Sherry is my Hero

I have always planned to write Sherry a note expressing to her how much I appreciate her and cherish her friendship . . . and it has been delayed far too long. We have become such good friends over the years . . . which is fantastic considering our husbands are bonded for life. We enjoy many of the same hobbies and interests and always have great conversations together. But, all of this was taken to another level when Sherry helped me and the kids move to Canada. While Jeff and Jory drove the Penske truck full of our belongings across the country, Sherry and I were flying to Toronto, staying in a series of hotels, and securing my work permit at the border (arguably, Sherry and I had the more difficult journey). Autumn and Gavin quickly became tired of hotel life and had more than one moment (okay, many, many moments) when they were outwardly expressing their frustrations. Sherry was an absolute angel . . . truly. She helped in every way I asked and more without one word or even suggestion about being annoyed. We had such a great time all together in Toronto for our first week. And, I cried all over again when Jeff drove off with Sherry and Jory in the car on the way to the airport. I hope you both come back to visit us soon!

By the way . . . all of this about Sherry, PLUS, she is an amazing photographer. Not just because her pictures continue to amaze me and get more and more beautiful, but also because - once again - she patiently deals with Gavin as he clings to Jeff while screaming and Autumn who refuses to look at the camera or smile and Jeff who just wants the photo session (and torture) to end. I am so happy with the pictures so far and can't wait to see more. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

  2. These pictures are so great! I wouldn't expect anything less...you are such a darling family!

    Okay, how to get the list of recent posts, go to Customize, Add a Gadget, Blog List. Then add everyone's info. It takes sometime to get everyone added, but well worth it! (i just copied and pasted from a word doc) If a blog is private, it won't show their recent posts. Let me know if you have more questions!

    Sherry, your photographs are awesome & are such a pleasure to view. Thank you & Jory so much for helping Karen, Jeff, & their kids on the long & trying move. Very few people would have done that.
