From Montreal, Max traveled to Ottawa to visit his Uncle Mikey and his Woman (she hasn’t decided if she like the name aunt yet). He looks like he wants to get the heck out of there
Here Max is looking a little happier with just Lilia.
After the visit with Uncle Mikey and (Aunt) Lilia Max got to meet the Patricks and the Brouwers who are good friends from Vancouver. Here he is with Darren and Rhys.
And of Course, a visit at the Patricks would be complete with the demolishing of a Dairy Queen Ice Cream cake. I am looking forward to Maxwell eating his first piece of one of these.

It turns out Maxwell travels really well. He slept most of the time on the plane and loves the train. Here is a photo of his sleeping quaters
Max finally got to meet his other Grandparents.
What do you think? Does he look at all like his Opa?
Then Max got to travel to Montreal by train. He loves to sleep on the train. Well… in Montreal Max met his Great Great Aunt.

So we go back to the homeland tomorrow. It has been almost 2 years since I have set foot on the other side of the pond. This is a good chance for us to show off Maxwell to the family back home. Also my brother is getting married so we will be attending that. Other highlights include…
- eating at swiss chalet.
- a Dairy Queen ice cream cake
- seeing my good friends JP^2 and Darren who I haven’t seen in over 3 years.
- Drinking some Canadian Beer
Please pray for our safe journey and for the strength and courage to tavel with a 6 week old!

Neyir’s birthday is dwindling down and in the spirit of the day I posted some new photos of Maxwell. These though included Neyir in them. We spend the day out and about edinburgh. It started with us going to have Maxwell have his very first surgery, but then decided not to get it done. So the day was better for Max than we had originally planned. Anyways, Happy Birthday to my wonderful wife and I hope you all enjoy the photos.

Max is now about 5.5 weeks old.
He has managed to grow approx 8cm and has gained another 9 ounces since last week. He is in the 94percentile in height and about average for weight.
His hair seems to always part the same way. Neyir commented that his hair-do looks alot like a famous 20th Century politician. Can you guess who?
We are headed back to the homeland in just a few days. I am very excited because it has been almost two years since I made it back to North America.

Well, they say bad things happen in 3s.
My mother’s brother Jerry died today. He apparently fell down the stairs in his house and died. There is currently an investigation into his death.
Keep my mother in your prayers and the rest of her siblings.

Maxwell currently weights in at 4.6kg. (10 pounds 2 ounces for you imperial folks).
I calculated his estimated height for when he is 20 (this is based on Neyir and My heights) and found he will be somewhere between 182 cm and 200 cm. (or 5.9ft and 6.5ft for the imperial yolkels) That is a huge range so let us hope for the latter half of that range. After all, chicks dig tall guys.
I remember when i was young, my mother told me that you do much of your growing in your sleep. So i tried to get as much sleep as I could. Really, I think she told me that so that she could get a break from me!
I hope he ends up with current colour of his eyes. I know that is unlikely, but they are the coolest colour of blue you have ever seen.
