There are very few memories of my childhood that don't involve my friend Kris. I'm trying really hard these days to not call her Krissey. I've known her since I was 3, she lived just 4 doors away from me, went to the same schools, same college, we were in each others weddings, we were pregnant both time together and became moms at the same time. We still talk as often as our busy lives allow. We try to get together for weekend vacations and fun with our kids. She has a son Kyra's age and twin boys Nik's age. The kids love seeing each other!
This past weekend she went above and beyond the friend duties. She took my kids for a play date, dinner and a movie without me. While I would have loved to be visiting with her over a cup of coffee as the kids played, I was in the urgent care with my mom while she got IV's for a leg infection.
So what do you do to tell someone how much the help meant when words alone just don't seem to be enough.
A sneak peak of our new pewter banners. They will be available on our website in the early fall! There are 9 different sayings. I've been keeping these under wraps for the last several months, but finally had to share. Good thing Kris doesn't have time to read my blog with 3 boys home for summer break.
Kris and her husband Evan just bought a beautiful new house and I thought this would look great hanging on her wall to remind her of how lucky and blessed she is. And how blessed I am to have known her for 42 years!
Thanks again Kris for everything!
Last night we ran off and joined watched the circus. Circus Vargas came to San Luis Obispo, so we had to go. It was everything I remembered as a kid, only better since I got to watch it through my kids eyes. I had to take the pictures in vintage hipstamatic feel as a homage to the circus of my youth. Isn't that how a circus should be?
The show was simply amazing. The performers were talented and the kids had so much fun. Aerial acts, motorcycles, balancing stuff on chins, hula hoops....on and on. It was a fun filled evening.
But the excitement didn't end when the show was over. Since Kyra has been doing aerial silks the owners of the silks studio set up an amazing special backstage tour after the show. Jon Weiss the host of the show could not have been nicer and more giving of his time. The stories he told and the memories of the evening will last a lifetime for my kids. Especially hearing about him trying to balance a 16 foot ladder on his chin, in the middle of Home Depot before buying it and how many times he was shot out of a cannon when he was younger. If Kyra wasn't already wanting to run off and join the circus, now she does for sure. And I think Nik is hooked too!
So if you live anywhere near where Circus Vargas is performing. Go...Be a kid again and see the circus!
