We're back...in Chilliwack!






We have just returned from our wonderful visit to Edmonton for Christmas. We were able to see many of our family and friends but unfortunately our time ran out and we didn't get to see everyone we would have liked to.

However, we will visit again in the new year. Here are some of the highlights of our trip:

- Cawfu (Uncle) Miles met his nephew for the first time and definitely created a strong bond especially in the Oiler fan department.
- A few of my students from last year came by to visit whivh really brought a smile to my face.
- Liam met Great Grandma Robertson and sat quietly in her lap and eventually fell asleep on her.
- Michelle, Michael and Jayden made a surprise visit to Edmonton on Christmas eve to surprise Auntie Marguerite and all the Gendalls.
- Liam was an all around great boy...actually he was a great 'sucker' baby making many couples think about having a baby. :)

We would like to thank Kung Kung Peter, Pau Pau Grace, Grandpa Hugh and Grandma Lynda for having us as guest in their homes for the last two weeks. We hope you had a great time with Liam because I am sure he is suffering from Grandparent withdrawl right now.

We want to say hi to all of our family and friends that we were unable to see but we will fly to Edmonton again soon.

Christmas time in Edmonton!






Hello everyone!

We are currently in Edmonton enjoying Christmas with our family and friends. Liam has been a very good boy charming all the people that he meets.

Liam and I had a good flight from Abottsford to Edmonton despite 2 delays and landed us in Edmonton at midnight. He slept most of the way and on the way home from the airport he fell asleep until the next morning. He met his Uncle Miles the next day and they seemed to have really bonded...must be an Oilers' fan thing.

The last week Liam has met many people from mom's work, grandparents' friends and of course spent lots of time with Grandpa and Grandma Cheung (a.k.a Kung Kung and Pau Pau). On Monday night Liam saw his dad again after 5 days apart...they definitely missed each other.

Finally Liam met his Great Grandma Robertson yesterday and there was an immediate bond between the two as they played and Liam eventually fell asleep on her.

The trip home to Edmonton has been fantastic so far and I will keep you updated on the latest adventure of the Robertsons.

See everyone soon!

Love the Robertsons

Uncle Simon comes for a visit!




Liam was quite excited this weekend as our friend Simon came to visit from Calgary. Uncle Simon made quite an impression on little Liam (okay Liam's no longer really that little he has quite the budda belly) as he had Liam laughing and generally in great spirits all weekend. We hope Uncle Simon will come visit again soon.

Our next big event is flying back to Edmonton! Liam and I will be flying to Edmonton on Tuesday and then Matt will come the next weekend. So I know I am very excited to see all our friends and family so be ready for some phonecalls and plan making! See all of you very soon.

Love,

Monique, Matt and Liam
