Mexican Souvenir

Okay, maybe not exactly a souvenir that we brought back from Mexico, but rather a souvenir of Mexico -- because you know all the babies wear ponchos, right? This is little Oscar at nine months at a Mexican themed dinner that we had chez nous.

It's a Fact: Kael Likes Ice Cream

Last Saturday, while mom was packing and dad was gone to work on his bicycle, Kael made his way down to the Pointe for a little visit. We discovered that he likes ice cream -- a lot. Unfortunately, we didn't realise that this might prevent him from napping. Although the sugar eventually wore off, and he did sleep, we've learned our lesson! We had a super fun-filled day with Kael, who draws a lot of attention because of his hair, and then locks them in with his charm.

A Natural

We waited patiently for nearly four weeks (sheesh), but he finally came! This is Oscar, Claire and Simon's new little boy -- although little isn't a word I would use to describe him compared to other new borns, he is smaller than us. Big feet and super long legs: his mother tells me that he is in the 105% percentile.
The other guy is my husband, and a natural baby holder, don'tcha think?

Stealing Naps

Trev and I had two little ones for a part of last weekend. We had a great time during their whirlwind visit, and found ourselves ready for naps at just about the same time as them... After reading Nikola her pre-nap story, I made my way up to our bedroom but found a snoozing Julien had stolen my spot -- right next to a passed out Trevor I might add. Needless to say, I tip-toed out and promptly crashed on the couch.

Easter

This shot was taken a few weeks back, over the Easter weekend. We went over to Ellis/Gourment house for an egg decorating party. While the kids painted their eggs the adults hid treats for the little ones in other parts of the house. Not all the kids were as unsuspecting as others. Mr. T had to shoo away one who knew exactly what was going on. Nevertheless, all off the munchkins shrieked in delight when they found a treat.

Happy Orthodox Easter, for those celebrating this weekend!
