Camping at the Sunnyside campground

Last year, for the first time, we went camping at the Sunnyside campground in Chilliwack and it was so much fun and relaxing. We decided to go to the same place this year in July thinking that it would be sunny. Instead, we had rain for 3 days and finally, the sun came out on the 4th day when we had to check out. We therefore stayed one more night and in doing so, we've been able to enjoy the lake and the waterpark nearby. We went with our friends this time and we all had a great time.

Alison's first communion on May 05

Alison has received God's blessing on
May 05, 2007. She really wanted to know the taste of the "l'Hostie" and she was eating it like a cookie! At the church, all the boys and girls have to put the same robe. In the same afternoon, she had to participate in the TaeKwonDo competition.

Angel by day, fighter by night!

This is her 2nd year at the school dance and she has passed her first ballet exam this year. She has always shown a lot of interest in dancing and she's always on the dance floor when there's a party! She enjoys dancing the sega too!!

Tyson finishes elementary level with straight As

Awesome job, Tyson! He will start middle school (Grade 6) in September. He received his merit certificate at the end of the school year. What the teacher said on him: "He is excellent in numbers. He has probably eaten a lot of numeric cereals when he was small!"

Ginger - the new member of the family since Mar 04, 2007

This is Ginger, Alison's puppy. She's a purebred Shitzu and we brought her home on Mar 04. Alison wanted a miniature poodle but when she saw Ginger, she fell in love with her. She was born Dec 27, 2006. She's very playful and sociable. When she wants to play, she will bring her toy to your foot. She's now about 12 lbs.

Mirella's visit end of June 2007

Our first visitor this year: Mirella and her 2 sons, Bradley 11 & Dylan 6. Mirella is one of our best friend from Mauritius and we have not seen her for 14 years since we left after our wedding in 1994. We had so much to talk about. The kids had so much fun playing with Tyson & Alison since they were almost of the same age. Needless to say, games that were mostly played were all electronic - game boy, Nintendo, game cube, computer games. However, we have also learned how to knit, make scoobidoo. By the way, Tyson is also knitting and he even asked me to buy his own pair of knitting needles. This visit will be unforgettable. We will definitely meet again but in Quebec next time!
