Brendan with Granny, Grandad and Uncle Scott.

Brendan and Siobhan arrived in Montreal on Friday to stay with Tommy and Linda for three days before going on to the UK. We met new baby cousin Duncan for the first time and all of us went to the eco-museum to see the bears, racoons, wolves and lots of other Canadian animals. It's 23'C and fairly muggy- not what we imagined for the end of October.

Meanwhile... up near Quebec City Steve is busy at work... missing out on all the fun!

Where we are right now

It's October, Brendan is almost 9 months old, it's getting colder here in New Brunswick, Steve is working crazy hours at the moment and Siobhan and Brendan are off to the UK for a month in 2 days time.
Siobhan is writing this, looking at the computer screen with one eye and watching Brendan with the other. He is a fantastic little chap. Very happy and chilled out. His personality is emerging and he masters something new every day. He likes to walk behind an ugly plastic walker thing and when he bumps into the wall at the other end of the room he sits downs and yells until I point it in the other direction. So let me find a pic.

This was taken in Halifax a couple of weeks ago.

For starters

Thought we'd give this a go. The plan is to post little updates on what we are up to and how Brendan is getting along. We'll also include the odd photo. Take it away...
