Linus Takes In The Experimental Farm

Linus and Dad pose before the cows munching area. Some goats wear collars and therefore must be dogs. We will call this goat 'goat dog.' Throughout the tour of the farm, Linus saw 'feathered dogs' (chickens) and 'wooly dogs' (sheep).

Linus and Papa lend a hand to make maple ice cream with the nice ice cream-making ladies.

Slumber Party

Linus and Mama spread out the blankets and put a dvd in the computer in Line's room for his first ever 'daddy is out of town sleep over party.' It was great fun...here are the highlights: Linus prepares for movie time by sharing his snacks with Rocket.
Linus gets sleepy but doesn't let go of the popcorn bowl.

Waking up from slumber party and ready to dance.

Fetes des Peres

For Fathers Day, we have had a pretty eventful day, and it is only 12:30 as we write!

The day started out with the Alterna Do It For Dad 5K to raise funds for research of prostate cancer. Linus, Dad and about 550 others went for a nice run on the scenic Rideau Canal. Mom was along to cheer and of course, to take many pictures.

At the start of the run, things are kind of crowded.


But then thinned out a little.


At the finish, there is time to pose for pictures, and soak in the glory of a job well done.
And to chow down on on a hard-earned banana (or two)!


Once all was said and done, Linus came in hair in front of Dad, and it shows, on the final stats at the end of the day. We can all agreed that next time, we need to reel in that Steve Paradine fellow.



Once we got back home, it was time to attend to more domestic duties, like making pretty pictures. Being Fathers' Day and all, Linus saw fit to make something special for Grandpa John:


And one for Grandpa Pat too!



Happy Father's Day to the grandpas and to the uncles out there.

Fun Firsts

There was Liney's first shake through a straw...it was delicious. Then there was the day care summer party with Liney's first run of the balls.

Everyone loves bouncy slides...

especially Linus.


The bouncy house was a thrill too.




The boys end the day with a balloon bracelet.


Liney's vocabulary is growing and while he still heavily favors 'ball' and 'dog' we hear things like 'du lait' and 'open the door' and 'ouvert' and 'donne'

It's like he's already dreaming of the Olympics:)
