ROMulous

While in Toronto recently, we went to see the Vanity Fair photo exhibit at the ROM. If you haven't already, I strongly recommend going to see it -- if just for a few of the portraits (my favourites: Margaret Thatcher, Drew Barrymore and Lance Armstrong). I took this shot on the way out from the exhibit. There were thousands of these figurines in a display case: all perfectly lined up. I was jealous.

Colourful Collage Crowd

A shot from inside a café in Barcelona. The painting included pasted beer and water bottle labels along with old matchbook covers. The canvas was quite large: 10'x6'. All figures had their backs to viewer. If it were for sale, I would have bought it.

Mutton Soup

A menu (okay let's be honest: food) often has an impact on my recollection of a visit. In this case, the sandwich board did little to draw me in. Instead, it made me think, who would want to eat old sheep soup? Alas, I didn't go in to find out: instead, I snapped this and went on to eat my crustless cucumber sandwich in one of London's many well maintained parks.

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?
