I picked my dad & his girlfriend up at the airport today. It's so great having them here!! They are such good sports and stayed up until at least 11 pm, even though it was 2 am for them and they had been traveling all day from Montreal.
My brain is fried, which is usually what happens the first day I get together with my parents because I do a lot of switching back and forth from french to english. I haven't spoken french since the last time I was with them, which was January. When I'm speaking french, I have to search for words a lot now, even common little words. So frustrating because I grew up bilingual. But this is such a minor thing because it's so nice to have my dad and M here. Lola loves them so, and even Elise recognized my dad. She took a look at him, pointed and said "PaPa!". She has only seen him once in her life!
After dinner, Dan taught my folks how to play Tiger Woods golf on the Wii. They loved it! My dad's girlfriend, M, is a total natural and ended up kicking Dan's ass! Ha!
Lots of fun to be had in the next couple of weeks, but it makes me realize how much I miss Montreal!

Je me souviens :) I was raised bilingual too - I only think in french but rarely speak it :)
