mom's the word

tomorrow night trent's mom and her two sisters will be arriving! we've signed them into a local motel/sauna, and are thrilled about the prospect of showing them around our cozy town. we're also anticipating the arrival of many longed-for items such as popcorn seasoning, deodorant (let's just say koreans keep it 'au natural'), canvas supplies and hockey gear.

... these weeks have been trying due to parents observing our classes and 'critiquing' our style. we're finding peace of mind in watching our turtle grow (lol) and laughing our guts out at The Office (season 2).

signing off for now...

Keith introduced me to the joys of The Office when I came to Ottawa. In fact, we had a two-evening Office marathon my first week here, in order to get caught-up before the new season. Without TV, though, I'm afraid I've fallen behind the times once again. When you come back to Canada, we'll have to all watch some as a family!

I love the office! It's so funny! Rob and I try to catch it on TV when we can. My name is Earl is pretty funny as well. I was thinking, since Turtles are illegal in Canada, are there any Tortoises there? If there are, you have to pick one up for me before you come home! Give Mom and big hug and kiss for me! Love you both.

Trent & Em,
I hope you have a wonderful time showing your family around your city! I feel really out of the times, as I haven't even heard of the office...

You both look fabulous! Emily, you look so relaxed and happy to me in this pic. I really dislike "over-spritualizing" things, but honestly, it even LOOKS like God is doing a work in you. You know . . . the glow.

Hey Trent and Em!!

What a beautiful picture of the two of you! You both do indeed look relaxed and happy. Em, love the hair!

So your Mom and her sisters have arrived tonight. What a joy for you all to see each other on your turf! I bet you will sure enjoy your treats too! Slobbering at the mouth just thinking about it?? ;o)

Hey, Marge, don't forget the contest of who looks better on the scooter. I will be waiting for a picture so that I can do the judging on first prize! ;o)

Have the best time of your lives!

Love you all, Auntie D. and family
