Flashback Friday...

This is the summer of 2006... Oh, what a summer it was!!!

Lions and Tigers and Bears, OH MY!!

Yesterday, I had a day off, time with just my squidgy man and me (and our dear friends Cooper and Tracy).  We packed up the truck with a days worth of goodies and headed to the Toronto Zoo.  We spent the ENTIRE day there.  The weather was beautiful (a definite change to the arctic weather out there today), it was quiet and the animals were all out and about to entertain us all.  What else can you ask for? Beautiful weather, fresh air, lots of exercise, lots to see and a day spent together :-)

From under the sea:

To the Arctic playground:

To an African Safari:

We heard the call of the wild:

and then we answered the dinner bell, and jumped in our safari jeeps to head home (ok, not really, but the boys certainly had fun pretending we did)

and we didn't go to THIS home, but what a cool place to hang out and tell a few tales of the people who did live here. (did I mention this cool place is educational too, who would have thought?)

i heart faces: Smiles

I love this picture, it is definitely a favourite.  This is my wee squidgy around 6 or 7 months.  He has the best smile, but this toothless burst of smile just melts my heart.

A Weekend of Celebration

This weekend was spent with much family and friends and thoroughly enjoyed.  We celebrated my brother in law and his dad's birthdays this Saturday.  It was a delicious, relaxing, fun filled afternoon. Happy Birthday Brian and John!

An Artsy Saturday Morn....

While mom went shopping this morning for a busy birthday party this afternoon (pictures sure to follow), Dad and Squidgy stayed home, relaxed and apparently worked on some art projects...

Flashback Friday... An Early Edition!

I figured since I was late last week, I would make up for it and be early this week :-)

This is my sister and I on her wedding day, July 1st, 2006.
