Canada and some new classes

In just a little over a week we'll be heading up to Canada again to teach at 3 different stores.  Yup, I'll  have some company this time because Mike is coming with me! Well, as long as he gets his renewed passport in time...

We'll be packing up the van with my Mom, both kids a whole LOT of scrapping goodies plus us and stopping along the way to visit my Aunt in Up-State, NY...gotta love having relatives around the country!  My Mom and the kids will be spending a few days with her while Mike and I are only staying overnight and heading across the border in to Toronto.
