Round and Round the Garden

One of Ella favorite songs/games is called Round and Round the Garden. We've been doing it with her for a while, now she's teaching it to her little sister.

Juju Climbin'

Juliette is really motoring around these days. She loves to follow Ella around and get into whatever her big sister is playing with. Here's a video of Juju climbing all the way up the stairs.

Mamma and Juju campin'

On Friday afternoon, Mamma, Juju, Moo and about 30 other ladies from our church went to Camp Stillwood for a weekend retreat. So Dadda and Ella got to spend the whole weekend together for the first time. On Friday, we had a date night together eating dinner and cookies that Mamma and Moo had made for us. Mmmmore cookies!

On Saturday, some of the dads met up at the Events Centre park for some sipping, chatting and playing well, despite the light drizzle. Above are Ella and Jonas on bouncy bee.

Here are Howard, Keith and Mike with the little ones, Hudson, Ella and Jonas.

After lunch, I was cleaning up in the kitchen and Ella came to see me holding all of her tea party paraphernalia and said " Dadda hava tea party ". How can you say no to that?

Girl Guide Cookies

Last week a Girl Guide came knocking on our door and Ella got to try her first Girl Guide cookie.

Spencer was excited to come home and see that Hudson had changed into a cougars shirt. The cougar is Spencer's school mascot and he is usually wearing some free school gear with the cougar logo.

Ella has been very into her baby lately. She likes to go upstairs and get a diaper so that she can "change" her baby. She lies the baby on her back and then turns her onto her side and tells the baby "no flipping over". It is very funny to hear her repeat what she hears on a regular basis.

Look who has jumped on the bandwagon...

To the CCF's dismay, Hudson is waving the Canucks' flag.

Go Canucks Go!

Just another day at the park

The weather was beautiful on Wednesday and so we got together with some friends and went to the park. Juju was very comfortable in Moo's arms and fell right asleep.

Jonas brought his strider bike to the park and Ella decided to take a turn. I think she is trying to give Momma and Dadda a hint for a birthday present. Strider bikes are the new way to learn how to ride a bicycle. Instead of using training wheels, kids learn by pushing themselves along by foot. This way they know how to balance on two wheels right from the start.
