Oil Change and Battery

 Now that we're back, good to get the car checked, including an oil change and a new battery after a few years.  So, so thankful for Leong and his excellent work as a mechanic. 

 

Return Trip

 Our return trip went through Montreal and Tokyo - and was pretty good connections; we were a bit nervous if it would be too tight in Montreal; thankfully, it all worked out well. 

 

Final Goodbyes

 Jason and Nicole, Scot & Carrie, as well as Ethan and Ava stopped by to say goodbye with our final evening before heading to the airport tomorrow. 

 

Tips for Gabi

 We got some pictures and tips of expectations for Gabi for when she comes back - and needs to pack up the place.  From spices to mattress covers, these are just a few of the several pictures that make up the instructions tips for Gabi. 

 

Laugher & Fitted Sheets

 It was fun to stay after dinner, hear from Patti about her mom's insistence on learning how to do laundry correctly, our varying levels of incompetence with fitted sheets - and hearing more about how Barrie is doing. 

 

Pizza @ Grandpa Barrie's

 Barrie and Patti had us over for pizza - which was another fun chance to connect and be together as a family.  The last week is always so fun of connection time as the summer winds down. 

Getting height updates is always an important summer tradition.  Bryson and Ethan sure were the big growers! 

 

Bowling Green

 We got to visit Bowling Green and see some of the areas that Laura is so familiar with.  It was a fun brunch place - and good to get some good food and enjoy time together. 

 

Laura's Place

 Fun to see Laura and Mitch's place and get to visit them. 

 We also delivered grandma's wicker seat for their outdoor patio. 

Family Gathering

 Good to have family over for some food and connection.
