Happy friends

It is amazing how you become friends with people with just a very short relationship but a strong connection. I met my friends that now live in Orlando a few years ago through a common friend. We were neighbors but didn't get many opportunities to meet up before they left this city. For a while we shared something very strong in common, them and we were expecting babies almost at the same time. Theirs came first, and already in Orlando, Amelie was born a bit earlier than expected but healthy and filling this family with lots of joy. Our friendship continued in the distance, we went through tough times and happy ones together. And even though we don't get to see each other too often, we are always eager to get together and share some moments that will not be forgotten. Last weekend we went to spend the day with them and with little Amelie, since she is now a big 3 year old girl! Luca and I were both very excited.

I made this little apron for Amelie. I printed her name using a freezer paper stencil. It is so easy and the results are instant! I love that! She liked her new apron and she were it a lot the rest of that day!

Es incredible como se pueden crear amisatade con gente durante una relacion muy corta pero con una gran conexion. Conoci a mis amigos que ahora viven en Orlando hace algunos años a traves de una amiga comun. Eramos vecinos pero no tuvimos muchas oportunidades de juntarnos antes de que dejaran esta ciudad. Durante un tiempo compartimos algo muy fuerte, nosotros y ellos espereabamos bebes a la vez. El suyo llego antes, y ya en Orlando, Amelie nacio un poco antes de lo esperado pero sana y llenando a esta familia de felicidad. Nuestra amistad continuo en la distancia, pasamos juntos momentos duros y alegres. Y aunque no nos veamos lo suficiente, siempre tenemos ganas de juntarnos y de compartir momentos que no seran olvidados. El fin de semana pasado fuimos pasar el dia con ellos y con la pequeña Amelie, ya que es una niña grande de 3 años! Luca y yo estabamos emocionados.
Le hice este delantal a Amelie. Imprimi su nombre usando una plantilla de papel de congelar. Es muy facil y los resultados son instantaneos! Me encanta que sea asi! A ella le gusto y se lo puso un monton ese dia!

At the end we ended up spending the whole weekend at their place! and it was WONDERFUL! We had good food, good chats, good playtime, good cake, GREAT company and even a night out! Thank you so much for being such great friends!

Al final acabamos pasando todo el fin de semana en su casa! y fue MARAVILLOSO! Comimos muy bien, hablamos mucho, lo pasamos bien jugando, un pastel muy rico y la compañia INCREIBLE e incluso salimos de juerga! Muchisimas gracias por ser tan buenos amigos!

I am so happy you got to go to Orlando and had a great time there. It looks like Luca and Amelie had fun together. Aren't we lucky for having so many wonderful friends?

It was such a pleasure to have you. The two of you made Amelie's birthday so much more special. Your visit--and overnight stay!--in itself was a wonderful present and then we haven't talked about the beautiful apron :)
It was great to see those kiddos play together and have fun. Amelie is always making sure she has a plate ready for Luca when she is playing with a tea set she got as a present. He certainly made an impression :)

No hay nada mejor que disfrutar y relajarse en companhia de buenos amigos. La foto de Luquita con su amiga Amelie (que nombre mas lindo!, me recuerda la peliula)lo dice todo.
El delantal es una preciosura y el nombre te quedo perfecto.
Abrazos de los pasteles:)

Hi Carmen!

I enjoyed your stay with us very much! Amelie loves Luca.. It is touching how she imagines that he is there at tea time. What a blessing to have you and Luca as our friends! I am very happy that we met each other!
