Whirlwind visit!

Diane came for a whirlwind visit on Thursday... as you can see from this wonderful picture of Mom, Diane and I... we had a great time!

We visited with Julie & Cali, Steph, Lilah & Declan... (ooop...posted the picture with Declan making a funny face!)

So here is how cute he is! He does smile now, however, haven't been able to catch the moment!

We also visited with Bryon, Holly & Brian in Coquitlam for supper that evening...all those visits in one day!

Spring Fling! Our visit to the Island...

Baby Aaron showing us 'his stuff'...what a little jumper....and a roller too! Although we only saw him roll over once, he definitely did it!


A very proud Auntie Julie with Aaron...



...and a very proud Auntie Katie & Mama with Cali & Aaron!



We also managed a quick visit with Kristy and Paul!

Julie & I stayed overnight instead of the usual long day taking the ferry both ways...the jury is still out in whether the night over was better...rustling sheets, a wakeful baby and apparently Nana snoring made for a long night for Julie...however, we had a wonderful visit with Katie, Ian & Aaron!! (poor ol' Lucca seems to be taking the back burner these days...and with the patter of baby feet!!) :) As usual, it is hard to leave to come back home...we'll have to start planning our next trip over!

Busy Weekend!

Julie, Cali & I had a great visit with Mom on Saturday morning! Mom was so happy to have Cali on her lap! Cali was so well behaved and quite a popular little girl with all the residents!

On Saturday afternoon, Elliott & I took James & Jody to meet their family in Lytton! It was an honour to be there as they met their family members & maternal Grandmother for the first time. She was so happy to see them and said 'Now I can go to town!'... she has been patiently waiting for them to come home. The family will have a welcome ceremony for them in April.

Finally, some pictures from Cali's first Birthday Party!
