Back Home

We had a great weekend in Montreal - neither the drive nor the new surroundings seemed to phase the kids. We spent lots of time with the 5 year old twin cousins and so got glimpses of our future (pretty fantastic).

We also did some winter clothes shopping - see photos below. Molly in the blue and Jacob in red, both with lots of room to grow - ready for the chilly conditions that seem to have arrived. Yesterday we drove through a major blizzard in Barrie enroute to Toronto.

We went down to Sick Kids because we were concerned about how much pain the stretching seemed to be causing Molly. The physio was really happy with her feet and showed us some less strenuous stretches that should be fine. We're not going back until December 19th, when she may be able to get out of the boots except for at night.

Here's a photo of the kids' coathooks (fabulous gift from Lindsey & Serge). Also note my old lion, sporting the 1st place ribbon that I won as a wee 4 year old in England, possibly in a school potato sack race. Proving that my athletic brilliance had an early start.


I'm having an easy time of things now, as Kate's mom arrived last night. I got all sorts of errands done today (including the purchase of a snow shovel - we never needed one in Vancouver!) while Lois looked after the kids.
