Trip home- Round 3- Family

I hadn't seen some of my family members for upwards of 5 years- how fortunate for me & Al that we were able to meet up with so many of them. And that's the beautiful thing about family, five years & it feels like I never left- thanks to each of you!!

Our welcoming committee when we hit the Motherland. My Aunt was such a gem- she drove us all over "Greater Toronto Area" for 2 days...Here she is with her daughter & granddaughters.















Auntie Nada took us to see my cousins & their families.
Danielle & her three babes (so good to catch up)!
















Me & Kane















Mel, JD & their girls- lovely to visit!















Cayley was Mel's only kid that liked either me or Al*hahaha* She reached out for Al so we all got excited, how silly is that?!















Next stop: Ottawa. Here are a few of our hosts- Aunt Monique (missing other half dear Uncle Emil), Marc (missing my cousin/ his wife Caro), Mate & Jen (missing their two daughters). I clearly did a TERRIBLE job with the camera in Ottawa. I think I was too excited- it was amazing to see everyone, & to see everyone looking so great!















"Ma-mere" aka. Grandma Cote (85-year old powerhouse) playing tennis with her great-granddaughter Justine (Marc & Caro's beautiful girl). I was so happy to be a part of that day!















We also high-tailed it to Saskatoon. Here we are in my Gran's new digs, with cousin Al's lovely daughter Katrina. The last time I saw Katrina she was a toddler- we had such a blast with her despite the fact that she beat me at Quiddler AND Scrabble. Here she is trying to teach my mom ballet, I nearly split my gut laughing.














Here's my beautiful Gran at my brother's wedding. She's such an incredible woman. (Thanks for letting me steal the photo Uncle Wal)*grin*














Me & my hubby at Toma's wedding.















Oh...and this was a quick stop on our way back home from Saskatoon- Alberta tourism at it's finest. Love it!














I'm looking everywhere for the photo of the whole family. It was the first time ever that my bro & I have had all our Aunts & Uncles together at the same time- & the blasted photo must be on my laptop somewhere. I will find it & post it proudly!! (Promise)
