Days Five and Six: Lunch and Wedded Bliss

On Friday, I was back from Toronto and rested after a few days with the bebes. Though Laura thought our day spent at the breastfeeding clinic and whisking across town to the pediatrician's office was relaxing (relaxing?!), I certainly thought it was exhausting. That said, it was hard to say goodbye to the little munchkins...they're just too cute for words.

After waking up late and hanging out over Starbucks, Alicia and I made our way to Burlington for a quick visit with my dad then an impromptu lunch at my grandparents'. Here's what's hilarious: Alicia told my Nonna that her mother nor her grandmother didn't cook. My grandmother was mortified. It's amazing how we learn to do things: we hang out in kitchens and watch our grandmothers and our mothers whip something up from nothing. Soon enough, we can do the same. Life is sweet.




Aren't they the cutest? I just can't get enough of them xoxo






Post lunch giddiness ensued



...as did a drive by the old high school. What a place! It hasn't changed at all. I think that's why I love coming back to Hamilton: it looks the same; it feels the same; it smells the same. Loves it.







Righto, moving right along. Steve and Auburn got married tonight. As I type this, the bebes are cooing while sleeping upstairs. They are the absolute sweetest pair of human beings I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I'm totally in love...way more than I thought I would be. Here are some moments from the day...

Love.

What an incredible ride this has been. And this is only day SIX. I am so looking forward to spending an amazing month with these people. Up next is a barbecue with my dad's family, a few days in Barrie with Leanne and Mark, and a weekend away spa-ing with Mummy. Life is good.
