August 2nd 2011

A few activities has come and gone but I just had to share them with you, as we are doing so many activities together, and we are having a blast!!

Let’s start with July 22nd and 23rd. We were invited to go to Ottawa as they were having a BBQ with all the families that have adopted from Vietnam and China. This was our second year that we have been going, and it is so much fun. We have made great friends and so have you! At the BBQ, there was water slide for the kids to play in, a swing set and our course a nice in ground pool, which you never left, as you were in heaven! You loved jumping off the diving board with your floater, your father and I were there to catch you of course, and you must have jumped at least 10 times. You were so brave!

We stayed with Cynthia and Andre, as we arrived on the 22nd. They have two children which you have meet a few times before, Daniel who is 4 and is the same size as you, people even say that you two look a like, I find that too, but the best part, you guys play so well together. He also has a sister Audrey who is 10 years old and just loves you! She is always taking care of you, she is great!

When we arrived, you played outside in the sand box for hours with Daniel, then we had a bit to eat, after lunch, we all went swimming in there pool. Now this is where I was really impress. You were standing on your own on a boggy board in the water with Daniel, again no fear, you kept falling and we were there to pick you up and you would continue and continue until WE needed a break, you are such a little fish... We love it.

Once it was time to drive back to Montreal, you were as tired as you had such a fun weekend! I can't wait to bring you to Ottawa again for you to see your friends again!

July 30th, we had another BBQ at Lucie's house, oh boy, more friends for you to play with, as Lucie has her twin girls which are 4 years old, Chantal and Richard were there too with there daughter who is 13 months old and Manon with her daughter who is 22 months old, you were the only boy, but you did not care as once again, you had fun with the swing set, water toys, sand box and all the other toys that the girls had in the house, you were in heaven!!

July 31st, you and I went to the beach, Cap St-Jacques, it was such a nice day, we got there at 11:00 and left at 3:00. We were with Julie and her daughters and even Marilyn’s girls were there too. They all played with you in the water, they were great!

Now that August has arrived.... lets see what is around the corner for you.

Love you Alexandre
