Great Aunt Linda

Emma has 3 great aunts named Linda. She had only met two of them until last week when one of my Mom's younger sisters (Linda) flew in from Montreal to visit for a week. The last time I had seen my Aunt Linda, or any of my Mom's family for that matter, was when our family made the trip out to Montreal about 18 years ago.

My Mom and Linda spent the better part of the week shopping and visiting friends and family all over Calgary and the surrounding areas, but we still had a few chances over the week to sit and trade stories and pictures and have some laughs. The picture I've posted is one of many that we took when my Mom and Linda stopped by our house on Thursday night, but it's the only one where they weren't in hysterics.

With everyone on Facebook now, we can keep in touch with our far away relatives a lot easier than in previous years, but we'd still like to make the trip out there again someday soon to visit with everyone. Perhaps we'll stop in a few places I served as a missionary in Ontario along the way.

We're so glad Aunt Linda made the trip out here and that she made it home safe and sound. Thanks for all the gifts and souvenirs from Montreal, say "Bonjour" to everyone out there for us, and we hope to see you all again soon!
