A busy week for us with our loved one home to visit

On our way to London, Ontario!

It was a busy week right after VBS!

We attended a couple of social gatherings during the week and even managed to go away for a couple of days to London, Ontario, got together with friends whom we had not seen for over forty years!

The guys were manning the BBQ while the rest of us relaxed! 

It was good spending sometime with Anna and her family.

We caught up with each other and exchanged stories about our grown children.

We had a reunion with our elementary school mates!

 Josephine and her sister were there as well!

We came back to Toronto for F.'s fantastic BBQ at his house. E. sent an email telling us he would be home for the weekend as well on the same evening. It was perfect timing! We missed him when he was in Toronto recently and glad that we were home this time.

We were happy that  E. came home for his high school buddy, Eric's wedding. He came home straight from his  two and half week trip to Europe, and stayed for a few days in Canada.  He has changed job recently and he seemed to be so much happier, more talkative about his new job, his recent business travel in London, Stockholm and Cologne. We loved listening to these stories!

Theodore was born a few weeks ago; he's very cute and alert!

I didn't want to leave the house when E. was at home for the weekend. On Sunday, we were invited to Rose's house for a BBQ to see Richie's new baby. Theodore was just born a few weeks ago and looked absolutely adorable!

A new baby was born to the family!

As I was holding him, I talked to him and he followed me intensely with his big eyes as if he was listening to every word I was saying! It could be that the little fellow mistook my voice for his grandma's!

Wrapped in a cosy bathrobe, E. was working from home on Monday all day. I actually got to see and hear him in action!  He was working in the dining room while I was in the kitchen. All of a sudden, he rushed up to his room and changed into his work clothes. Shortly after,  I overheard him interviewing an applicant for new staff on Skype. He sounded very professional and knew exactly what he was looking for in the applicant applying for the job in his company.

We are immensely proud of our son! Praise God for giving him such a wonderful opportunity in the States!
