Surprise!

It's not everyday I get to see my Canadian family. In fact I'm lucky if I get to see them (or some of them) every 2 years! Yesterday, my phone rang, and the caller ID said Bryant Brown. He never calls me, so I answered "What did I do?!" My Aunt Cathy started laughing and said Hi. I was in shock. My phone has been acting kind of weird lately, so my first thought was that the wrong caller ID came up. So I say, "How are you on Bryant's phone?" "THINK ABOUT IT!" I screamed, woke up most of the kids in the house and was so excited!!! She invited us over for dinner and told me not to tell my mom. Cathy's reason for surprising us all was for my mom's birthday, March 10th. We missed the surprise, but enjoyed a wonderful evening, talking, eating and of course laughing!!! :)

I adore this beautiful woman!!! She has always been an inspiration and joy in my life!!

And she just happened to bring my favorite cereal with her!!! (They are very different than American Corn Pops!!!)

Canada Part 1

This is part one because these are the photos I grabbed from Facebook, since my camera died on the way to Canada. :( But Mom has a lot of photos on her camera I need to grab. Anyway, there are a lot of photos and they aren't really in order, but I need to blog about the trip before I forget the details :)

This is Elisha and I one a shuttle at the LaGuardia airport. It had been a long day already and we still had one more flight into Halifax!

Sam and Juliet after a long day on planes. They both did really good, much better then we expected! :) But they were so happy to be able to stretch out and move! :)

Meeting Nanny for the first time. They both love her! (But who doesn't!)

Sam got to try his first 'cookie'. As you can see he loved it!

The family reunion was on Prince Edward Island (PEI). I've never been, and it is a beautiful place! I sure love my family. Above, the 3 prego's! Jennifer, me and our second cousin, Amanda.

Us being silly!

Sam, Danielle and I...and my Dad!

The whole family!

Christina and I playing with the babies :)

Me being pregnant!

My happy baby! ;)

You can still get Dunkaroo's in Canada!!

Sam was giving a lot of food in Canada. Here, my mom is feeding him white beans, and he loved them! (As you can see, he has one in each hand!) There are many more pictures of eating to come ;)

This was on the way home, in Detroit. They were actually sitting facing each other. Juliet turned and scooted back into Sam. He thought it was so funny, she wanted to keep scooting! 

We had a great trip. (Lots of traveling though) I love being with my family and hate that I don't see them enough. Sam did really good for the most part, but after about 3 days, was really missing Aaron and his crib. (Not always in the that order!) He was sure happy to be home.
