School is almost over!!!

Wow, I can't believe that school is almost finished. Less than two weeks and my boy will be going into grade 1. Aidan will be in JK. Now I just have to figure out how to keep them occupied for the whole summer!
We have been spending every afternoon at our local park across the street. It has a park and a splash park so the kids have a blast while Priya and I try to find shade. Many of the boys friends all meet at the park around 3:30 every day and it is great to see the friendships growing. Liam has also really begun having more friends come over and vice versa, so it seems he is a little boy no more.
Aidan has been enjoying his more quiet mornings with me. Priya naps from 9 ish to 10:30 in the morning, leaving Aidan with me to have some time together. He is so relaxed and loves to cuddle.
Priya is now on the move. She is shuffling around in a sort of a crawl and is not satisfied with being still any longer. She is go, go, go! She is also loving her food and now getting very upset when she sees me eating nacho chips and she only has a lame-o baby cracker. She is all about solid food and will probably be off baby food earlier than the boys. Still only two teeth though so I am holding back on some foods that I know she wants to try. Apples are a big one. She will cry if she sees someone eating an apple. She wants the whole thing.



Priya chillen out in the shade. She can hold her own bottle now which is really helpful.


This is the park where we spend our afternoons. Just behind the kids is a regular park they often go back and forth to.


Aidan all wet from the splash park, taking a break to catch his breath.



Priya's got a tattoo that says, MOM!!


Liam's class, he is in the middle.


Their teacher had the kids dancing in partners and it was the cutest thing I've seen.



Here is Liam getting his ticket into Grade 1.

Family Photos

We had a busy weekend this weekend. Had a garage sale and Aidan's first day of soccer on Saturday morning. In the afternoon my good friend Amelia shaved her head and donated her hair to the Angel Hair Foundation to help make a wig for a child with cancer. She also did fundraising and presented CHEO with a cheque for approx $4000 at their yearly telethon. What a brave and wonderful thing to do. I went to help her at Carlingwood mall where she was raising money and actually had her hair shaved for all to see. http://www.ameliayap.com/

On Sunday, a friend and former co-worker Derrick Rice came to take some family photos. We had a great time and I have attached a link to see some of his amazing work. He has a great slide show of our photoshoot on his site. The kids look so amazing!

I hope everyone has a great week!

ING Half Marathon



Well I finally did the run! Don't be fooled by the three hours on the time clock, that was for the full marathon. I got 21K done in 1 hour 55 minutes!!! I was so happy to finish under two hours. It was a great run, my training partners all finished all less than a minute between us. What a wonderful experience.

The family is all doing well, Liam is now in soccer and t-ball and Aidan starts soccer on Saturday. With Glen's soccer we have a full time roster. Glad to be done the training because there is literally no time right now. Looking foward to summer holidays.

Hope everyone has a great weekend, will post more photos of the kiddies soon.
