I arrived in Kitchener about 10:30 am at my sister Donna's home. We had a nice visit out on her patio in the shade, as it was the warmest day so far this Spring. After our visit I headed out to New Hamburg to go see our kids.
Paul was at work, and Liz was sleeping after a 12 night shift at the hospital, so I got myself some lunch and hung out with Bandit in the park until she was up. We had ourselves a coffee on the porch while we waited for the kids to come home from school.
Once Josh, Chloe and Briar arrived home us girls headed out for a walk with the dogs. By the time we got home Paul was on his way with the boys, Aiden & Connor as it was their weekend to come visit.
Liz got dinner ready for everyone, but before we sat down for it, I asked them to come outside with me.
I got the really Mom, what's up "look" from Paul, as he was hot and tired from a long day at work. Then it was from both Paul & Liz the "really" look, I can't believe it !
Not only were they both surprised the were also very happy Rob and I gifted them a Dishwasher for their Wedding Gift.
This is the reason Rob & I thought they should have their wedding gift early, as there is ALWAYS dishes needing doing at their house.
Once we were done dinner, and Paul had a quick shower the 8 of us headed out for a walk with Mercedes and Bandit. It was nice to get out to walk with the balmy breeze.
The boys are getting themselves a sandwich for a bedtime snack, and then maybe we will watch a movie on Netflix.
I am happy to be here with our kids, but I still miss my Rob who stayed behind, Just North of Wiarton & South of the Checkerboard.
that was a nice surprise you gave them and a very useful one at that!
