I can't take credit for this photo, I just really love it...today is Remembrance Day and I didn't bring my camera to the town assembly. Stephan and Kimball went early to be with the cub scouts, they held a flag and laid a wreath, and the rest of us came at 10:30. I am so glad we went. It was probably the most meaningful remembrance day we've had as a family. The children all bowed their heads for the moment of silence and all wanted to wear poppies. I actually listened to the poem In Flanders Fields for the first time in a long time. Norah fell asleep sitting on my feet. It brought tears to my eyes as I saw one dad, dressed in his military suit saluting during the lament. The little boy in his arms was saluting too. He kept looking at his dad, making sure he was doing it right. It was wonderful to be standing in and among military and civilian Canadians, all there to pay their respects and remember.
