We got together for Dad’s 80th birthday party at Carolyn and Danny’s. Shanna even called in via Skype to do a video call. Here is Emi talking to Shanna.

We ordered Chinese food for dinner.

Here is Angela, Claudia and Melissa talking to Shanna, David and Jesse on Skype. When Shanna called earlier Jesse was out on the ski slope. It was neat for the cousins to talk and see each other.

After dinner the kids (big and small) played some road hockey.

The Inter-County Baseball League is coming to Mississauga this year. The Stratford Nationals were bought last year and were moved to Mississauga. They will be playing their home games at the Meadowvale North Sports Park. That ball field is less than 5 km from the house. The tickets are $8.00 and kids under 12 are free. I’m looking forward to catching a few games this summer, the home opener is May 23rd.

Our friends Dwight and Susanne were in town this week and had some time for a visit. We haven’t seen them since 1997, they had never met Angela or Claudia. They’re still living over in Germany. It was good to catch up with them. Hopefully it isn’t another 12 years.
