Lover's and Best Friend's Birthday

As I've mentioned on my other blog, April is month of birthdays in the Sianturi's. Today in fact is my father in law's birthday. April 2nd is my husband's birthday. April 5th is Bianca's. April 10th is my mother in law's. April 27th is Shinta's-Chris' sister's. And a lot more to come for Chris' cousins. So for me it is like the busiest month of the year beside December. Busy to greet them happy birthday, make phone calls, send birthday wishes, choose gifts and prepare party.

For my husband's birthday this year, at first I did not have any idea of what to give. I don't want to give something ordinary...clothing, including shoes , hats, belts, and other accessories to me are ordinary gifts. This time I wanted something special and...more, not in term of money..but more useful.
Lately, he's been begging to own GPS for our car and I kept postponing to say yes. So 3 days before his birthday, finally I said yes and let him order GPS from e-Bay. He found himself a very good deal on a brand new Navigon 7100, the one he 's been having his eyes laid on, and since it was available in Ontario, it will be easier for us to get it sent. I am so happy that at the end, we received the package exactly on his big day...so it was a perfect gift for him.


Later on that day, we went out for having dinner. It was so touching when he stated that he wanted to take me and Bianca to a restaurant which serve pasta-the food I like, as I know that he does not really like pastas. As for me, he needs not to do it, since it was his birthday, his special day...his preference should come first, why mine? However he insisted to go to that special place, and we did. I felt so touched, so loved...Thank you my lover and my best friend!


And on Sunday April 6th, after church service, we had a small party for Bianca and her dad. We did not tell all of the church members ahead of time that we would have party on that day. We just casually invited people to come down stair after the service for fellowshipping. I cooked the main dishes with the help of our good friend. Below are pictures of that small birthday celebration.


Once again, happy birthday my dear husband and daughter! Thank you Lord for days You have given to us..Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom...

More Snowy Places

As I've promised on the earlier post, here are some pictures of more snowy places...

The first two pictures were taken on early January 2008 after a snow storm in Montreal. The snow piling up on the road and pavement. Pedestrian needed to walk on the street together with cars and other vehicles since the pavement had not been cleared yet. For car owners it was not so nice way to exercise and build muscles.


Look at the white car covered by snow below...At that time, some cars got scratched by snow remover truck since they were not visible to the truck driver. It was not the driver's fault though..the car owner should move the car before the street was cleared out, but they did not do it.


The next four pictures were taken in Mississauga, ON during our Christmas holiday visit. It's at my in law's neighborhood.





It is spring time now in Montreal..however the weather is weird..two days ago we still had some flurries all day long. Fortunately it did not stay on the ground. We are expecting more warmer days and greenies to come...hopefully we are not going straightly to the next winter!

A Cold Windy Day in Quebec City

During Easter long weekend, Christian's parents came visiting us. They came over for spending some mutual times with Bianca, our daughter. They arrived on March 22, 2008 early in the morning. It was quite cold morning in Montreal.



Since they were in town, we wanted to entertain them and as they have been familiar with city of Montreal already, we decided this time we're gonna take them for a ride to Quebec City.
So we left on Saturday morning, we did not expect that Quebec City could get so cold on this time of year. When we got there, cold and strong wind welcome us. We could not bear the cold, thus we took a short walk to a cafe and stayed inside for sometimes. Apparently it was a wrong choice since the foods are so expensive there. None of us order food, except me..lucky me, pregnant woman..I got a privilege of ordering main menu, and I had fetucini alfredo, shared it with Bianca whilst every body else just got a cup of coffee.



After warming up, we took a walk again to take some pictures, but I could not stand for cold too long. We did it quick and the results are not that great. We went back to our car and headed back to Montreal. My father in law said that he wants to visit Quebec City again during summer. And yes...it's a great idea..Quebec City is a nice place to visit especially when it is a little warmer.
At the end...enjoy the not so great pictures!

Laugh Our Way

Simply Irresistible
After a party, as a couple was driving home, the woman asks her husband, "Honey, has anyone ever told you how handsome, sexy and irresistible to women you are?" The flattered husband said, "No, dear they haven't." Then the wife yells, "Then what the hell gave you THAT idea at the party tonight?"
