Peace and Quiet

Hi,

I thought I would post a few pictures and some videos of our weekend at Michel's and Yuko's cottage in the Eastern Townships...His cottage is in the middle of acres of forest so needless to say, it is very quiet and peaceful. It was lovely to get out of the city and the boys had a good time. On my side, I also enjoyed spending Saturday afternoon cooking two new recipes (one of which we had for supper!) and baking...It sounds silly but I really enjoy having the time to do that. The boys were playing so well with their toys beside me and Vincent was reading and relaxing so everyone was happy!!!! Vincent and I also each had the chance to go for a nice long run along the country roads. I was particulary happy to learn that there were no dogs in sight as that is always my biggest fear when I run alone in the country...! Everyone has their phobia I guess!!!

Michel has a little pond in the back of his cottage so the boys enjoying going "fishing"...We also made a couple of trips into the quaint little town that is about 10 minutes away to go to the bakery...Despite being in the middle of the forest, we were only minutes away from fresh croissants!!!

As you can see from the video, Gabriel is crawling around like a trooper and has really adapted well to his cast. This Friday, we go back to hospital to get a new, smaller cast so hopefully he will be able to walk around a little bit...We shall see...
