Cast-off

Marshall got his cast off today!  It was a bit scary but he only cried for a few minutes – it didn’t hurt!  And he got more xrays and all is well.  The stinky thing is sitting in the trunk of the car for the moment.

Added some pics of our Toronto trip here.  We had a great trip – very busy though.  I’ll try to update the details later, as we have some interesting stories.  Here’s the short version:

-visit with my cousin Steph and her famil (met Finlay for the first time – 19 months)

-stayed with my long lost friend Victoria – we’ve kept in touch since high school but haven’t seen each other pretty much since then.  Got to meet her husband and 2 boys!

-visited the West Hill Alyeas (yo Alyeas whatup?) (Marshall says hi Sheisha, hey MATT MATT MATT! and Brooke…the only one he didn’t say was Damon!)

-had a turkey dinner with the Burlington/Mississauga/Stoney Creek and beyond crowd

-Shopped Yorkdale mall and had lunch with my cousin Jana whom I haven’t seen in probably 20 years – and met her husband Roe for the first time

-Marshall had lots of firsts: first plane, first subway, first taxi…first trip to IKEA (and shuttle bus – fun!)

-finally got to the Fluevog store and tried on shoes!

-randomly bumped into another high school friend in the Fluevog store

-lost kitcat, but found him again

-met a bunch of Rick’s coworkers from across the country who were excited to meet the M-man

-snoring man on the plane back was hilarious – Marshall did a good impression of him

-many adventures with stroller/baby/coffee and subway stairs etc.

-found Torontonians to be extremely helpful and accommodating!  (I know – WEIRD! ;) )

That’s it for now – must get some zzzzs.  Very busy at work this week – still!

I’ll be in the dragon boats on Saturday – hope it’s nice.  Also, Nana Sandra is coming for a visit!   Saturday should be a lot of fun – they’re closing our street off to cars, and there’s a band at the end of the street and lots of people will be walking around.
