Clothes make the man

Love is real , real is love
Love is feeling , feeling love
Love is wanting to be loved

Love is touch, touch is love
Love is reaching, reaching love
Love is asking to be loved

Love is you
You and me
Love is knowing
we can be

Drake celebrates his tenth

First Grandma, then Alden, now it's Drake's turn to celebrate being on planet earth. For his magical day, Drake had several requests:

1. Home made pizza for dinner
2. Unlimited screen time on the computer (one day only)
3. Chocolate Cake
4. He gets to stay up unit 10:10pm

His cake read: "Runescape Rules".
Pictured here is Drake enjoying some of his birthday wishes.

No Soup For YOU

Boys night in the Ducharme household. MoneyPenny off hobnobbing with colleagues stateside, the fastfood trio opted for "Soup Nite". The boys helped prepare seven different soups for "Tea" with the hope that they might like at least one for future reference. Drake loved the Chicken Curry, Marc was torn between the Pumpkin-Coconut Cream and the Tomato-Roast Capsicum. Alden, being the discerning taste-bud, gave the obligatory "thumbs-down" to all soups concerned. No worries there as that meant more soup for the other two! In case you are wondering, yes it was quite difficult emptying the pre-made soups from their cartons into the pans for heating. Let me tell you, there was heat in the kitchen last night!
