"My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world."
~Jack Layton, charismatic leader of the NDP (1950-2011)

Mr. Max Comes to Town

trying to make Maxwell laugh!
Jenn and Andrew and Mr. Max came down to visit over the weekend, and the family had a lovely afternoon together. Max is the sweetest little dude, and he's growing up so quickly. It feels like he's ready to take off running or mountain biking any day now :P. I love it when he chatters away to himself in a conversational tone. I wish we didn't live so far away from everyone...I am getting so used to being able to see everyone all the time. I quite like it!

Amy left this morning and on the train and is en-route back to Ottawa. It was so amazing to be able to visit with her this weekend. I miss my big cuz already. She is just a few clicks away, I know, but Skype just isn't the same as being able to see someone clearly and have their voice normal, not robo-tized :P.


What with all this relaxing and afternoons of chatting, I have been knitting up quite a storm! I am becoming a regular knitting machine. I have finished so many armbands that I'm kind of losing count. The latest colorway I've titled 'Seascape', in reference to the waters off Vancouver Island, and make me a wee bit homesick. Our stay is drawing to a close though, so I'm sure I'll be singing a different tune in a few days.
