Catch-up time! Here are a few random photos from the last couple of weeks.

A funny photo taken with Googie's ipod touch.

Playing house with Coco Tony at Moma and Googie's house

Story time

The kids and I met up with Tony and Jo for a walk at Jericho beach. Jo brought along her mom's dogs, Rosie and Rufus. Both of my kids love animals...especially dogs. A good time was had by all!

Swim class! Sammy loves swimming and is really enjoying her lessons. The goggles are an essential part of the whole swimming experience!!

Floating for 10 seconds

I have a whole bunch of photos to post in the next couple of days, but thought I'd share these great videos first. We are very proud of our big girl and, as you can see, she is quite proud of herself!!

Sorry for allof  my chit-chat on the videos. I've got to remember to keep quiet!

Miles dumpster...no wait, toy box diving!

Gotta look good while brushing your teeth!

Bed time stories with Katy

A quick visit with Granny before she heads back to Ottawa.

With Miles' facial expression...

...and Sammy's, you can tell they are siblings! They've got that serious don't-mess-with-me look down. I wonder where they get it from..? 

Sammy was lucky enough to have her face painted twice at the Children's Festival. This was her Saturday look and the cat (see previous post) was her Sunday look.

Sammy walked all the way up from Granville Island flapping her arms as if they were butterfly wings.

A few recent iphone pictures (and by recent I mean from the last 6 months!!)

Sammy and the goats at Maple wood Farm

Miles' first haircut!!

Just can't keep our monkey out of the trees

'Rock climbing' with Googie at Lynn Headwaters. Sammy ended up with a wet skirt, wet tights and wet runners. She wasn't happy about it, but we explained that getting wet was part of the adventure!

Face painting at the Vancouver Children's Festival

Sammy was meowing all day. Very cute, until you actually need a real answer out of her!

Easter

We got together with friends and family for a big Easter egg hunt on Sunday morning. Thanks to Ken and Janet for hosting, and for allowing the Easter Bunny the use of your backyard!

The hunt is on!

The on-lookers

'I don't know what is going on, but everyone seems to be having fun!'

'What exactly am I supposed to do with these..?'

This past weekend, Vancouver was gorgeous. Unfortunately, we spent most of the time being sick with bad head colds. We did manage to get out in the sunshine a bit with a picnic at Queen Elizabeth park.

Sammy modeling her new hat...and Brad's boots!

Miles can see himself in Brad's sunglasses.

First Beach Visit of the Season (from a couple of weeks ago)

Lunch at Jericho Beach

Sammy calls them 'eagles'...she's a bit confused!

Packing the sand...
