Erika and Justin did a roadtrip this weekend to see their cool cousins in Waterloo. It was Keegans birthday so aside from the pizza and cake there was the usual… dress up, video gaming, magnet dropping, piano playing, puzzle doing, yelling, screaming, laughing and of course the slot-machine on full tilt in the basement !! Best part… we all slept over. Justin loved hang’in in the bunk beds.

Keegan has been playing piano now for 4 years and he gave us a little show with some great tunes of course with his sister Taryn on vocals…. you can see little Aislin in this video too… she is anxious to get on the keys too. Erika has only been in her piano lessons now for about 5 weeks or so and was a little shy after hearing Keegan bounce out his “Beaver Town Boogie” - we’ll keep practicing and get her up here soon playing for Christmas maybe. Speaking of holidays… we will all be together again as the Martin family comes to visit Erika and Justin.

Joel Plaskett live in Rochester, New York on November 2, 2007 opening for the Tragically Hip at the Auditorium Theater… comes out afterwards to say “hello” to Erika and Justin… see below ! While working the Tragically Hip concert in Rochester I got to meet Joel Plaskett after his opening set. He came out to sign some of his CD’s for fans… so I grabbed one and asked for an autograph for Erika and Justin after explaining how we all enjoy his music..with our favourite tune off the new CD being “snowed in/Cruisin’” the song above.I followed that up by asking him to say “hello” to both Justin and Erika on camera. Check Joel out…
