waterfront

talking, catching up on news,

laughing and taking touristy

photos

the Mcdonald bridge from halifax to dartmouth

we used to come to the waterfront all the time

and try to climb the wave.

no one was willing to do it this time though.

shucks.

apparently david told me there is a video out there of

me climbing to the top.

it isn't as easy as it looks.

i was tempted to try it!!  

after spending part of the afternoon at karen's

catching up on lost sleep, visiting with friends etc

we decided to go to jamieson's for dinner

it was wonderful to be together and also to see 

terry and marsha

david and emily waiting  in the lounge for our

table to be ready.

david flew out of halifax at 7:00 pm

so we ended up having 12 hours together

it was short but sweet.

this was taken at the airport.

i love this photo of all of them

saying goodbye isn't easy

but love supercedes distance or time

and i am grateful for the time we had together

emily and mattie are still in 

dartmouth and we have been enjoying spending time with them

it does my 'mom heart' good to be near them, to listen to them,

to help them in any way we can while we are here.
