Welcome to Singapore, Mom & Dad!

We are so excited to have Mom and Dad visiting us in Singapore!  Kevin and I were surprised to see that their flight from Beijing arrived 40 minutes early so Kevin rushed to the airport to meet them.  By 6:30 am, Gramma and Grampa were hanging out with their new grandson who was wide awake to greet them when they arrived at the apartment.

Mom and Dad brought an entire suitcase full of gifts just for Caleb - what a lucky boy!  Thank you for the wonderful presents, Mom, Dad, Alvina, Jo-ann & Jeff & Anna, Kelli & Bryce, Kim & Mike & Matthew, Shawn, Brenda & Ed, Carrie & Dave, Carol & Eugene, Krista & Brent & Gwen, Val & Bob, Sharron & Ben & Tracie.  

We took Mom and Dad out for a walk to see some of the Singapore sights and then relaxed with a card game before retiring early for the evening in preparation for another busy sightseeing day tomorrow.

definitely 'Made in Canada'

Glad to see that your Mom & Dad arrived in good condition. Looks like you had a great New Year's with the required bubbly. We wish you all a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR and ALL THE BEST IN 2009.

Give Caleb a hug for us.

Glad you made it safe Mom and Dad. The wedding went great last night - I will email photos after I get some sleep... I got home at 1.30 AM, got a call at 2 AM and had three trucks stuck north of Clandonald... I got back at 8 this morning, and went out to plow a couple sites around noon. Did both yards and Trojans as we got a couple inches of snow. Good Night, have a good trip - give Caleb a hug!
