More relatives

Aug 22, 2005 by Mike Browne in Adoption

Lookie! It's Dianne, me and Phil my half brother.

On Sunday we went to Truro to meet brother Phil and some more family. We met at brother J-P and wife Andrea's place for some food and chit chat. Andrea sure has her hands full with Max and Carlie (two great kids) while J-P is working in Alberta. There were so many people to meet I hope I have them all in somewhat flattering poses.

Here's Auntie Carol and Max. He was fascinated with her camera as apparently he is with most gadgetry. He'll no doubt be an engineer.

Half-sister-in-law Andrea and niece Carlie. Andrea loves her kids. Easy to see why, they're so cute.

Dianne and her best pal (who's extremely cool) Martina who just so happens to be a former RCMP officer, but we won't hold that against her. Hehe! It was Martina's birthday the day before. Happy birthday Martina!

Phil and his girlfriend and second birthday girl, Michelle. They were off to goth night in Halifax last night. We were sad we weren't invited, but maybe next time. Michelle's writing her thesis on Edgar Allen Poe. Boo scary! I love Poe, so she can stay. :)

We had a great time. I can't wait to see everyone again.

Love the pictures! So glad you could meet the rest of the "half-family" and hopefully J-P will be here the next time you come to visit. There is also my half brother and my step-dad to meet! I so enjoyed every second with you and also can't wait to see you again..

This is WAY COOL, Mr Browne. I'll be at the Coast for the Retreat in September. Lets hook up so I can hear about this experience - not just see it.

Hey Mike, sorry I couldn't be there for the meet and greet. I did get my assignment today so I should be pretty busy for the next while. We'll have to arrange a meet the next time we are down home.

I didn't know you got any pictures of me until I saw this!

I also don't get to check your blog all that often because I usually just hae enough time to read my friends list on Live Journal. A friend of mine who also writes on another blog tends to post a link on her Live Journal when she posts at the other place. It helps out us lazy folk. ;)
