Travel Group Visit - November

We were able to get our travel group together for a nice Christmas visit and it is hard to believe how all the babies have grown. We had a nice day in Barrie at Gord and Shannons' and all the children seemed to get along as if they had never been apart. Thanks Gord and Shannon for hosting us. The day was even absent of snow falling - even in Barrie! All the children enjoyed playing in Hannah's basement playroom - complete with slide and everything!!!

October Already!!

Well October is almost gone and I have to catch up on my blog!! Too busy with events and swimming lessons etc. Mercy is growing by the minute and having fun at home with family and friends.

Thanksgiving weekend we had a great visit with Nanny and Grandpa Allen. It was the first time visit for Mercy to her grandparents. She even met Auntie Carrol and Uncle Roger for the first time too!!! Auntie Carrol and Uncle Roger gave Mercy this wonderful outfit which included this great red hat!!! Is she in the "Red Hat Society" club now???

We enjoyed a visit to the petting zoo in the park by Grandpa and Nanny's house and Mercy saw all kinds of animals - ducks, lamas, donkeys, chickens, rabbits, goats. All what she loves to see - any animal!!

Mercy has experienced a lot of things even since she has been home. I think she is enjoying life in Canada with Mommy and Daddy!!!

September Events Continued

September was a busy month. We got Mercy dedicated/christened while Roger's parents were in town. We honoured Mercy's heritage by wearing our Chinese apparel. Mercy looks wonderful in red. I think she even enjoyed seeing everyone in church that day! We had a great visit with family members after.

We went to the Chinese Lantern Festival with friends and Mercy got to see the inflatable pandas and the Terracotta Warrior display.

Mercy was awed by the lit up dragons on the water!!!

Another new experience for Mercy in Canada!!!
