Visited Ange's twins

Hey Family!
Krista signing on. First off, Dano, you look awesome! Keep it up because we're taking "after" photos at the May 2-4 party at J's cottage and sending them to Marksdailyapple. I'm hoping we'll get a bit of suntanning in before then, but so far, it's been a cold spring.
Anyhoo, back to me! J and I just got back from a nice visit to Sandy and Brian's home in Sharbot Lake. It's just 1.5 hours past J's cottage, maybe a half hour outside of Tweed. So we told them we can all meet up at the cottage when mom and dad visit after the wedding! Benefits of an 8 bedroom cottage!
Ange's kids are super cute and good kids too. She has them trained like a drill sargeant! Don't mess with the RCMP eh?
Here's some photos of the whole crew and of their nice little home. They're just off Sharbot lake. REally pretty place.

Primal, yo.

See? Remember how much of a fatty fat I was after returning home from South America, last Christmas? Well... look at me now! ahaha! No, but seriously, I feel pretty good! I haven't even gone fully Primal yet. As a matter of fact, I've really only cut out wheat and sugar... mostly... I still drink a ton 'o draft beer (I mean come on... I'm in a bowling league) and I haven't started any sort of exercise regime yet, but it's amazing what one little tweak in your diet can do! I don't even feel like I have had to sacrifice anything yet! I look forward to this summer. BBQ's full of meat and huge salads made with all fresh fruits and veggies... mmm... Oh! and Primal Sangria in the sun! I am going to try to organize an Ultimate Frisbee league too. And start walking to and from work. Should help keep this ball rolling. Anywho! I'm off to see a HUGE Queens of the Stone Age concert at The Metropolis. I'm PUMPED! Figure I'll be able to weasel my way backstage to hang with the band after the show, with this new bod of mine. haha!!! sorry... had to do it.

Noé is better, baby has a fever

Great.

when will it end???

Noé is home with me... again, laying on the couch... again, whining and crying... again. I had to pick him up from the daycare yesterday cause he was pucking all over the place. Great, so now he is puking all over the place here. When will the sleepless nights, the puking, the runny noses, the coughing, the fevers and the fussing be over???

Mad lions in my house

Noé's favourite game these days is pretending to be a lion. He loves crawling around on all fours and letting out giant roars to scare the baby. For breakfast, JL set out some Madeleines. I asked Noé if he would like some Madeleines. He answered quite enthusiastically Ya, Noé wants some mad lions! *roar*.

Happy Birthday Ol' Dad!!

I think 'nuff said' pretty well sums it up for me! I've been thinking about home a lot lately and missing it even more. I want to come home for a visit, so badly! Thought about you's guys while staring at my frozen computer monitors. I was in a chipper mood. While surfing the net, I saw the 'risk of frostbite' and thought 'hmm... I wonder if they're still sleeping in the trailer'? It sounds like you have been keeping warm and having fun with all the Rendezvous-ing and dancin'!

I was glad to say goodbye to February and to welcome March today. FebruLarry is the worst. I've smelt the smell of spring around here these days and it smells good! I was hoping to see The Mertch this March, but The Mertch is getting Married this August. So this March, I don't get to see The Mertch... after all. Visit is an order soon, sisters.

We'll have to chat soon... it's been a while!

Love ya!

And now, some of my favourite things that I have taken from dad over the years;
Punkin', Lil' Worm, 'Chikay'-sp?, a sixth toe, a logical, critical and analytical thinking mind - which goes hand in hand with the incredible ability to always be right, great teeth, curly hair - lots of it, 'Ya know Martin?' and finally, a love for The Habs, The Herbs and The Hops.

P.S.
We always love each other!

What a Dude!

Happy Birthday Papa!!!

Well Ol' Dad, 63 years you've graced the people around you with your charisma, brilliance, affection and of course, charming good looks (I only say this due to the many comparisons I get from people).
Thank you for the wonderful gifts you have given me, the love of music, the ability to be at times quite amusing, and the helplessness of crying at the drop of a hat. I imagine you have at least one or two more silver hairs on your.... beard (I was going to say head but, well... slim pickin's up there these days)

Love you and miss you so much, wish I was there to celebrate over a couple o'Yukon Golds with you today.. that will just have to wait for the summer, with our toes cooling in the Atlantic!

Remember the most important thing in this outfit!

Love ya, Buggsie

Happy Birthday Dad!

After all the years of hard work, putting up with kids, planning the house and finally building it, looks like you have been saving this moment precisely for your birthday. So today I hope you will put up your feet and watch the view from your sunroom, take a hot shower in a space larger than 2 foot square stall, cook up a gourmet meal while being inspired by the view of the lake and mountains and fall into bed in a soothing and peaceful bedroom with a real bed. In other words, finish the house and move in already!!!
Luv ya! Mouse
