Home for the holidays...

It's been four long weeks since I've seen Em and Aethan, so it was a very special holiday visit when they flew over from the Island for a couple of days to see my mom.  This was the first time they had met each other, but Aethan was soon hugging her leg every time he walked by and saying, "I love you soooo much great grandmother."  We had been referring to her as GG to make things easier for him, but even at 2 1/2, Aethan wasn't having any short-cuts and great grandmother it was.  Aethan is quite the experienced flyer now and he has no qualms about climbing aboard the float plane, with a little help from the pilot...

The sky was dark to the north, but the sunlight captured two wonderful people just before take-off...Em and sweet Aethan wearing his nanny's hat home!

Mom and I watched the plane leave the dock and blew kisses and waved like mad...you can just make them out in the window.

 

As the plane skimmed the water just before it took flight, a rainbow appeared behind it...a magical moment to cap off a wonderful magical Christmas visit...one that Aethan's great grandmother will remember for a long time...memories to last a lifetime!

* it's not easy to spot, but the rainbow is there!

when we took off aethan pointed out that rainbow to me. it circled around the plane, no lies! and followed us until we were right out over the ocean.
we had a great time with you, but i miss you just as bad as before still!

Aethan is just too cute in that hat! Love those big brown eyes :)

So, where does Great Grandmother live that requires a float plane? I'm sure it'll be one thing that will stick in his mind for a long time. Grandmothers and great grandmothers always live in exciting places, don't they?

Hi! Nice blog :)

You were asking about The Hidden City Store. It's on Fraser street, on the west side of the street, somewhere around 27th I think. I hope you get to check it out sometime.
