Catching up

Well, once again, I have let the blogging fall to the wayside, and am here again to catch up over the last few months. And then I am going to have a cup of coffee. Because it's summer now (no school!) I don't have to worry about coffee keeping me up all night. I can just sleep in. Must enjoy it while I can. Now can someone please do something about my summer allergies??

Finnegan! One and a half years old. Pretty cute. Pretty funny. Pretty hyper.

In a rare quiet moment, he is asking me to stop knitting Aidez and take him for a walk. But this pattern is so addicting and so much fun. Sorry dude.

 Daisy right after her haircut. Poor thing threw her back out and was in pain for weeks. After she recovered she got a much needed cut for summer. 11 years old and still looks great. But getting pretty grumpy in her old age.

Still a dinosaur lover. Man, I know so much more about dinosaurs than I ever imagined. I've learned that they are VERY cool.

Look what A made!! Lego T-Rex! She's been getting into legos lately and we are thrilled! She's expanding her interests a little more (even though the things she builds inevitably comes back to dinosaurs in some shape or form). How awesome is this! She's amazing at following the directions and has a lot of patience.

Look! A house for palaeontologists!

Ahhhhh, summer.

Homemade chocolate fudge cake for Father's Day. This did not last long in our house. A did the raspberries!

Me and A met the some of the Flames at the children's hospital when she was getting some testing done. Left to right: Jarome Iginla, Lee Stempniak, Scott Hannan, and Derek Smith. They were so nice and friendly, and great with A. Bright spot of our day.

Yearly visit to the dentist. She looked like this the entire hour we were there. She's is definitely her mother's daughter.

Teacher's gifts! This is the Springtime Bandit knit with Malabrigo Silky Merino. Such a great pattern, and beautiful yarn. It turned out beautiful. This was for Mrs. Bazinet, her grade one teacher who also retired this year. What a loss for children everywhere! She was amazing.

An entrelac scarf for Mrs. Thurston, A's science teacher. Thankfully, we will see her again next year for grade 2!

Bean making her own pizza. Not surprisingly, she was so organized about the whole thing. And she loved it. One of her favourite dinners.

A little photo heavy, but we're all caught up. Off for my coffee now.
