Vacation Photos

Earlier this week we completed our 12-day, 2,024 km jaunt through Southern Ontario, with stops in Ancaster, Kitchener, Thornbury, Grimsby, and Cobourg (among others). The trip included a wedding (Tara and Martin), a birth (Kyle and Sue), a baby shower (Evan and Johanna), and lots of time catching up with family and friends.Here are a few pics from the past couple of weeks…

It was hard to get A out of the pool most days.

I think I’ve been neglecting the “family life” portion of the blog. In an effort to make amends, I present for you a few pictures from last weekend’s CHEO Teddy Bear Picnic.
B, A, and K (who’s mugging for the camera).

May is for Birthdays

A and K are both May babies, so we’ve been busy baking cakes and wrapping presents. K turned 2 last week and we had a fairly quiet evening, while A turns 4 on Saturday.

Saturday was anything but quiet as we hosted a birthday party for both the boys. A room of 14 children under the age of 5 is already fairly noisy, but when you add Mike from Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo and his menagerie of creepy crawlies, the energy level goes through the roof.

It was actually a pretty cool party. Mike brought a tarantula, a huge millipede, some lizards, a cane toad, two snakes, and a snapping turtle. I was O.K. with it for the most part, although I was a little worried that the turtle might take a kid’s finger off. I also had images of kids licking the cane toad and then rolling around on the floor having hallucinations.

For some reason, the thought of a bunch of adults coming to our house turned me into a Martha Stewart wannabe. Suddenly the front door needed to be painted, photos had to be framed and hung, the piano polished, windows washed. Of course, hours of cleaning were quickly undone as kids ground chocolate cake into the carpet, but at least the place was presentable for the first few guests.

Recent Pictures

B’s taken a few good pictures over the last few weeks, so I thought I’d share.

K doing his best Bob the Builder impersonation.

A was really happy with his new swimming goggles.

Trust me, this kind of brotherly love is not a regular occurrence.

Happy Birthday

Giving a belated birthday shout-out to my main squeeze, B, who reached the big thirty-something yesterday. Yes, there’s no better story than a Dearlove born on St. Valentine’s Day.

We had a pretty quiet family affair at home last night. The boys were eager to blow out the candles and tried to get a head start on unwrapping the presents. There’s also nothing cuter than watching a one-year old shovel chocolate cake into his mouth using just his bare hands.
