Visit to Courtenay

On Nov. 15 I flew to visit Kim & the boys for a week. Yan is away on training in Nova Scotia. Murray came for the wknd & although it rained nearly every day we still had a great time. Nic & Luc are at that precious age where everything is fun to do with Grandma & Grandpa. I took lots of pics so it was hard to post only a select few. Murray & the boys star in many as I am usually on the other side of the lens of the camera!
Nic & Luc enjoying some brotherly play time.

Grandpa & the boys taking a juice break.


Lucas carefully studying Grandpa


Building a tower


Nicholas "helping" Grandpa clear out the eavetroughs between showers.


Three happy guys.


Nicholas spent parts of every day packing & repacking his Cars "pack back" with toys to take on the airplane when he goes to see Daddy at Christmas. Here he is riding his favorite toy - the ride-on dumptruck which goes real fast and skids around the corners.

Somehow Lucas managed a few seconds on Nic's truck before it was repossessed!


Lucas discovered the spoon while I was there.


Bath time with Mom


Cruisin with Grandpa on the one day it didn't rain!

The city bus stops right in front of the house so on Sunday Nic & Grandpa went for a ride - Nic's first.
Murray needed some physio so here Nic is taking a lesson from Mom on how to massage.


Notice he has now progressed to doing it on his own.


Doing stretches with Grandpa.


Luc is nearly always smiling so he & Grandpa had a great time.


We walked Nic to Playschool one morning and Luc tried out the new warm suit Kim bought him at the Craft Fair.

Smiling again!

Nic & I decorated some gingerbread cookies. It was fun licking off all the icing & decorations!

Grandma cuddling with the boys.
We tried to get Nic into one of my suitcases so he could come home with me but it just wouldn't close! Too bad cause we could have a lot of fun at the ranch.


Such a sweet bundle. Wish I could have brought him home with me as well.
Kim has informed me it stopped raining as soon as I left! Too bad I couldn't bring the rain back to the ranch with me. We really need the moisture.
