In mid-January, on a bitterly cold and windy but very clear day, we left for Montreal, spending the night in Levis, complete with fire alarm in the hotel just as we were about go to bed! It was a picture-perfect drive as we headed north and the snow was heavier on the trees in Northern NB and into Quebec. We did stop briefly to take some pictures of an ice-fishing village in Sainte Anne de la Parade-you might think this is a permanent fixture, but this is all built on the river emptying out into the St. Lawrence!
We drove to Ottawa on Beth's birthday to visit her, Sil and Madison (nearly two years old). She was quite taken with "Baby Eh-yiot"!
In the afternoon we went to see Auntie Elinor for tea in her downtown apartment:
Ben took the "official" 4 month old pictures of Elliott when we got back to Montreal-here is a sample:

Aunty Sissy came from Denver at the end of January to visit before Elliott's christening. We had a busy week, including a celebration of Christmas in January!
More later...
