Winnipeg: Exotic and Obscure

Winnipeg was highlighted in The Office this past week and in the Winnipeg newspaper that was talking about how the writers decided which city to choose for where the Dunder Mifflin team were going on their international business trip, they said that they chose Winnipeg because it was exotic and obscure...

They failed to mention how cold it can get...

Anyway, so I just got back from a real trip to Winnipeg where my family was able to gather together to honour and celebrate the life of my mom. It was a pleasant experience full of tears, laughter, reflection, love, hugs, and plenty of bum swatting. We have been very blessed to have my mom in our lives and in her own life she was able to touch the lives of many others everywhere she's been. Heavenly Father has been very kind to our family and has shown His love to our family through our many friends and other family members. Thank you to everyone who has expressed their thoughts, condolences and love, and who have offered many prayers in our behalf. It is greatly appreciated. Clarence posted mom's obituary on his blog so feel free to read about my amazing mother!

Dad, me and Mic

J, me, and Clarence

Andrew and James (who is Clarence's)

Extended family who was able to come

Our family and my grandma.

You may be wondering where Clarence and his family were during all these pictures. Well, before all those pictures were taken, we attempted to take their family picture, but it was apparent that naps were needed all around....

Well at least Clarence and Annie are smiling. Though James looks like he's being tortured, I promise they are great parents! Hahaha.

The family... minus a very pregnant Liew and Andersen (Andrew's family), and Heather who just gave birth the day after mom passed away, Ashlyn, and brand new baby Jaxon (Jason's family).

Thanks again to everyone for your support and love. We love you too!
