Following spring time tradition in Québec, we spent a sunny afternoon at http://www.bouvrette.ca/cabaneasucre/accueil.htm with our friends the Lavergnes. Good times on a slow train! Baby bunny onboard the sleigh-ride All aboard! Sweet maply goodness No instructions required And that's where it comes from!

The girls took care of washing and drying the shells they collected on vacation. There were a few really good ones. And lots of variety (rocks, coral, bits of wood, concrete...)

"Mine was pretty good. What did you do today, Estelle?" "Play!"

Thank-you Olivia and Katherine for dropping in for dinner on Saturday. Here are the best pics we could manage of the three cousins together. In case you didn't know, Olivia is a full biped now. She has been walking for a few weeks and is completely steady and confident in her stride (possibly a little swagger showing...) Downhill from here! Possibly the best one?

We just returned from a week's vacation down in the Caribbean. It's no wonder so many Canadians love to fly south for a little break from the cold weather. We spent two days in Miami followed by a five day eastern Caribbean cruise. It was just wonderful and here's the proof... (for you hard-core blog fans, the photos run past the bottom of the page. Use the headings in the right sidebar to view them all: Miami I + II, Carnival I, II + III, Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay, and Nassau) Lounging at Sadigo Court Hotel, South Beach Daddy made it from Columbia! He got delayed and had to meet up with us at the airport in Miami. The painted toenails have arrived Want some ice cream, Daddy? Our apartment suite

Meme and Pepe made it to Miami! Father and Son Alice playing in the sand - watch out for the Portuguese man o' war. Actually, we found out that people were advised against swimming at Miami Beach, due to the large number of Portuguese man o' war that had washed up with the strong winds. After about 20 minutes at the beach, Alice complained of sore fingers and a sore leg. It was indeed a little red and swollen, but we figured she must have been stung by a mosquito at our hotel. Later that night, after a dose of Benadryl , we researched the man o' war, and found it to look exactly like the "blue bubble" she had picked up on the beach. So our beachcomber was actually stung by a marine invertebrate ! Lucky girls getting a ride Two small girls and one big tree

Alice invited Estelle onto her top bunk a few times. Half of our stateroom. We had a porthole window to look out to sea. Room for 4 in this king size bed. Happy swimmers So many people enjoying the sun
