Poo with a view

> An inopportune time for Henry to fill his drawers, but a beautiful venue for a free-range diaper change. Note Poppa providing shade, Granny doing the dirty work, and Evy scoping the hike down to Duck Pond Beach.

New best friend?

This is Tom the Turkey, aka Evy's new best friend. Mini horses, llamas, geese, chicken, horses, sheep, and turkeys - all down the road. Kid paradise!!

Beach Babe

There are many beautiful beaches within a few minutes' drive of Alice and Jim's cottage - all of them fabulous. We hit one of my favourites today.

Madame E was in heaven and sobbed when it was time to leave. No doubt we'll stop by again to enjoy a few more moments like these:

Postcards from the edge...

...of the bay of Fundy that is!

Having a wonderful trip so far and I'm so glad to be missing the heatwave in Ontario. Here are a few snaps of the fun thus far.

Buoys at the end of the driveway

The view from Al & Jim's neighbour's cottage

Little sweet puffy cheek - bashed her face on the coffee table today, poor mite

Evening primrose - grows wild in the ditch here

Stormy rides again!

A great day in New Brunswick. The weather couldn't be nicer, and, the highlight for Madame E was a visit to her BFF, Stormy the mini-horse.

A great day was had by all! Lot's more fun to come, starting with the community-wide yardsale tomorrow. Woot woot!!

For Daddy

Today, Rob turns 36.

Happy Birthday!!

No doubt he is struggling with the knowledge that he's on the fast slope to 40, but he's also without the shining lights of his life - the kidlets and his amazing wife.

Here's a little photo to brighten your day, Rob. We're missing you and I hope you're not having too much fun in the quiet peaceful house. And with the bathroom renovation that you're doing while we're away! (See, doesn't he know how to partayyy?!)

Ev and Henry wishing Daddy a happy b-day

May the year ahead bring all that you wish for - hopefully including more undisturbed sleep! Sending lots of love from New Brunswick! oxoxo

A belated post...

.. to celebrate July 1st!

It was many things - Canada Day, of course. But also:

The 3-month 'birthday' of the little (not-so-little) man




And the 3rd birthday of this beautiful, amazing, hilarious (and YES, finally toilet trained - if you count occasionally crapping outside like a dog 'trained') wonderful girl


More updates to come as I sort through the bajillion pictures on my camera... stay tuned!
