Meeting dear online friends IRL

My family and I were very blessed to have a lovely blogging friend and her family come and stay with us last weekend. Here we are - myself to the left albeit a bit bleary-eyed (one celebratory champagne at Erin's nephew's baptism? Maybe...) And a sparkling Erin and bubs!

Erin of course has her beautiful blog, Seven Little Australians plus One and thanks to her we have the Faith Filled Days website, where ladies can link into the best of liturgical living and planning throughout the year.

Erin and I met before we both started blogging, very briefly at a funeral a few years ago. It was then we discovered we had a very special, mutual friend. Later, thanks to Erin, my world opened wider and more wonderfully, as I was introduced to 4Real and blogging was the lovely flow-on effect from there.

So it was wonderful to have her dh and her whole family stay Saturday night, where the children all hit it off fabulously and what a blessed bunch of children Erin has, in all ways!

These moments are all too brief and Australia is a big, wide country...God willing we will meet again whenever we had back down to Sydney....somewhere in the future.

Erin has more photos in her posting Journey North.
