On the road again...

Okay, so I meant to blog a few times last week, but never got around to it. We did have a busy week.
I think it's important to note that we now have a pool in our backyard! Don't get too excited, it's not inground or anything fancy. However, it does the trick, it's 12' wide and 30" tall, so it's perfect for us and our little ones. We've been spending most mornings enjoying our new pool.
On Monday of last week, we finally got together to celebrate Diane's birthday (it was on the 11th)! We had pizza and cake. It was nice.
Tuesday was a busy day. We had "Bebe, parents et gazouillements" in the morning, it was an outdoor celebration since it happened to be June 24 (la St-Jean-Baptiste). There were quite a few cankerworms, but it was still a nice time. The kids played in little kiddie pools and we had a finger food lunch.
We visited Memere Gendron (my mom) in the afternoon for a little bit until Richard finished work on the house. We then went to visit Pepere and Memere (my dad and step-mom) where we had a great meal and a great visit. I must say my dad makes THE BEST bbq potatoes! So yummy! Before heading back into the city we stopped for a short visit to my brother's house, so the kids could play a little bit and we got to meet the new alpacas on the farm.
Wednesday we had some shopping to do, we also had a well deserved visit with the chiropractor. In the evening we went to our Families Connecting class where a lawyer came to talk about Wills, Power of Attorneys and Health Care documents. The best part about the class was that I was finally able to go with my bike because we now have a bike trailer for the kids to ride in. It felt great to be riding on a bike again! For those wondering, I was able to get a helmet for Emma from MEC(Mountain Equipment Coop), they also have infant helmets, but were sold out when we went. I got Xavier's helmet from Woodcock Cycle and Ski on St-Mary's Rd.
Thursday Richard had his annual physical, we had wanted to go to Tinkertown, but they were not opening during the week yet, waiting for school to let out for the summer. Instead we went to the Children's Museum. Emma had a great time as usual and Xavier is finally started to enjoy himself there as well. They have a little area specially designed for the under 2 group. We also took a little boat tour down at the docks at the Forks, it was nice.
