Red Wing Live

Go Wings Go

Wings play Senators

On Jan 12, 2008 Eric, myself and Maxime ventured off on a McCoy Bus ride to see Detroit play Ottawa. Eric had not seen them live in about 4 years, so it was time to go! It was also our Christmas gift (thanks Eric:) This was Maxime's first NHL game, actually his first live hockey game ever! He enjoyed it up until the Ottawa scored and the Via rail make believe train honk its way through the stadium at extremely high decibels! The he would cry hysterically, made me feel like a bad Mom for taking him, but incidentally it was the only time he cried, so we chalked it up to him being a true Red Wings fan....... a proud moment for Dad:) But despite Maxime's protest the Wings lost 3-2, an exciting third period as the Wings tied it up from being 2-0, but then Ottawa scored with 4 minutes left. Steve Yzerman also dropped the ceremonial puck, as he had been inducted into Ottawa's hockey hall of fame that same weekend, this was a real treat for Eric. Really Eric should do this post as I may be butchering it, but I have the pictures on my camera, so here they are!!!

The Triplet's cribS

It was not until I saw the three cribs all lined up that it hit me "there is 3!!!" Any time in the future when I whine about being too busy, I'll look back on this picture and say "I have it easy!!!"

Maxime's first trip to Windsor to see Mimi and Grandpa Webster

Here is Maxime on the train:

It's Erin signing on to describe Maxime's first trip to Windsor to see to see his grandparents:) Eric suggested I might as well travel a bit while I'm off work on Maternity leave so I thought...."I'll take Maxime to see Mimi!"

Maxime and I left on New Years Day to "ride the rails", a 9 hour train ride to Windsor. It didn't seem that long because we sat with a nice girl, "Christina" who got on the train in Belleville. Also by the time I changed Maxime, fed him and he slept (repeating this sequence 4 times) we arrived to be greeted by Ron and Denise, right on the track!

We are having a wonderful time visiting, yesterday we saw Brenda, Steve and their adorable triplets, Sara, Issac and Dillon, aka "Dilly", each whom turned two in November. Brenda and Steve have their hands full, to say the least! They are amazing parents and you can tell by how well behaved the kids are. Both Steve and Brenda love babies, they scooped Maxime up right away and played with him the whole time we visited.

Of course a trip to Windsor is never complete without getting some Red Wings gear for Eric, shhh..... its a surprise:) Maxime also got spoiled by Mimi and Ron, scoring a cute Redwings outfit, miniature wings hat (just in time for the Wings game we are going to in Ottawa on Jan 12) and some PJ's.

There is more fun to be had since we don't leave till Sunday, so I'll post again when we get back to Kingston.
