Henri's Birthday

At Paul's parents' house, they have Sunday supper where everyone joins for supper.  If it is someone's birthday, they get to choose the meal, cake, etc. 

Henri's birthday was celebrated today (Paul and my anniversary, BTW) He really liked the cake.

Church this morning

Tried out the local United Church of Canada this morning (their version of the United Methodist).  There are two in town, we tried the closer one.  It was nice, a little smaller than our home church and they have a small nursery, a children's drama room with a stage & costumes, a children's craft/creative room, a senior youth meeting room, a library (including children's books, they let Carter borrow two) and a nice kitchen.

And they like to move a service-1 hour in and out, lol!

Made it to Canada!

The trip went alright. The plane was empty and they didn't sell Paul's ticket so we got the entire row to ourselves on both flights. But we had a 4 hour layover in Chicago and I asked the agent if I could switch to a flight that left 2 hours earlier, seeing as the planes were empty and they said no because we had bags checked and they had to put us on the plane with our bags.




Then I got to Buffalo and our bags were already there! They put them on the earlier flight! I couldn't freakin' believe it!

Henri enjoyed the headphones and music

We also checked out the Children's Museum spot in O'hare.  Our first day here, we headed to the mall for some small things we needed for Karen's wedding and did some rides:

Random Pics-part 2

Carter's new haircut

I came home from a meeting to find Carter had made about 12 "robots"

I made aprons for my MOPS table for our Thanksgiving meeting

My new haircut

Henri likes taking everything out of the pantry.  Related to his big brother, I guess

Henri's Birthday

We had a great cake-chocolate w/ ganache from mom and some Neopolitin ice cream.  Henri really enjoyed himself!

Yep, that is Henri standing!  He started standing for 5-10 seconds at a time Saturday...

More pics of the Children's Museum

Here's the rest of the pictures.  Sorry, still figuring out how to add more than one picture to a post, and I fell asleep during the upload last night!

Trip to the Children's Museum

Alright, I'm sold... the more adults in your group at the Children's Museum, the better.  Amanda, Jodi and I took the kids, so we had 2-4 year olds, a 3 year old, a 2 year old and two 1 year old with us.  We could totally split up and kids got to do whatever they wanted.  It was wonderful and way less stressful.  Yes, I still wanted to take a nap after (they kids did), but I didn't feel like I'd been hit by a train.
