Sun, Site-Seeing and our Friend Stef.

Our South African friend Stef came through for a visit this week, on her way to London. So we did a bit of site-seeing, a few BBQs and had some good chats.

Stef is one of The Sweetest and Kindest souls I know and we loved our time with her.

Wednesday we went to the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto for a bit of culture...

That All May Know His Work.

I want some of these for our place.

Totem poles.

...and got some gourmet hot chocolate...

On Thursday, Shirley and I introduced Stef to the famed Tim Hortons....

...and to Niagara Falls.

We had a picnic of course.

We love you, Stef. Thanks for coming!

Kyle & Jess are Getting Hitched.

(I love this pic.)

Yeah, love these next ones too....

(Have you noticed how gorgeous Jess is? Yeah...)

Jonathan and Kyle grew up together and did all the crazy things boys do in childhood from basketball to sleepovers, from vacations to street hockey. Brothers from another mother, they were inseparable.

When Kyle contacted us a few months ago about shooting their wedding, Jon said "YES" without hesitation. We love Kyle, Jess and Anabelle. They are such a sweet family and we are looking forward to continuing to make a few hundred more memories with them in the future.

We are SO HAPPY for you guys.

And a happy fourth of July to all my American peeps. This is especially appropriate because Kyle's dad is American and Kyle spend many a day on the south side of the border, getting in touch with his American roots.

Enjoy the fireworks, y'all.

xo.
