Permanent Residents!!

We finally got our paperwork through to become Permanent Residents of Canada, which paves the way for us to apply for Citizenship in 2012.

To activate the Visa we had to take a short trip into the USA! As the border with Montana is but a 3.5 hr drive from Calgary that is where we went.

These pictures were taken just as we crossed back into Canada. Alex didn't want to get out of the car, so he is not in them!


Graduation for Lewis

Alex isn't the only "Grad" in our household! Lewis graduated Elementary school this year & he did very well in his final exams!

He moves on to Junior High where we all hope he will keep up the good work.

They had a really nice celebratory party & got a keepsake year book.

All new to us UK folks but actually I think it was rather nice.

Alex Graduation Banquet

Alex with his girlfriend, Ayla, before heading out for his Graduation banquet. Note my other "baby" in the background too!

I finally got my dream baby grand & I think it's very photogenic as well!

Figure Skating already!

Sophie's first figure skating picture! She doesn't have a skating dress yet but made use of a dance costume from many moons ago to fake it! Recycling at it's best!
