Moving Into Montreal (June 2008)

Sorry for the delay everybody! As you will soon discover, we have been pretty busy!

I have been blowing bubbles all by myself, that's very hard to do, at not even 20 months, you know!

We first moved in with Grand-maman and Grand-papa while we were waiting for Papa to cross the country to join us.

Jason drove all day during 4 days in order to successfully move here.

We have finally moved in into my tante Caro's house. We are so fortunate to have so many people to take us in. We have been really busy, we are sorry if you have not heard from us in a while. It feels like we are on vacation, visiting relatives and friends, just like in the past 8 years... but the truth of our big come back here in Motherland is sinking in.

We have been enjoying the heat and the sun!

Here are a few of Maya's adventures over the last two weeks.

Maya had her first professional haircut. Before that, Maman did a bad job at trimming the bang and the hair over the ears. She did not like it at first, but finally settled on mommy's lap and allowed the hairdresser to do her job. She kept herself busy with eating rice crackers as you can see. Mommy also got a mcuh needed haircut. Unfortunately, she still wears a ponytail 99% of the time!

Before the haircut... Maya still love wearing her tatoos!

The crying before the haircut even started...

The final reveal, tan tan! No noticeable changes!

Mammie and Stéphanie got to spend more time with Aurelia!

This little girl loves having her picture taken and the camera loves her back, that's for sure.


Chris, the proud father of Aurelia, seems really really happy to have his best friend back in town.

We have visited Christine twice since we have been back.

Maya adores the bunny (sneezy who is 12 years old, he should have died of old age a long time ago, but he is still alive a doing fabulously). Maya is a little rough with Sneezy, we will have to work on that with her, if we want him to continue breaking longevity records.

Maya has been playing a lot with Shadow and Tante Caro. We have been able to enjoy the hot weather by going to spray parks and visitinf friends and relatives that have pools!

Maya also had a playdate with Carson (mommy Shirley and daddy Jeff). They had a lot of fun at the playground, especially when Maya was able to climb up the slide by herself and Carson could not (it was all the in the soles of the shoes).

Maya is fascinated by the size of the TV screens everywhere she goes. Pappie has a very nice HD giant screen, where she can watch Nemo.

Meet Ryan, Maya's cousin who just turned 3 and can already swim by himself. We were all impressed!

Here are Eric and Sandy with cousin Holly doing an amazing family pyramid. We had so much fun at their house to celebrate father's day.

We have a little video of Maya's accomplishment! She was so proud of herself!
