J and her Papa checked out some caterpillars in the garden this afternoon. How exciting!!

New Pillows

J is having fun cuddling with the pillows we got for the bedroom sprucing up project.

168

Getting There

New bedding for the new bed. Hopefully the room is on its way to being spruced up!

167

First Sunset Of The Summer?

166

What's That?

165

Blast From The Past

When we visit my parents, J gets to play with my old stuff (well, some of it belonged to Kelsey and Rebecca too). She loves sitting at this little table and this afternoon I discovered these old puzzles. Who thought she'd died and gone to heaven?!?!?!

Paul Harris Fellow And Rotarian Of The Year

This is the reason we're in Kelowna this weekend. My dad was installed as president of his Rotary club. What Kelsey didn't know was that my parents had arranged to recognize her for her work in Kenya with a Paul Harris Fellow. The Rotary club made a donation so that she could buy the orphanage a cow. To top the evening off, my dad was also named Rotarian of the year. What a great night! Here we all are (minus J who got hang with an awesome sitter!)

Summer's Evening

Oh what I'd do for a backyard....

What A Blah Room

We got a new bed today. But our bedroom is kind of neutral blah...I went and looked for some new bedding on the weekend, but all I could find was grey or navy. We live in Vancouver. It rains. A lot. And it's grey. And our bedroom faces north. We're going away this weekend, so I'm hoping I'll find something happier in Kelowna!

Concentration

Colouring is serious stuff guys!

Oh So Comfortable

While I was cleaning up from breakfast, I heard a strange noise - silence. There was J on the couch with some books. And she had gone into her room and dragged a blanket out to keep her warm!

155

Flower Shoes

or head and shoulders knees and toes. Your pick.

154

Sluggish

This lovely thing was waiting for me when I wandered down the path outside our office this morning. It's huge!

153

Jocie's Baby

J got this pretty porcelain clown from Mama. It's a music box and J loves listening to it! She called it her baby and the first thing she wants to do in the morning when she gets up is listen to her "baby"

152

Invasion

We went out to eat after we took J to the aquarium earlier this week. J brought this home with her and I now trip on it all the time...know what it is?!?!

151

Colourful Groceries

This is what my grocery buggy looked like tonight. Look at all those yummy fruits and vegetables ready for lunches this week (oh, and I am not looking forward to going back to work. A week is hardly long enough!)

That Guy Did It

Not me. I didn't steal Mama's cane. No way!

148

Going To Mama's House

Doesn't she look thrilled? No matter how well I tried to schedule car time and ferry time around nap time, do you think little miss would sleep? Nope. She fells asleep about 20 minutes before we arrived. Figures!

147

Gotta. Get. Outside.

J is now fully capable of reaching the door handles in our apartment. And because they're all this style, she can pull down and push most of them open. She can't get them open as often if they're the pull down and pull type, but she's working on it. Now, the front door is pretty much always locked (she can also reach the elevator button, although she can't always push hard enough on it to call the elevator - in case we needed more than the normal motivation to keep our front door locked). This morning she decided that if she got her plastic keys, that would be the perfect solution and she could probably break out!

Ready For Bed...And The Elements

Oh, and Happy Birthday Daddy-Alex.
