Enjoying the Ordinary

Well we’re back to normal weather around here (minus ten degrees Celsius). That’s fine because it gave us the perfect excuse to rent a movie and stay home. The movie we rented is entitled Dinner for Schmucks. I don’t expect it will win an Oscar but it gave us a few good laughs so I think it was a good choice.

Jen used the time to practice knitting.

Overall it was a nice lazy day hanging out with Richard and Nathalie. Besides watching movies we mostly just sat around and talked. I really like these family visits as they make the ordinary seem extraordinary: “talking” becomes “conversation”; “lunch” becomes “a feast”; “cleaning dishes” becomes…”cleaning dishes”. Oh well, two out of three ‘isn’t bad! Seriously though, Nathalie and Richard love hanging out with Margot so much that it reminds me how special she is. I think Margot likes the attention as she was really babbling a lot the whole weekend. I think she is on the verge of talking. Stay tuned!

Nathalie and Richard have gone back to Toronto now. We’ll miss them!
