Jasper gets a bit lost amid all the layers! Takes a bit of getting used to, for him, being dressed and undressed all day! (See our nicely shovelled driveway?!)
On Tuesday we headed to Lorette, half an hour away, between Steinbach and Winnipeg, to visit Shaun and Helena, our good friends. It was sooooooo nice (words can't express) to be offered a Stella upon arrival and a white wine with a meal. Made me feel normal, it's what we'd often offer!
Shaun and Helena have an eighteen-month old son called Zachary, who we hadn't met until this week. He & Piper played pretty well together, and we had fun playing chasey in the loungeroom. I'll try and work out some rhythm of seeing Helena, and all of us seeing each other, cos they're such beautiful friends...
To finish, Piper wants to say: Dear Poppa, we won't see you for a long time, but we're not going to say anything to Pippa cos she's coming in a long long time, but not on the same aeroplane as us. (yes my Mum's coming over in May-ish.) Pippa, when you come to Canada, you can have a look at my beautiful wrapping paper and my beautiful reindeer sticker, and when it's early in the morning, I'll open it and you can see what's inside. (I just wrapped her Christmas present and stuck it under the tree. Oh yes, I should take a photo of our tree, decorated with stuff we found at the opshop.)
