they moved into the neighbourhood only a few years ago and i adored them immediately. erin is this exuberant and loving woman - you can't help but be in a good mood when in her company. she probably doesn't know it but she could make me smile on days that i didn't feel much like smiling. kai describes paul as 'cool', i think because he loves lego as much as kai and would happily care for kai on more than one occasion! lucy is full of energy, fun, and super sweet. although older than kai by a few years, and the other gender, they are such good friends. if kai was home and lucy was home, they were inseparable. sadly, it's going to be way too quiet at our house. it seems unreal that they will be gone in just one week; my heart aches at the thought.
i also can't help but worry about kai - he has already had one loss with mikey in november and now he is going to lose lucy. my heart aches for him too even though i have done my best to prepare him. i love this quote (sorry, i don't know the author) and have shared it with him,
"don’t be dismayed at good-byes. a farewell is necessary before we can meet again and meeting again, after moments or a lifetime, is certain for those who are friends."
erin, paul, and lucy, i know we'll be saying hello again. xoxo
other happenings this weekend included kai and i making a spy book, well the beginnings of one anyway. once complete, i will post a 'how to'. it's very cool. stefan and kai had a boy's afternoon out here. they had fun with experiments, making dna, and looking through microscopes.
and guess what i was up to on a sunday afternoon? yup, on grouse mountain again. it was just like last week except with more snowfall and fog. the powdery snow made for a more difficult climb! please forgive me as i bore you with more photos of trees and snow - but just one or three, ok?
and one of kai :)
