Saturday evening was another night of fun for our local group of Waiting Mommies. Those at this dinner were: (back row l to r) Michelle, Dolores, Kathy, Doris, Bev, Lisa, Leslie (front row) myself, Liz & Ava, Julia, Suzanne, Deb with a sleepy Mercy and Lori.
We enjoyed the wonderful company of our guest Doris who was in town for the weekend. It was GREAT having you with us Doris! Hopefully you can come again soon!!
This was the first time that we were able to meet Mercy and oh what a sweetie she is! Absolutley adorable and too precious for words! I think all of the excitement was too much for her and she quietly fell alseep in her (Mickey Mouse! :o) stroller. I'm so glad you and Mercy were able to be at the dinner Deb. You help to encourage all of us.
Little Miss Ava lit up the room with her smiles and giggles all around. She will never know how much her 'lap hopping' did for all of these mommies who still hold their children only in their hearts.We were happy to celebrate Rhonda's birthday with her. Happy Birthday Rhonda! Hope you had a great day of celebrations!
One of the fun parts of the waiter was our great waiter John. He made us smile, was a great guy and called us all by name as he noted our nametags. Psst....don't you think this adorable guy could be Mr. Bean's son?Thanks for another wonderful dinner ladies! See you November 9th.
And...if any of you bloggy friends from near and far want to join us, just let me know. Doris joined us this time and we're SO GLAD she did! We're always welcome to new people coming and 'guest visitors' from across Canada and the US are always welcome!
Oh my word!!!! You outted Rhonda...I'm in shock....gasping on the floor ;0)

ReplyDeleteah shoot. i am so sad i missed it. i 've only been to the one dinner and it did so much for me. to be around other waiting moms.
ReplyDeletei can't come to the next one either :( we will be away.
if anyone wants to get together for a dinner out in october just for fun, i'd be up for that. i hate that it will be january before i can see everyone and chat.
very cool. and some beautiful girls to boot!
ReplyDeleteI was just catching up on your blog and you have such a rich life filled with wonderful friends. I just love reading your blog :D Maybe you will realize soon that Ontario is nice but GA is warmer and you don't need a asnow shovel :D
ReplyDeleteI want to come to one of your waiting mamas dinners - its just so far! Maybe next summer when I (hopefully!) come to Ottawa for FOI's annual picnic - but then *hopefully* I won't be a "waiting" mama anymore!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fantastic night!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great time we had. It was nice to finally meet you and some others.

Looks like you all had a great time! One of these days I will try and make it down too ...

ReplyDeleteSorry I missed out again. I'm going to have to talk Mike into a weekend in Toronto for one of the dinners (since it's too long of a drive home)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a BLAST!!!! Maybe one of these days I'll have to make the trip back up to the Great White North :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun group! Great idea to have name tags! I jsut assume they had their names, baby name, and lid? I will have to suggest this to our next gathering?! See you soon!

Looking forward to November...was sad to have missed it!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for November so I can re-connect with old ones and meet all the new mommy's in waiting. Olivia is becoming quite the toddler now. I'm sure I'll be sweating chasing her around.
