Sneaky Surprise for a Sixty-fifth!

We were in Toronto on the weekend. I think it might have been one of the first times we have travelled south just to visit - with no appointments following the weekend. How refreshing!

We travelled for a great reason - to celebrate with the Bunton's! Barb arranged a surprise party for Laurie's 65th. He was totally 'Blown Away' - his words.

On Saturday evening, all the guests marshalled at their neighbours house - about 25 of us, and then at 6:30 we all walked over and rang the doorbell, to be greeted by a VERY surprised Laurie. The real icing on the cake was the arrival of his daughter Lisa - who flew in from Vancouver for the occasion - and arrived an hour late (flight delay) - when Laurie thought all the surprises were over.


Summer having a catch-up with Sara

Summer was delighted to see some cousins that she had not yet met and had fun entertaining guests until about 10pm - when she said "Mommy, can I PLEASE go to bed now?"

"Do you like my hat?"

We preceeded the party event with a playdate at our friends the Miller's in Brooklin. Summer had a great time playing with Matthew, Eric and Emilie. It was really wonderful to see them as it had been since July when they visited us. The twins are doing amazing and they delighted us with their musical performances and dancing in the play room. Emilie is a very sharp girl (7) who just made the competitive gymnastics team. She is thrilled!


"Matthew, you can be my boyfriend" - Seriously!


Rock Stars






We came home on Sunday and watched the NFL playoffs on the PVR. We were relieved to make it home in one piece as the roads were not great on both travel days.
