Mountie Bear

J and I went to the airport today to meet a girl from Australia...J loved the Mountie bear!

Carrying Only Baby

J loves carrying Only Baby around on her back. The play silks are awesome for that! [And yes, the doll's name is Only Baby]

Common Signs

I'll be seeing a lot of this sign over the next few weeks...I am thankful for our medical system though...12 hours after I was discharged from the hospital, my phone started ringing. The hospital was calling to start booking the multitude of tests I'm going to have...

And Again

So, I spent a good part of today back at the hospital. Again, I'm fine, but really?!?!?!

Edited August 2: the whole story is here.

There It Is!

J and I went out for dinner with my mom tonight and then took the bus home...J loves the bus, but was confused about the multiple buses that went past us that we didn't get on.

Back Again

Our computer was on vacation at the computer doctor again, but it's home now. YAY!

So, this picture is from the future because I spent last night and a good part of the early morning today in the hospital. I'm fine. But it was an ordeal...

Edited July 27: A bit more about it here.

Shoulder Ride

J was so excited to go out with us today and get a shoulder ride from her daddy.

Winter Jammies

When we were in Kelowna we stumbled upon a huge sale - we got a bunch of stuff for J for the fall, including winter pjs. And guess who found the bag of clothes before bed tonight? We're not sure how she's sleeping...it's too warm for winter jammies.

Legs Up

A picture from yesterday...my small child, waking up...

Bagged Blueberries

Yesterday's blueberries are ready to be put in the freezer for winter.

Flower Glasses

The Haul

We picked up some veggies on our way back from Kelowna...yum!

Climbing Ogopogo

Date Night

We're in Kelowna and my parents sent us out for a night without J!

Bubble Blower

Knox Blox

Yummy squares with fruit! They were a hit!

Knox Gelatin

This cookbook appeared form the depths of my grandparents' storage room...my mom said there were multiple copies (my grandma probably bought them for each of her kids). We used to make one of the salads when I was a kid. I'm making a treat for J's daycare party tomorrow night and wow, there are some gross gelatin recipes in this book!

Bread!

Alex and J gave me a bread maker for my birthday...I'm so excited to start using it!

Big Five Game

Paula sent us these coasters when we got married...J loves them and thinks the one with all five is the guide for the "puzzle"...

Ice Cream!

 J fell and banged up her face last night at her cousin's birthday party...that's all I have for pictures today, so instead here is a picture of J loving her ice cream on Canada Day. Please excuse the crappy quality. I took it on my cell phone and it had readjusted itself to the lowest resolution.

Buzzy Birthday Cake

Bean Salad

Banana Leaf With Lallie

And An Orchid

And Harmony figures I'm not going to kill this, so she brought me an orchid...we'll see how that goes. Thanks everyone! I like flowers!

Purple And White

More flowers! These ones are from Aleks...thanks! They're lovely!

Garden Fresh Flowers

Some of my Allegretto cousins were at our little party yesterday - and they brought me beautiful flowers, straight from the garden! Thanks!

Cousin Love

J loves her cousin C. C, well, she's not so sure she loves J's snuggles (but maybe that's payback for the hair tugging...)

Delightful Dinner

We tried a new Jamie Oliver recipe tonight with salmon we picked up at Granville Island yesterday. J is a salmon lover and it was nice to find a recipe that she'd eat that was more than just a hunk of salmon.
