Meeting Santa at the Train Museum (Nov 28th, 2010)

We, once again, have a membership at the Train museum! We might as well since it's so close to our home and we love trains! We went there with tante Caro, Marc-André and Antoine and spend the whole day with them! We even had supper at Marc-André's house. We also went to the museum with Kiran (the biggest train lover we know), his baby brother Cole and mom Carmen as well as his neighbours. We even had the chance to see Santa there.

I told Santa I wanted Nintendo DS games since I really enjoy playing video games. Santa is getting old, he had trouble distinguishing that I am a girl and not a little boy. I told him I wrote him a letter and drew him some nice pictures so that we will not forget what I asked for Christmas.

Surprise, Gabriel did not want to sit on Santa's lap! It's not a surprise I am just kidding. Gabriel is cligny as can be! We love him the way he is!

Antoine was not intimidated by Santa, he tried to pull his beard off! We all enjoyed eating the candy cane he gave us.


Gabriel and Antoine and the rest of the boys enjoyed Thomas the train, the miniature train.

Gabriel enjoyed being carried by mommy all day long. He was in a good mood for once.

Antoine is always in a good mood!

Nice happy family I would say. Caro and Marc-André will soon celebrate their first anniversary as a couple.

I was on fire! Happy as can be! I was so happy to be with my family. I cry a lot lately. I don't want to go to daycare. I miss Alexis)
I took this picture of Marc-André and his son. I love these two very much. Thanks Antoine for letting me borrow your Spiderman car and action figure.

Cole is a smiley baby.
So is Kiran! He loves play fight with my very strong mommy. Kiran will soon be three year-old!

Shadow got operated to remove another tumor this week... We hid the scar for you, it's pretty long this time around. He is getting over the operation fairly well. It's hard for him because he is always trying to lick his bobo.

After supper, we all took a bath together! It had been a while since I took a bath with 2 other boys! I was still living in Vancouver!

Gabriel was the king of the tub!

I take my bath with my baby brother almost every night since his birth.

Antoine enjoyed spending time in the tub with us too!

Me too!
He does have long eyelashes the cutie pie!

OTTAWA (November 21/22 2010)

I am starting to take control of the blog! I am choosing the pictures with mommy and I wrote this!

These were the people involved in this mini-trip. Gabriel's first trip. He went to a wedding in Rigaud when he was 2 weeks old... and he was already difficult back then. No surprise... he is still very difficult! I chose this picture for the battle of the eyelashes!

Who do you vote for? Gabriel or Maya?

We went to Ottawa to visit Noëlla. She has been friends with daddy since they were 9 years old! That's incredible! We stayed at her beautiful townhouse. Noëlla has lived all around the world and has been collecting amazing art pieces over the years. Her house is like an art gallery. We went to two museums while we were there. The Museum of Civilization in Hull was by far my favorite one.

We did all kinds of crafts I made a mask with clay. I also got to wear costumes and put on a mini-play. I really enjoyed that!

I was well behaved, I don't understand why mommy is trying to strangle me when it was Gabriel that almost deserved it!

We also had fun at the Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa. Noëlla came with us to this one. She is such a kind person.

My favorite activity at this museum was to run around in tunnels that were a replica of the pathways information uses to travel ion a computer! Daddy enjoyed taking incredible pictures in there but not going down a tiny slide at the end!

I got to use a periscope.

This whinny baby is well loved and taking care of by daddy.

I get along great with everybody even if I am overly sensitive at times and cry a little too much!

Gabriel is not being breastfed at night anymore! He still wakes up once a night for a drink. One day, he will sleep... my parents can keep on hoping.

I had fun dancing around on a car while chewing gum.

Gabriel prefers to drive the car. He started this week dancing a little for the first time.


I took this picture of dad and Noëlla. One day, I'll take the pictures, edit them, post them and write the blog all by myself!

Where is the water going mommy? (early November 2010)



From the tap, on me, to the drain... (yes, I still fit in the kitchen sink at 4)

Yes, I convinced Gabriel to come sit in the sink as well!

Did I tell the world that I ran into my aunt's kitchen counter corner on Halloween night? You can see how thick the counter is from my scars!

So where does the water go after leaving the drain? It's being cleaned up and release here! Wow the waves were amazing at the Rapids Park in Lasalle.


Gabriel is also a big fan of water. He was loving this excursion in spite of the cold. A life time ago my mom used to work there as an ecologist!

Halloween Day 2010


I met a few super heroes (Invincibles and Captain America) along the way! I was so impressed that they took the time in their busy schedule to come check on us to make sure we were safe.

We met Paul, with a mini cold super hero costume (Ironman).

Marc-André and Antoine were blowing to put out a fire.

Gabriel was happy for a good 5 minutes to be outside in the cold. Did you know it snowed last night. So Gabriel the Pirate had to become a fireman with the cold weather!

Tante Caro hosted a wonderful Halloween party and was disguised as a skier.

Antoine was a fireman as well. A dashing one might I add.

Mommy was a warm smiling witch.

Daddy was disguised as a 49ers fan. We did not see any other one, they are rare these days!

Charlotte was Jessica from Toy Story. Her costume was great. She even won best costume at her school.

Antoine showed Gabriel how to fix a pumpkin.

So nice.
Thank you grand-maman for playing with Gabriel while mommy and daddy were outside Trick or Treating with Charlotte and I.

Grand-papa got a hug from Gabriel.

Daddy is still strong at 35. I laughed like that until I ran into the corner of the counter top. You will see a picture of my black eye on the next blog!


I had a play date with Annabelle! Thank you mommy I had so much fun and I was so happy to see my old friend from daycare!
