Nov 12-15, 2010 Hamilton-Chatham-Sarnia

We spent the weekend visiting all our far away children and grandchildren. We left at 4:30 am on Friday morning to get through Toronto traffic before rush hour. We arrived in Hamilton at 7:15. Marcel and Kevin were going to help Michael replace the soffits, eaves and fascia on the house. Kevin left the night before to pick up Michael from Chatham. Michael is a pro at this.

We had to wait for Michael and Kevin to return from Chatham before the work could begin.

Meanwhile, Amy went through the Xmas ornaments Herman sent along for them.

Michael setting the tone for the labor

Marcel was on the two step ladder, and it slipped off the edge of the step when he was getting down. By the look on his face, he's in pain.

Rachel giving me her cute smile.

Micah fell off his little bike. I think the handlebar hit his forehead.

Amy and I took the kids shopping. But first picked up some Robaxin and a heat pad for Marcel's back. He stayed on the couch for a few hours eating Robaxin. Kevin had a few appointments at work, so Michael was left all alone to work on the house. Some helpers.
By the time Kevin came back, Marcel was ""feeling good"". And the work continued.

The kids were pretty happy with this train from their uncle Herman.

Micah also wanted a pigtail like his sisters.

The many faces of Danielle.

Definitely up to something!

The best giggler.

A super cute shot of the three monkeys.

Some places are hard to get at.

All the men working again. Marcel was doing the cutting and Michael and Kevin the screwing.

They worked till dusk. Even with lights, but decided to finish on Saturday.
