This week...

What a busy week we had! On Monday Mamie and Papie packed up their van and headed home, on Tuesday Zozo had school, on Wednesday, Jessica watched Zozo and Madeline while I went up to Alix's school to help out with Eureka! - it's a hands-on science experiment that they have every 6 weeks or so. Then on Thursday it was back up to Alix's school with Madeline to watch the class while the kindergarten teachers had their monthly meeting - Zozo rode home from school with Jessica! And then today, Jessica's daughter Rylie (in first grade) had her field trip, so Chase (Zozo's good buddy) came over to spend the day, we went to the park, and watched a movie and did some colouring, .... great fun was had by all! And now Zozo is back over playing at Chase's and Madeline is still sleeping so I've got a few minutes to just relax after our very busy week!!!

Tomorrow we are having family pictures taken with the same photographer as last year (http://www.jpatphotography.com/) for those who remember last years shots - they were AMAZING and i can't wait till tomorrow morning! P.s. if you check out his website...there are pictures of the girls!! so cool!!

Next week we are leaving on Thursday morning very early to go and spend Easter with Grandma in Victoria. Since it was ALOT cheaper, we are flying to Seattle and then driving and taking the ferry across to Victoria. At least the ferry will be entertaining for the girls, but I'm sure they'll be ready for bed by the time we get to Grandmas for dinner!

Then when we get back from our Easter trip Bailey (my cousin and Alix's godmother) is coming to spend a week on her way home from her crazy-fun backpacking/busriding/general craziness trip in Central and South America! We can't wait to see her and show her around Houston and Katy!

I actually just got off the phone with Mamie and Papie and they are safe at home in Gatineau and though they miss their three girls in Houston, are happy to see the other three grandchildren they have back home!

More to come soon....stay tuned!!

Bye, Bye, La visite...

This morning we said "goodbye" to Mamie and Papie and sent them on their way...I'm not really sure the girls fully understand, but I'm sure they'll be telling us all about it in the nest few days! So the coffee maker will get put away until their next visit, and the house will recover from having 7 people in it and then things will be back to normal. But not for long!

Easter is comming and this year we are travelling to Victoria to visit Grandma, as well as many others who we didn't get to see at Christmas! We'll be in Victoria from April 9 to the 14th and then Bailey should be dropping in on us for about a week! By then it will be almost May and summer will be just around the bend - I'm still figuring out summer activities for the girls (to preserve at least some of my sanity!!)

Spring Break 2009

The first few days of Spring Break this year were cold and rainy (cold by Houston standards!!!) but after that the weather was beautiful and we were able to have lots of fun!! Both Alix and Zozo were out of school so everyone couls come (this does not happen often!!). On Thursday we spent the day with a few of our neighbors - we visited the Bluebell Ice Cream factory in Brenham TX, yum, yum...but no pictures of that since we weren't allowed cameras ;0( Then in the afternoon we went to this Monastery where nuns raise miniature horses (not ponies....) It was so much fun, there was a tiny one that was only 5 days old!!! So cute, no bigger than a Labrador! Then today (Saturday) since Daddy was living it up in Vegas, we went to the beach with Mamie and Papie, the weather was great and we had a great picnic lunch!
