The Newest Addition to the Family - Elina!

I remember fondly my childhood with my cousin Jon. Four of us are close in age: Greg, me (separated by a year), Jon (a year separated from me) and Ash (a year separated from Jon). We lived in the same neighbourhoods, had the same babysitters and went to the same highschool. Charlotte, Harriet, Anthony and Elina have a similar thing going on.

It was such a great day. My cousin exchanged vows with Rachel at Tabaret Hall, my old Ottawa U stomping grounds. It was absolutely amazing. She looked beautiful. I swear each song chosen to walk down the aisle was played with the intention of making me cry. My side of the family is very emotional and tears were streaming everywhere.

After the ceremony, we all left to dine at Capone's Catering. The hall was amazingly decorated. There were personal touches everywhere: miniature sweet silhouettes of the couple, the continuity of the blue and white theme, candy jars at each table for us to fill and mingle. It was such an amazing time and so nice to see my cousin find love. Welcome to the family Rachel and your beautiful daughter!

BIRTHDAY WISHES





Charlotte's Farm is almost complete!




We started our farm collection when we arrived in Montreal with a cow. We have since added a pig, an Asha from Grams and Gramps, and a horse from Mommy and Daddy on Charlotte's birthday. But wouldn't you know...Charlotte's best friend Hannah got her two more additions. A swan and a sheep (or as Charlotte likes to say a "baa"). Thank you so much Hayley, Hannah and Marcos. Charlotte is super excited!

The Pool





Each day, sometimes twice if we are up for it, we head to the outdoor pool about 200 metres from our house. It is amazing. There is a kids area with picnic table area and a larger pool that includes lanes and a diving board. I finally remembered the camera and here are some pics.
