Montreal!

We've been having a great time in (near) Montreal with the Pardy's. The other night we went out to see the movie Dream Girls- it was very good- better than I expected. The next day we went with the whole family to a museum called Pointe-a-Calliere, here's a description from a website:

"Place Royale, home of the Pointe-à-Callière museum, is the location of the very first European settlement in Montreal. The museum includes the 1992 building in the photo as well as several others nearby, including the old Customs House on the square. A visit to the museum includes a 20-minute multimedia presentation encapsulating Montreal's history, and a visit to the archaeological dig beneath the museum, which goes back to the very origins of the city."

Me and the fam went out to lunch after the museum while Scott hung out with Matt, then we went to a local mall- stores are different here and people are a lot more stylin'- crazy colored (and styled) hair and clothes. In the area of St. Jean, where the Pardy's live, most people speak english as well as french- so that's been good! Seeing downtown Montreal's been great- it's really busy-and has a more European and historic feel to it than Toronto.

We also had the chance to go visit Matt and Christine and their kidlets at their house! We made dinner together and then Christine made a chocolate fondu with toblerone for us! We ate it with fruit and it was so good...it was so great to be able to visit with them at their house!! Unfortunately, now that I'm feeling much better, Scott has caught the stomache flu that's been going around this area like an epedemic- so we weren't able to drive home today. Hopefully, I won't catch it, so that we can head home tomorrow- so please pray for us! Thanks!!

So here are some pics of our time in Montreal, enjoy! (and of course a belly picture at the end!):

Dee,
Love the belly!!I was much the same size- needed Omar the tent maker to make clothes!
As for the paint chips,stick with a light coriander colour- H -fourth colour from the right.
(Colour is always much darker when it gets on the wall than it appears in the swatch.
