Happy Birthday Marcus!

Yes, that's right - another birthday! September is a busy month for birthdays in our family, and this past weekend was a prime example. And although Marcus gave up most of the limelight on Sunday to his son, in the evening we were able to celebrate him a little bit.


Mom and dad took care of all 5 grandkids for a couple of hours (brave of them!), and we three siblings and our loves headed out to dinner at the Dinghy Dock Pub.


As usual, the goofiest two of our sibling set of three couldn't resist getting up to some of their old tricks...


It was such a nice night, and a rare occasion to get to meet without the kids. We probably crammed about a years worth of conversation into a couple of hours in the absence of little voices demanding our attention.

On the way home to Nanaimo, Isabelle was entranced by the wake of the boat, and it was hard to see where her big brown eyes ended and the sea began.
