Lots of activity in the last little while. These pictures are from the grandparents birthday party that was held for Greg. Fishers had a BBQ and everyone brought salads, and of course, birthday cake and ice cream.


Aaron looking sweet as usual. Little Freckle Face I call him.

Greg blowing out the candles on his 3rd. birthday cake. Then he opened his gifts, and there was a Treasure Hunt for the last gift. We had done this at Aaron's party and so of course Greg wanted it also. He asked me the day of his party if I'd done up the clues for him, and I wanted it to be a surprise , so I sort of hummed and hawed about it. Then at the party he asked me again and I said wait and see, and he got very upset because he really wanted a Treasure Hunt. I told him that there had to be surprises for a birthday and that he would have a good time. That seemed to appease him, but when he found the first clue, he was really happy. We had 12 clues that had him going upstairs and down, until he found the final gift.

Then after all the excitement of the treasure hunt, there was entertainment. Aaron played a piece on the piano.

Then Greg and Mummy played some duets. Greg wanted to do every song from his piano book, luckily there were only 5 or 6, and they are short, but he and Mummy did a great job and everyone clapped heartily. Aaron didn't want to play a duet so that's why Mummy didn't play with him.

Greg loves to play piano and plays his little songs many times a day, hence I know them all by heart.

Brian's parents celebrated their 50th. wedding anniversary. The family had an open house for them at their church, which was well attended. Brian's brother and family came home from Ontario, so there was lots of family activities that week. On Canada Day they went to St. Martins, which is a lovely spot. Joce has lots of pics on FB.
The boys have started soccer, and they are enjoying it. They're both doing well and while they haven't scored any goals yet, they've eached contributed to some, so that's good for their esteem.
The pool is up and filled with water finally. Takes a while to do that. The water is still quite cold but the boys , once they get used to it, have a great time.
There have also been a few trips to Magic Mountain with friends. They got a bit of a burn yesterday, but they all had fun.
Till next time.....
