Ottawa Visit

Wow, the summer is whipping by very quickly and I see it has been quite some time since I lasted posted an update. We traveled to Ottawa Wed July 15th-Sunday July 19th to visit Grandma and Grandpa Lavoie. It is always relaxing to visit my hometown of Greely, ON, but Evey gave us a bit of a run for our money! He was still recovering from his surgery and was a little fussier than usual. Nonetheless, I think he was easily able to charm his way into his Grandma's heart! (Who could resist that red hair, blue eyes and winning smile???).


Evan also met his Great-Grandma Charbonneau as well as his great aunts Laurie and Denise. We had a lovely dinner - it was a very special visit for everyone and we can't wait to visit again soon.













On Saturday, Evan was visited by his Great-Grandfather Lavoie who marveled at his disbelief in having the chance to meet his 4th great-grandchild! Evan also met his great-uncle John and great-aunt Helene. Lots and lots of new people!


We took some nice walks around the old neighbourhood and enjoyed some of mom's *homemade* pizza. We decided to make the trek home at night instead of the following morning so that Evan could sleep most of the way through and also to avoid traffic - this plan worked out beautifully and we made good time home with little unhappiness from Big E. We're looking forward to our next trip up to meet Auntie Angie, Uncle Kevin and cousin Layla who are returning from Calgary - yay!
