Family

Today, I'll be taking my son, his partner, and children back to Edmonton in order for them to visit some friends before flying back to Montreal. It's been a wonderful holiday!

I miss them already. Both Evie and Noah are such unique individuals as are their parents. We call Evie the little "Who" from Dr. Seus' "Whoville". She is petite, yet strong. She has tiny features and yet a strong personality. She is such a tomboy when it comes to playing, and yet she has latched onto a baby doll that we gave her and carries her around all day. Noah is fascinated by trains; anything he can make into a train, Thomas the train, and cars. He is sensitive and funny like his dad. He is also very clever when it comes to communicating with others. Both of these grandchildren are quite unique as I said, and it's hard to say goodbye. I haven't gotten tired of their company yet.

John did go down to surprise Jordan on his birthday on the 23 down at Wrentham. Jordan is so talkative that he had to tell me on the phone that Grandpa came to visit. And when I asked him how old he was now, he said, "I one". When we tried to tell him that he was two now, he insisted, "I one". Then off he went to play with some toys. He really has a hard time sitting still and he loves playing with anything that moves. He also is fascinated by machines: tractors, trucks, quads, etc. His mother and father are quite proud of him and what he can already do at two.

We are extremely proud of our own children for producing such well-rounded children. Not only do we love all of them, we are in love with them. It's wonderful when they come for a visit and we're always sad when they leave. Before they are out the door, we are planning the next visit, whether it's us going there or them coming here. Not many families can say that! I'm glad we are close.
