Crawling!

Here are Belle’s first crawling “steps!” This was before Halloween, and she powers all over the place now.

Grandma and Grandpa Armstrong Visit

Mid-October, my parents popped in for a visit. We had a fantastic time just exploring the trails around the house and checking out some spots around town. We even had an early birthday dinner for Michelle at a Mexican place we’d been wanting to check out (thanks Mom and Dad!). It was a super simple […]

Belle and Dog Hanging out on the Bed

Cooper is such a good boy.

Banff!

So I’m still a little behind, but here are some pictures of our trip to Banff. Having had an early Thanksgiving dinner thanks to Guy and Shirley in Langley the weekend before, we headed out to the mountains for some fresh air and relaxation on Thanksgiving weekend. We arrived Friday night and walked into town […]

Visiting with Sylvain and Family

Sylvain, Denyse, Stephanie and Antoine were fantastic hosts for our visit to Quebec City! They took us in, drove us around AND made me the best poutine I could ever hope for. One of my top goals for visiting Quebec was to eat some authentic poutine, and despite everyone thinking I was a little crazy, […]

Along the St Lawrence River

Sylvain took the day off on Tuesday, and him and Denyse drove us up the northern bank of the St. Lawrence for the day. It was a fantastic idea, and we got to see all sorts of great sights. Seaside towns, country villages, ski resorts, all topped off with cheese and beer at the Fairmont […]

Quebec City

Our day in Quebec starting off with Sylvain, Michelle’s brother, driving us into town on his way to work (he works at the base of the citadel). He’d picked us up at the train station the night before, and we’d had a great evening catching up and saying hello to the family. After he dropped […]

Getting from Cottage Country to Quebec

We left Severn Lodge on Sunday morning and headed back to the cottage to help Yvon and Claudine bring some things back to Toronto. They were putting us up for the night, and we had our huge Dodge Charger, so we were happy to load it up. Little did we know, the Charger didn’t have […]

Craig and Katie’s Wedding

The wedding was the event we’d arranged the entire trip around, so we were pretty excited to pull into the Severn Lodge Friday afternoon. We weren’t disappointed, as it was a fantastic wedding, spread over three days, in a gorgeous property on the lake. We spent our time eating, swimming, relaxing, boating, dancing and occasionally […]

Alliston and the Aldens

We decided to take the scenic route from London to Alliston, and on the recommendations of Arik, Charis and Shirley, we went through Mennonite Country! It was great advice, and not only did it save me from falling asleep behind the wheel on another boring highway, we were able to stop at the St. Jacobs […]
