Diary of An Aunt

2 weekends ago we, Reuben and I, went to visit Diana, Mike and Jim-Bob(Reuben's name for their baby). It was the Victoria Day weekend. The weather was rainy and cold but we still had a good time. We left Reuben's work at 3 and arrived in Arthur at 9pm. It was a long drive but we enjoyed looking at the Ontario countryside and evaluating the houses and properties along the way. One of our hobbies, is to look at houses and argue whether we like them or not and why. It usually ends up in a fairly friendly argument.

We had a few gifts for the newly expecting couple. Karin had already bought 2 peices of flannel and sewed them together to make Diana's first receiving blanket. I bought her the book "The Mother of All Pregnancy Books", which is Canadian and is supposed to be really good. I read the first 3 chapters before we even got there:) I also got Diana a journal so that she could write down her thoughts and maybe some helpful hints for her sisters!:)

While there we went to St. Jacob's market which was quite interesting. We drooled over the handmade furniture.

All in all a nice visit. We hope to see them in Ottawa this weekend!
