Happy Halloween

Last night we went out for dinner to Moe's with Tom and Debbie and they gave Michael a huge goody bag filled with candies and Magic card booster packs!  When we went to leave their place it started to snow out...ack!

Michael went trick-or-treating in Lorraine dressed as a skeleton.  We all went with him and froze ourselves solid, it is so darn cold out!  Mike spoke French at most of the houses and he ended up getting tons of candies!




to BC and back again!

I flew to BC to see my new little nephew (and my brother and sister in law of course).  My mom flew down from Terrace and we met up at the airport before driving to my grandma's house in Langley.

I also got to see my cousin Christy, her adorable little girl, Rylee and my aunty Kelly.

My little nephew is so tiny and so angelic. He is very good natured, hardly heard a peep from him, except when he was getting his diaper changed!

I was in 3 different time zones in one week so my inner clock was very confused the whole trip....

Happy 20th Birthday Jennifer!

Jennifer turned 20 on October 20th!  Hard to believe that my girl is all grown up now, out of her teens!

I flew to Charlottetown to celebrate with her and have a weekend away from the "boys".

We went to the farmers market and then the University for a tour on Saturday and  I walked around most of downtown Charlottetown on Sunday.

Jennifer cooked me a wonderful seafood dinner; mussels, scallops, shrimp salad with spaghetti squash and yam fries!

We went to the race track/casino and tried to figure out how to bet on the horses and after Jen took me to one of her favourite pubs, Hunters, where we had fun playing a trivia game.

Was a nice visit for both of us without being cramped in the RV and without the distraction of the boys!

Beautiful Fall Quebec days!

We are enjoying our time in Lorraine, Quebec.  The weather has been mostly good.  Beautiful fall colours with all the maple and oak trees!

I am flying to PEI to visit Jennifer for her 20th birthday this week and then off to Vancouver to see my new little nephew, Bradley!  It will be nice to have a one week break from the "boys".

Happy Thanksgiving from Montreal

We had a wonderful day at Jonathan and Yi's place on Thanksgiving Day.  Yi cooked her 1st turkey  and it turned out excellent!  Good job Yi!

 Mike had fun playing with his 2 nephews, Zephyr, 3, and Zavier, 2.

Jonathan was working on renovating their house while Terry went golfing with Yi's father.  Jonathan decided to not golf as he wanted to get the reno's done on his days off and you know Terry...he can never turn down a game of golf....

It was a beautiful fall Montreal day, and we are very thankful!

Good bye New York...Hello Quebec

After 3 weeks of R&R at Tom and Debbie's cabin we have now emerged once again into Quebec.  We spend 1/2 a day in Huntingdon looking up all my ancestors graves etc.  Found the old homestead on Morrison side road and found the foundation and the old barn.  It was kind of spooky to be there and I asked my dad to email me the photo of the house when it was newly built in 1898...over 110 years ago...all that is left now is some rubble.

We will be in Quebec at Terry's dad's house until early November...then back to the USA.

We have officially booked a week to camp at "Fort Wilderness" part of the Disney Magic Kingdom's resort.  We will have 6 days at Disney, Epcot, etc at the end of November!!!  Terry is less than thrilled but I am soooo happy (Mike is happy too)!!
