Garneau’s

Yes, we just got back from India and we had a great time. But for some reason, going on a family vacation is different from going to see and visit family. This was our first family vacation with Micah’s mom, his sister, Shelby, her husband Jim and their beautiful daughter Olivia (2 years) in Florida. We had FUN for four full days. We went non-stop from place to place, visiting parks as much as we could. Within 4 days of our time in Orlando, we went to Downtown Disney, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Magical Kingdom, Sleuths Mystery Dinner, Wet n Wild Water Parks. We had an amazing time watching Jonah and Olivia play together and trying to talk with each other.

You know, they say, all fun must come to an end and our time in Orlando just flew so fast and it was time to get back to MN. Rebekah was sad to leave Florida. It reminded her of warm weather like in India and she saw tons of Indians at the disney world. Jonah was trying to keep up with Olivia and he definitely enjoyed all the rides that he was allowed to go. For some rides, he was just speechless…not that he says much anyways.

It’s been a while since I posted any article in our website. The three of us were in Chennai, India. It was so good to be home, enjoy home cooked meals, have people wait on you….I can live with that. My beautiful younger sister got engaged while we were there. We are happy for her - it’s an arranged love marriage, yes that’s right, that is what I will call it. She met her fiance for the first time on his birthday and they went on a date. They both decided that they will be happy with each other and decided to get married. Ebenezer, my sister’s fiance, is a fun loving guy and works in Bristol, England. A week after their first date, there was an official engagement ceremony. It was wonderful to celebrate my sister’s engagement and Jonah had a fabulous time.

Jonah did pretty alright while travelling, although I should say that travelling alone with him was not very smart, but oh well, anything for family right?  Jonah is 18 months old now and is very very very busy. He definitely keeps me busy. We have moved to the first floor now and we are closer to the children’s park. Jonah loves to play all the time. We are all doing good. Would love to hear from you…do drop us a line…

Yes, I just turned 30 on December 2. It was a wonderful birthday, one of the best in recent years. Micah took me out for a nice lunch at Red Stone… a fancy restaurant, kinda famous because the Vikings usually hangout there a lot, and few famous people go there. It was so wonderful to have varieties of appetizers and drink strawberry lemonade and oh, the big piece of the birthday cake with the sparkling candle. On top of all this, Micah gifted me a gold watch with a rectangle dial that has diamonds on it. Oh, just my style….bling, bling, bling. He totally surprised me with it and I was over thrilled. The whole day was fun and fun to celebrate with friends and my own little family. Above all, I thank God for carrying me through 30 years of life. I am thankful that I am alive and healthy and blessed with marriage and a darling boy. Check out our new pictures from December 2. Love to you all….Rebekah

Jonah turned one on October 26. Can’t believe it’s been a year already. We thank God for blessing Jonah and taking care of him and keeping him safe. To celebrate what the Lord has blessed us with, we had a fun birthday party for Jonah. It was special to have Micah’s mom, Grammie Garneau, to be at his party on that day. The party was at the Bethany Barn, for those of you who haven’t seen this place, it’s very very cool. The barn is also place where Micah and I had our wedding reception. Micah was able to take the day off and the three of us went out that morning to the mall, costco (to pick up the cake) and party america. It was so much fun and the three of us had a fun time. On our way home, we picked up naan (indian bread) and butter chicken gravy from our favorite indian restaurant. Rebekah had cooked vegetable gravy that morning before we all went out. The whole day was busy but I enjoyed every single moment and yes, Jonah was so happy to hold on to his birthday balloon.
The dinner party started at 5:30 in the evening and almost everyone we invited had come to the party. There was this fun blow up thing (i don’t know what to call that), where kids can jump in. Everyone had a good time. We were both thankful that it was a blessed time for the kids and their parents. I have posted some pictures of his birthday party in this website. Check it out, if you can.
