One of the toughest things about being in Ottawa is that both of our immediate families are not here with us. One is out West and one is out East. We are lucky to have so many ways to stay in touch with them and have had the chance to visit with them all this summer, which means a lot to us, but day to day we are usually on our own. Having the Andrews family nearby has been a godsend. We love being around them, truly enjoy their company and the kids just adore them. Never has there been a birthday or big event in our lives that they weren't a part of and we can't thank them enough for that. Always up for either a big party or just some quiet times with the kids, the Andrews clan continues to be there for us, and Thanksgiving was no exception. Everyone had a great time and the kids enjoyed all the attention they received. They even went to the trouble to plan games and crafts to make their afternoon complete. Wow. Nothing is better than holiday time with special people. We are excited to see them again in a couple of weeks when we host a big soiree with Auntie Mer in town. Who knows, we might be toasting the arrival of the first Andrews grandhild!

Playing ride 'em cowboy with Menna and Trystan. What a sight!
One thing about Menna. She is all-in with kids. You name it, she is game. Isabelle and Oliver understand this and they absolutely love it. For example, here goes Isabelle the makeup artist, hard at work!
A grandchild of their own is right around the corner...amazing!
