The Sephton Family Visit

June 30 - July 11, 2007

Here are a few pictures from my trip to see the new addition to the family. It was a very relaxing trip and I had a little bonding time with my niece. Memories to highlight:






  • Dancing in the kitchen with Lois to "All I Ask of You" from the Phantom of the Opera,


  • Getting Lois to Smile (more than once!),


  • Letting Hilary and Mark convince me to try a Twister (very, very refreshing),


  • Helping Hilary and Mark's friends Gordon and Beth move (seems to be a staple in my holidays),


  • Hearing Hilary say "Where are you now?" every time she found me reading The Woman in White (a book she recommended),


  • Going out to Coombe Abbey one of the two days the sun was out.


  • Going to a Lord of the Rings DVD Trivia night hosted by Mark's sister Jeni and actually getting some of the questions right tying for last place with all of the rest of the teams that didn't win.

Hilary's friend Crystal from High school was also over visiting for a few days. I think that is the closest I will ever get to a paparazzi looking shot.
Mark made a lovely daisy chain for his daughter while we were at Coombe Abbey
