The Next Einstein?

This week the Perimeter Institute (our local theoretical physics think tank) is holding a science festival called Q2C (Quantum to Cosmos).

Pat has gone to a few of the talks and last night we took Maeve to the "Physica Phantastica" exhibit. They had the Mars Rover prototype, face paint that glowed under UV light, a dark matter exhibit, a demonstration of superconductor levitation and lots of other stuff.

Maeve had a great time. Is it too soon to sign her up for a physics class?

Maeve and Pat on Mars.
Cool! It glows.
Hey it floats. How does it do that?
Oh, I can fix that for you daddy.
This is what facinated Maeve the most. She thought it looked fun, but didn't want to go on it. Nor did she want her daddy or mama to go on it.

Happy Thanksgiving

Summer is really over I guess. I managed to squeeze some fun in between the raindrops. Here's a picture of me and cousin Robyn dressing up at the Natural History Museum. We always have a lot of fun visiting, but she lives too far away to play with everyday.

Guess what? I'm going to be flying to China soon to meet my new mei mei Elspeth! She is just 15 months old now (16 months when I finally meet her). She is going to be pretty small compared to me! I'm going to teach her everything I've learned since I came to Canada. Then I'll have someone to play with every day.

We are leaving in 3 weeks. I thought I should come to Ottawa to visit my Popo and GungGung and some of my friends before I become too busy taking care of mei mei to spend any quality time with them.

Mom says we are supposed to say what we are thankful for today, so here's my list. I am thankful for my forever family, my grandparents, my aunts and uncles, my cousins, my xinyu sisters, my friends and my new mei mei. I am thankful she will be coming home in time for Christmas. I'll have to warn her about that Santa guy though...he's a little bit scary.

Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving. And if you can, get outside and frolick in the leaves.
