Our support system is incredible. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law were going to come help put up the Christmas lights at our house today, and Mel’s uncle walked over to assist as well. Some things came up and Mel’s sister had one of the boys not feeling well so her uncle and her put them all…
The first time we went camping with Mel’s family and her aunt and uncle from Kapuskasing they asked if I wanted to go with them to cut some firewood. I of course agreed as it was an opportunity to learn. They made fun of me as I give off the impression of a sheltered city…
We have a great relationship with both sides of our family and it has helped in the last year. They have helped us out a lot with taking the kids or cooking us meals and desserts. Through out my whole life I have had great parental figures at each stage of my life. When I…

When we left South Vietnam, we ended up in Malaysia. I did not realize that there was a global controversy about it where Malaysia was turning people away when they reached the border. Recently in the last couple of years my parents told me some stories about this time. Melanie was curious and my mother…
In South Vietnam I am not really sure exactly what my parents did. I know some stories about myself how I use to help out by using my tricycle to bring wood to the back and I would spend all day with that. I would start off the morning by going through the market looking…
I went to the doctor’s today to pick up my compression socks, get a flu shot and get my staples removed. I am surprised that removing the staples was so painless. You can not feel it at all, except for the sensation of hair pulling a bit when they accidentally grabbed some hair. Olivier did not…
