Intros - June 13

We spend a morning at Kensington Village visiting the kids great great aunt.
She is 96 now (I think) and we hadn't had a chance to see her yet to introduce E. 
J, Grandma 21 and I went last summer to visit her while they had miniature horses staying on the premises. 
We went again this year, hoping to see the horses but we had missed them by one day ... darn! 
J still enjoyed our visit. He got to see a water fountain and splash his fingers in it, great stuff for a 2.5 year old. 
Great, great aunt M enjoyed our visit. It took a few repetitions of who we were, but by the end, she remembered who I was and who the children belonged to :) 

Enjoying a warm walk in the courtyard.

A snack with Grandma 21

Such a sweet heart!

Happy Birthday Daddy - June 9

J and I baked a cake for Daddy for his birthday. J was very excited to help. His favourite part ... picking out the icing at Superstore. 

Daddy and his two mini-me's.

I apologize, I didn't realize there was a problem posting comments. 
I am wondering if some settings got changed when Blogger had their shut down for a few days last month. 
I have changed a few settings, please let me know (by email I guess) if you still aren't able to post comments. 
Thanks

Leaking - June 3

My poor girl continues to get teeth, fast and furious. 
Her four front teeth are in and sharp!
It seems another set are right behind the first 4. 
This poor girl started "leaking" today. Her nose is running like crazy, clear luckily, and her poor eyes are watering as much as if she was crying. It just won't stop. 

Those poor red eyes are just heart breaking. She's been so good through this whole thing. She's gets a bit clingy for us towards nap time and bed time but otherwise, she's such a cheerful trooper. 

My fingers are crossed she stays agreeable with tylenol and her teething necklace. So far, so good.

Ice cream cake! June 1

I have noticed I have been a lot more lenient lets say with E's eating and additions to her growing diet. She has more teeth than Jude had and can use them well. She's learned the chewing motion and seems willing to try anything we'll give her. 
I would have never let J have ice cream, now look at this girl. 
It's hard saying no when she can see everyone else eating goodies and she wants some! 
This time, ice cream cake for Grandma's birthday! 

Yum. She almost bit off Papa's fork! She loves ice cream. 

Happy Birthday Mom - May 31/June 1

My mom turned 60 this year. She looks amazing. She's lost a bunch, like a 40lbs bunch, of weight with a lot of hard work. She's amazing. 
We planned a surprise birthday dinner out for her birthday. We celebrated a day early because hubby was going to the U2 concert on her actual birthday. 
We went to Ric's Grill here in the Park. It is nice and close and so my sister and I could leave our kids with our in-laws. Happy Mom's Birthday to us!!  

Sisters. Can you tell?

Me and C

Far park - May 30

Tonight we took an after dinner walk to the "far park." We have two parks within walking distance of our house, the closer one is insanely busy pretty much all day long and the slightly farther "far park" is in a slightly older area of our neighbourhood and it's pretty rare to run into anyone else there. 
We had a great time ... until the sun started to go down, the temperature dropped about 5 degrees and we were chased home by mosquitoes! 

J running all the way there!

Silly girl.

Daddy daughter time.

J's newest Thumbs Up and Smile. So funny!

Oops. I don't know if you can see it, but this one resulted in a face full of sand.

J pushing E home.

J's idea of a "piggy back ride" is to do a death grip around your neck and then just hang.

I love summer time!
