Welcome home to Canada!


Well, Paige's first trip to Canada was a success!!! We had two car rides and two plane rides to get there and mommy and daddy said we were both great travelers, they were very happy with how well things went. Our trip home wasn't as successful, thanks to Continental airlines but we did make it back safe and sound!

My baby sister Paige got a chance to meet so many people for the very first time. Look at how excited she was to meet Uncle Ryan and Papa! Uncle Ryan looks great and he is doing well since he had his surgery.




We tried not to jam pack our schedule this time but we still did see lots of people. We drove up to Orillia to meet Great Gramma H and some of the Hollinger family. Then we drove over to Victoria Harbour to meet Grandmere and Great Grandpa Ben. It was so nice to get to see all of them.


Here is Paige with daddy's cousin Mindy.

Mindy's little girl is named Presley and it was her first time meeting all of us, including Paige!

Here is Grandmere holding baby Paige, she was very happy to get to meet Paige and of course to see me!

All the girls in the family together for a nice visit!

On Saturday Gigi hosted a "Meet Paige" party at our cousin Lynn and Larry's house. All of our cousins and a bunch of Mommy and Daddy's friends were there, it was a beautiful day and we had lots of fun. Gigi had this really neat cake made, check it out, the whole thing was edible! As you can see we have had lots to celebrate.

Here are a bunch of pics from the party. We played outside with bubbles, had a dance party in the living room, ate some cake and baby Paige got to meet lots of people, including her Godmothers; Auntie Sarah and Auntie Amy, don't they look proud!



I was so excited to see Kiki and Bobo, they drove all the way from Ottawa to come to the party!


We were quite lucky that our church back in Mississauga agreed to do Paige's baptism while we were home. It was super early on Sunday morning but everything went really well. Paige slept through the water being poured over her and everything. Thanks to everyone who came out to the baptism, it was great to have you all there.
Paige got to meet Tata and Uncle Chris for the first time at her baptism, they drove up with Granny and Pop-pop from Woodstock, it was nice to get to see them!
Mommy found Paige a very pretty dress, she was going to wear mine but it was way too big! Here is a picture of her wearing the nice sweater that Great Granny made for me, I was very happy to be able to share it with Paige.
Papa wasn't able to come to the baptism but we saw him afterwards and sat and opened all the wonderful gifts everyone bought for both of us. Thanks to everyone for the lovely gifts, Paige and I love them all!



Here is an updated picture of Paige that mommy took this morning, she is growing so fast, can't wait till we can play together! Also, check out the neat thing Paige sleeps in...



Well that is all for now. Daddy is at work all day till tomorrow and Paige is crying so I think we must go!!!

Love y'all,
Emmie and Paige
