Summer Weekend


What a weekend! It was B.U.S.Y! In a good way. We met up with friends on Saturday night to go to an outdoor concert at a beautiful winery. The musicians are Canadian but were originally from Cuba and the cuban music they played was beautiful. But the scenery was even more beautiful. We brought our kids as did many other families and we all had a great evening.
The best part about this event was that you brought your own blankets to sit on, and your own picnic food. So we had coldcuts, lots of different cheeses, pepper pate, crackers, baguette, San pelligrino and the winery provided the wine. Papa was in heaven!
The girls were shy at first to get up and dance. But after a little while they were right up there dancing and acting goofy. Not to mention rolling down the hill on their bums and tummies and playing hide and seek in the vineyard.

I just have to mention that under this archway, on this white chair, I nursed Sophia at the end of the evening. And it was such a perfect moment. Sophia looking up at me, the moon shining brightly up in front of me, the wind blowing the scent of roses everywhere and the sound of Cuban music in the background, and watching Alex and Rachel running through the vineyard. I took a moment to thank God with everything that was great in my life.



We got home at 11pm. The girls were all exhausted and went to bed quickly. Again tonight we spent a beautiful day with friends at their home, swimming, eating together and enjoying each others' company and getting home at 10pm. It was a great weekend.
