They are Finally Here

Well I am back... very early Saturday morning but I am back... everyone is sleeping except me but that is when I work the best...

Company started coming at 4 yesterday with me picking Kyle up at the airport... he has not changed all that much after 3 years... Val and Ray came in around 6 with Carl on his way home... of course he left later then he thought he was going to so that made things late.. but the surprise was the phone call from Matthew saying Hi Mom ohhh I knew right then and there that I was in trouble... the house was already full... the inn was full... but there had to be a place for him somewhere in here.... I was right... so after Carl arrived and dinner was had... the 4 men headed up to Walmart to get some air mattresses so the boys had a place to sleep tonight...

So the house is now over flowing.. with company and two extra dogs... did I happen to mention I have Robin's two for the next three weeks while they are away on holidays.. well two actually they have been here for a week already... even with just the 4 dogs and before everyone else showed up I thought the house was full...

I am sure you are saying shut up JO where are the photos from the anniversary well here they are....


A change this time... Lisette appointed herself as cook... which is a change... and she did a wonderful job of it too....


I have not idea what was the conversation here but it seems dad is enjoying it as Yvette wasn't really...

Roger and Greg at the picnic table but if I look back I actually have this almost the same photo of them at most gatherings...

Yvette checking out Phoenix's new toys...

Roger and Monique... It has been a great few weeks for me actually... a few weeks back I posted that Monique and Sarah were here... we this week Monique was back without Sarah who was spending time with her dad though we missed her very much... and once again I got a chance to spend some alone time with her... always so very nice... Lise and Paden came in as well to visit... Lisa, her boyfriend Greg, and Jonah was here... then Peter, Pauline and the boys came in on Sunday last week... it has been a great week to see all the nieces and nephews... for me...

Mom has a hard time with the wind with her hearing aid so she spent most of the time in the house looking out the windows... though she did show up every now and then to make sure we were all behaving ourselves...


The kids Paden, Phoenix and Rebecca enjoying the fruit trays that were made...


Carl and Flo all smiles...
Pat and Mom...
Of course I did have to take a few photos of people eating but as you can see no close ups... Yvette wasn't around he he I usually always catch her with her mouth open... he he

The kids all playing and getting in some cousin time...

Lisa and her Greg....
63 years... Just can't imagine being with someone that long...

Mom and Dad....
Even Phoenix got into it with making a picture for mom and dad's anniversary... Rebecca got it framed... a turtle on its back he told mom and dad... the photo is now hanging over mom's bed...very proudly... which reminds me I have to go up with the white pen to mark on the back of it...

Well that is the end of the anniversary photos... I didn't take as many as I usually do but I thought that Flo and Pat were there with their cameras really didn't need to....
