August 19th-21st in Montreal - More time spent having fun while waiting for the bus. Who says waiting has to be boring??? I say make your own fun!!!

Still Hoping

August 20th (day 2 in Montreal) - We came to your apartment again the next day in hopes to visit with you. Unfortunately there was no answer:( So down the street we went to explore and see what we could find. There was a beautiful park there so we got some lunch and played at the park for a while. We all had a great time but we were very sad that we hadn't got to see you yet.

As we were waiting for the bus we decided to pass the time by hacky sacking. Time flew by and soon the bus was there and we were on our way.

The Wheels on the Bus

August 19th-21st in Monteal : Here we are at the bus stop on our way to come and see you. This was our first day in Montreal and we didn't want to waste any time. Our #1 Goal for this trip is to spend some time with you.

Visiting you Soon Onyx

August 16th 2010 - This is my final blog post until I come to Montreal to visit you Onyx. Myself, MacKenzie, your Aunt Suzette (who is coming all the way from Japan), and your Nana are all coming to Montreal to see you. You are so big now and we really miss you.

Toes! Toes! Toes!

When Kim comes over for a visit there is one thing and one thing only that is on MacKenzie's mind - PAINTED TOES!!! Sorry Kim but you're going to be painting her toes every time you visit until she can do it herself.

It's a Wiggley Birthday Party

Saturday August 8th - MacKenzie's friend JJ turned 3 years old today. His absolute favorite TV show is "The Wiggles Show". At his party we made feather swords, ate birthday cake and played with balloons.

MacKenzie and I were on a shopping date at the mall. One of her favorite things about going to the mall is that we go to the food court for a snack. She usually gobbles up her food so fast I wonder where it all goes to. But on this particular day it was all about taking her time and enjoying ever single bite.

Blow that Horn

July 30th 2010 - We went to Grand Marais for the day. Grand Marsais is a small town along Lake Superior in Minnesota. It's about and hour and a half drive from Thunder Bay. We hung out on the beach, had the World's Greatest Donut and did a little shopping. MacKenzie had alot of fun with her new recorder - Daddy did too!

In Honor of Auntie Suzette

We thought it would be a good idea to get MacKenzie started early on using chopsticks. Just in case we ever make it over to Japan to visit Auntie Suzette.

So hard to say Goodbye

July 10th - Our friends Nick and Lindsay are moving away to fly over seas. So we went to a farewell BBQ at their parents house to say goodbye.

I'll Huff and I'll Puff

July 10th - Now that's a dandylion. It's almost as big as MacKenzie's head.

Here Comes the Bride

July 9th - Our friends Kyle and Lee got married on a beautiful and sunny day. This was MacKenzie's first time ever attending a wedding.For the special occassion she got a brand new outfit and a matching one for her baby.

When Sarah, MacKenzie and I went for a walk at Cascades Park we got caught in a Thunder storm. By the time we got back to the car we were already pretty wet and there were lots of puddles in the parking lot. Sarah thought it was the perfect opportunity to show MacKenzie how to splash in puddles - barefoot and all!
