Wild, Wild Whistler and so much more!!!

Okay I am officially back on the blogging train. I derailed there for a while simply because well I just didn't feel like doing it. However, I am refreshed and ready to go...

NUMBER 1 NEWS: Liam is 17 months old today!!! Wow when did he suddenly grow up into a little man. I do admit that everyday does get better in this house as he understands so much now and is starting to 'speak' a lot more...he does a lot of sign language but he throws out the occasionally words (mama, banana, ball, etc.) We just feel so lucky to have such a loving funny kid who for the most part spends a lot of time laughing at himself. :)

NUMBER 2 NEWS: We just got back from a weekend in Whistler for the annual Residence Retreat to Dr. John Robertson's cabin. We are so spoiled to have these amazing fun retreats in some pretty beautiful places. Matt skiied the fresh tracks with collegues on the Saturday while Liam, Karen, Samuel and I stayed behind to tobaggan and enjoy the mountain fresh air. Unfortunately, it had snowed so much over the last few nights that the snow went up to our thighs as we attempted to make a track for tobagganning. So we had to kiboosh that pretty quickly as the buys kept sinking into the snow. Instead we took the boys on the tobaggans and went for a walk around the neighbourhood instead. Thanks John and Sylvia for hosting us at your cabin!

Sam tobagganing!


Hey buddy are you okay?

Liam and Sam: Tobaggan studs!

NUMBER 3 NEWS: Matt's cousin Lorie and her partner Robert came to visit us last night from Vancouver. It was great to have them out since they haven't seen Matt since the summer. We enjoyed some Chinese food last night and had an early evening but I think everyone was ready to have a nice long snooze! Liam and I took them on the walk of Rotary Trail and then for some Vietnamese food in downtown Chilliwack...yes there is a very good vietnamese restaurant here!

That's all for now! We have a lot of visitors coming next month starting with my mom and dad and then my buddy Lyndi!!! Wooooohooooo!!

Have a great week!

Matt, Mo and Liam
