こんにちは(Konnichiwa) to Hello to Bonjour!

We have arrived our final destination in Montreal, Canada!  So far Max has been to: Tokyo, Osaka, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ontario and finally Quebec province in Canada by means of planes, trains and automobiles.  He is a busy but happy little boy.

Our little Peanut was an angel for our 16+ hour travel day from Japan to the States and only cried once after touching down in Minnesota.  Thankfully, our fellow passengers dirty glares turned to "whoo" and "ahhh" at the sweet sleepy baby.  Wish we could take full parenting credit but I think the planes white noise did the trick and now we owe him a pony.  We're hoping a trip to the race track with Grandpa George will suffice.

We had a blast in Minnesota!  Now I see why it takes a village to raise a baby. . .because Mama needs to get her hair done :)  It was wonderful spending time with old friends and family.  A very special thank you to my mom, Peggy, for not only pampering Max but me too!  Having a 24/7 on call babysitter, cook, cleaner and laundry services was a real treat.  

Max loves bath time with Grandma P!

Thank you Auntie Sara for all the fun toys!

We greatly appreciate Bill and Sandy flying in last minute to meet Max.  It was nice to be surrounded by loved ones.  Max enjoyed all the special treatment from everyone.  He is currently wondering where his paparazzi went.

 Loves reading with Grandma S!

The new 2012 Cirque show is coming along nicely.  Scott has hired all his Head of Departments and is thrilled with the advanced technical developments.  Lots done but much more to go.  

 Hard day at the office for Mr. Max

Go Gophers!

We look forward to exploring our new French speaking island and reporting back.  Love and miss you all!
