Now that everything has settled for a moment, I can post a few more pics of our Montreal trip. The first thing we did after we arrived was go for a walk around Downtown. You can see Brodie and his Aunt walking...
Then Aunty Deanna made Jolene ride a 'bixy'... which is a commuter bike that is used around downtown Montreal. We ended up using these bikes a few times when the walks got too long for Alex's sore ankle (which is almost healed).
There is a lot of interesting places to wander of course...
In the evening, we went to see Aunty Deanna's office and check out the 'bubble' which was a room on the 40th floor that we would later return to, so that we could watch the fireworks.
We got to sleep in the next morning, then go to church at the Notre Dame Basillica. Then we had a picnic before we went to Circ de Sole (? spelling). It was a great show and Brodie was excited to get a very fun hat.
Brodie's favorite thing about the trip was the 'buzzing' feature of the apartment building. He was very quick to answer the buzz and let us into the apartment if he and Aunty Deanna beat us back.
We slept in again, found our Tim Hortons and Starbucks, then went to the St. Joseph's Oratory, which was my favorite part of the trip. Then we went to the Biodome and Brodie went crazy taking photo's (which I have spared you).
This is the day we left...
It was a wonderful trip. Thanks Aunty Deanna!

Looks like a great trip - thanks for sharing pictures!
I have been reading your blog for about a week and have read your older posts. I think you and your husband are amazing. You are able to live a normal life in spite of your two beautiful daughters with serious health issues. You are surely an inspiration to other parents of chronically ill children. Keep up the good work. Your family is now on my prayer list!
So glad to hear that Hope is doing better. I just couldn't think of anything to say when I had read the last blog so I just prayed harder. Wonderful pictures. When Morly and I were visiting his brother and wife in Montreal, I also found St. Joseph's Oratory awe inspiring. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

HI Jo,
So glad to hear that Hopey is doing better.
Your trip looks fantastic. I would love to see Circ some day! What an experience for all of you!
Hmmm...that belly fit on a bike did it?!?!? I remember biking at 8 months. Not very comfy!
