Came up to Vancouver today to attend my really good friend's, Stephane's, wedding. We're staying at a B&B called OceanBreeze in their French Provincial room. Located in N. Vancouver, the amenities aren't too bad given our budget. I was aiming for about 120-130/night and we came in at around 145. Cute room with king bed and a view of downtown over the bay. No tub, but nice shower. Owner is German, I think, based on accent, but it's a guess. She's been very welcoming and even let us in without being here by leaving a key under the mat. So far, I like it. I look forward to breakfast tomorrow.

 Seeing Steph and Laura tonight was wonderful! It's been so long since I last saw them, and they were so quick to see and greet us at the rehearsal dinner. Let's see, I met parents on both sides and Steph's uncles, some of Laura's best school friends and met up again with Steph's brother and his girlfriend. Seeing Sebastian again brought back memories of game nights at Steph's old apt. in Montreal.

Lisa is currently relaxing by continuing her biography read on Howard Hughes. *sigh* Really nice to have a few days without the kids.

It all started with an innocent cough from Kitten on Monday leading to hospital Wednesday... and culminated with both twins spending Friday afternoon/night and Saturday morning at the hospital after being diagnosed with pneumonia. Lisa took this photo of the girls sharing a bed when not yelling over one another or squabbling over a snack. Yes, confined spaces and multiples is a piece of cake (ay! shush it over there, I'm only typing cake not serving it!).

Funny moments from this event:

A. At least two of the nurses remember the girls just after they were born and had to 'bake a little more'. I mean who wouldn't forget the Thompson twins, I guess.

B. My supportive coworkers sent a little 'get well soon' package to Kitten... It arrived the day after they ordered, just in time for Princess to arrive and note she didn't have one. Of course! :-)

C. Researched and updated Lisa's cell phone ROM while at hospital. Nurses probably thought I was the most terrible dad seeing me hunkered down in front of my laptop most of the time Kitten was occupied or sleeping.

Currently, Kitten is still at hospital while I'm at home with the other two. Princess seems on the mend, but still a little weazy. I'm guessing a 50-50 Kitten can come home tonight.
