Lavonne had a conference here in Edmonton (held at MacEwan no less!) Darrel picked her up and brought her out to our place for supper on Friday night. As you can see it didn't take Julie very long to get over any shyness with Auntie 'Vonne! On Saturday Lavonne and I got to hang out together in the city: shopping and a movie. It was too bad that Darrel couldn't come too -we couldn't find a sitter, (and lately the three kids have been a lot to handle on outings like that). But that did leave Lavonne and I free to shop for clothes and go to Bath & Body Works to our hearts' content. In fact Lavonne made the ultimate score, going back to look at a winter coat she was debating about and then seeing another one that was perfect and for less money!
The boys were a smidge disappointed that Auntie couldn't sleep overnight, and since then we've had lots of talks about going to SK this summer to see everyone. It was so nice to see family and Lavonne is easy to be around. I have always admired her calm manner with her children, she doesn't get louder when they are acting up, she tends to talk quieter and slower. A good example for me, who tends to talk louder and louder. It was also a really nice break to cut out of Saturday bathroom renos early! Thanks for letting me go play Darrel!
