Tom's Birthday

Tom turned two this weekend (not sure where that time went). He had a tractor themed party and we had a great time. Amelia and Tom play so nicely together (for now) and had fun inside and out.

Gardening

This weekend we've been digging beds and planting in our front yard. Amelia "helped" and we're pretty pleased with the result.

Suzie & Tom Visit

Suzie, Tom & Diane (Tom's other Grandma) came for a couple of days to help Lindsay (Tom's Aunt) move into Mum's basement for a few weeks. Tom and Amelia had a great time chasing around Mum's house and investigating the toilet. Subsequent introduction of the potty was rapidly dismissed by Amelia. Their trip ended with a customary visit to the Cheesecake factory.

Baking Cookies

It's funny how we tend to get some of the best movies of Amelia when she's up past her bedtime (and in her penguin pajamas).

After taking even longer than usual to (not) go to sleep we caved and let her come downstairs for a while. She decided to bake us cookies . . . .

Pella

Grandma, Amelia and Kate visited the Pella Tulip Time festival. We had a nice time and loved the parade but I think next time we'll go the week before or after and avoid the crowd. Amelia was ready to go early and had a great time pushing her stroller everywhere.
