Mark and Kelsey (and Michelle)

Over the last couple of weekends we have been lucky enough to see Ed’s sister Michelle and her kids.  Last weekend we traveled up to Edmonton to watch Mark in a curling bonspiel.  His team did really well and ended up in the prizes. 

After the Olympics the Canadian curler Kevin Martin is the rock star of the curling world and this was his bonspiel.  Check this picture out!  Mark was thrilled!

Mark is the tall one.  His voice has deepened and every time we see him he seems to have grown some more.  I remember him as this chubby little boy who drooled and was too cute for words!  Where did he go?

Kelsey just keeps growing too!  She is only about an inch shorter than me and I am afraid by the time we see her next she will have surpassed me!

Then this past weekend we saw them again.  Ed’s sister Michelle is a Music For Young Children teacher in Calgary and a couple of times a year she has a conference here in Red Deer so the kids came to our house while she was at the conference.  We took them on a big bike ride.  They brought Kelsey’s old bike up and Adam tried that one out to see if he could handle the 20inch bike and Isla tried out Adam’s.  Ed put the training wheels on Adam’s bike so that Isla could ride it.  When Adam saw that Kelsey’s old bike was pink and purple he did not want to try it but we really just wanted to see what size of bike we should get for him.  But when he found out his bike already had the training wheels back on it he decided to give Kelsey’s a try.  He did really well but it takes a bit of practice to get it going.  So I think that we will get the bigger bike and hope that it lasts more than a year!

Here are a couple of pictures from our adventure!
