Some pics

Well, we haven't posted pictures in a while and I probably will not post them in perfect chronological order as well. But here is a bit of what we have been up to lately. Stace and I have been walking a bit more lately. Which is really nice. Aside from the "keeping active" side, walking it is something we used to do in Pointe Claire a fair bit in the summer evenings.  Just take the kids and enjoy the evening air. It is summer-like weather here most of the year so why not take advantage of it. It also gives Stace and I a quiet, relaxing time to just "shoot the shit", so to speak. 

It's hot here in the summer so Breagha and Shamus will go in just their undies in the house. Breagha couldn't understand why if it was ok indoors ... why not outside as well. We were just taking a zoom around the block so we said why not.  We've also been catching up on some beach time.   Now that people are laid off there is lots of free time to go swimming and body boarding :P

Now some people may look at the photo above and think "We can categorize these people men and women..."  but I see them as being "employed or not employed".  You guess whose who.

No cheating.  Of course Breagha is in the "not employed" category.  FOR NOW!!!

Oh, the beach wears you out!

We have to stay ... Breagha may have a shot at going pro!

So this is how it usually ends.  Spend the day at the beach... everyone bring some food... grab a BBQ and cook some supper.... before heading home.

Bhavya's 4th Birthday

It was Shamus' friend from daycare's birthday on the weekend.  They had the party at a spot called Little Tigrrs.  It's a indoor play structure and cafe similar to Fundo Mundo's in Montreal where we had Shamus' 3rd birthday.  Bhavya is one of the "three amigos".  At daycare, Shamus, Joshua and Bhavya are pretty much inseparable.  So needless to say Shamus was pretty excited for Bhavya's party.

The Birthday boy!

The other two of the "three amigos".  Sadly the group will not last much longer.  Joshua and his family are moving back to Korea this week for a year.  And it look as though we will be leaving Brisbane.  We can't help but feel a little sad for Bhavya.  But the party was a good send off... I'm sure it will be the stuff of legends at the Fortitude Valley ABC Learning Center for years to come.

A little slide action.

All she needs is a soap box and a worthy cause.

This is the best picture we could get of Joshua, Bhavya and Shamus.  They would not stop long enough to take a picture.  Nobody wanted cake or anything.  The just wanted to run and play.  By the end of it they were soaked in sweat.  

Take care everyone.
