Oma's for Lunch

Everyone's happy after a really nice lunch.

Oma tries to contain squiggle butt.

Megan's Getting Bigger

"No, I won't eat those cut up bits! I will have melon on the rind like all the rest of you!!"

Megan gets around pretty quickly now, and this is her favourite place to hang out - where she can hang over the ledge and check out everyone's SHOES!

Maplewood

Ummm, that's not Niko Bevin...

Katie rests up after chasing the goats.

Katie loved feeding this baby goat the grass from the bottom of the tire - the goat was happy not to have to get down for his meal.

Megan hangs with Aunty.

Everyone cools down with popsicles.

Ballet and Ben's Birthday

Saturday is ballet day around here.
Katie tries out the new skirt she got from Aunt Lorna for her birthday. Yup it arabesques pretty good.

My apologies for all the pictures that follow. I tried to cut it way down and managed to not post every picture, but there are so many great ones!

That's quite the look Katie!

Wow! An arabesque with straight legs! She might be getting it.

And then on to Ben's birthday and the bouncy castle! Another very good use for a ballet skirt.

Oh Daddy! You are funny!

Getting Ready to Leave

It's always time to go too soon.
Katie "helps" put things away. Tut tut, it looks like rain!

More Saturna

Low tide makes everything look very different. Katie enjoys checking out the rocks.

And the forest on the way home.

Megan looking cute. Need I say more?

I can almost hear the earpiercing shriek that accompanies this face!

Happy Mother's Day

We made it to Saturna for a long weekend. What better Mother's Day present could there be?
Me and my wonderful girls at Shell Beach.

Megan is getting good at posing.

Katie's Birthday Party

I could only catch all the kids together and still when there was food on the table. In attendance, clockwise from Katie, Victoria, Ryan, and Justin. Thanks for coming out guys!

Oh, and Justin brought Nathan to keep Megan happy.

And then there was strawberry cake as promised. Thank you Katie for forgetting about the Pooh Bear cake request.

Katie's 3

Katie turned 3 today. She got to open her presents in the morning before school - she couldn't wait for later!

Beads from Grandma!

What's in here?

Megan hangs out and watches the action.
