Larry & I spent the May long weekend in Vancouver this year. This marks the first break in our traditional way of spending the long weekend, which has always been at the cottage at Betula Lake. Since Dave and Jody are moving to Gloucester, UK on May 31st, (for you who didn't know that), it was a no brainer where we would go. We had a great time with them, as well as with Jay and Andrea. Jonas is getting cuter all the time and just this weekend, started to "talk". I guess you would call it babbbling, but it sure is interesting to listen to! His personality is becoming more defined. He is definitely not a laid back boy! We think he will have lots of persistence! We saw some of this in action. Of course, that's not surprising - his parents are both well-endowed with it. It's a very beneficial characteristic to have, especially when you want something real bad!

Jonas in his carseat. He usually travels well.














He started this little action of trying to "eat Mommy up!" His intensity is interesting to watch, as well as experience!
We will miss our little grandson (as well as our kids, of course) immeasurably. However, Jody and Jonas are going to make a trek home in August and we also hope to go and visit them in their new home sometime this fall. Also, we purchased some web cams so we can stay in touch better and "watch" Jonas growing up. That way he'll also be able to see us and know he has grandparents out there.
