Family Fotos

It was around Henry's birthday when I realized that we don't actually have any photos of our happy little family of 4. Hrm. Only 12 months passing without any familial record! Don't get me wrong, there are about 1.2 jillion pics of the kids, just none of all of us together. Which, isn't horrible considering the grey hair I've sprouted this year, but I would like the kids to have some proof that we all spent time in the same room, at least for their baby books.  Or for when they request family counseling in the future. 

Auntie Yumyum (aka Emily) to the rescue with her keen photography talents. She snapped these gems, and a whole bunch more. So, family portrait crisis averted. Now I just need to remember to actually get some printed!

Who is this grown-up girl?

The Fab Four

Rollin'

What says Springtime like a little hill rollin?  (Also captured here by Lee).  

Oh, to be young and bendy!  Evy thought this was the most fun ever, and Henry, Sam and Charley had to agree.  Pure entertainment for the adults too.  Can't wait to spend lots more time at the Peterborough Zoo this summer! 

Uncle Benny!

Little Uncle Benny is now the ripe old age of 35. OLD MAN! (I enjoy these few months where there is only 1 year between our ages.  He's just soooooo old!)

We had the pleasure of celebrating with them on Saturday and got to enjoy their beautiful backyard and the new climber! The kids had a blast and we can't wait to get back there once they've opened up the pool (ahem, hint hint). 

Henry is pretty sure he's ready for a trike

Not sure the swing is intended for this use ...

... but they sure did have a hoot!

Luckily the old man had some help blowing the candles out

What a lovely day!  And we can't wait to be back for more visits, especially after the new baby makes its appearance some time next month!  Woot woot!

Fruit Loops!

One of the treats at the cottage is those little boxes of 'sugar' cereal!  (That's what we always called it growing up - anything with more than 1/8 teaspoon of sugar in it was classified 'sugar cereal'.  We were such fools, we thought honey nut cheerios was a delightful treat!  Can you imagine if we'd gotten our hands on a box of Count Chocula?  I believe it turned the milk brown.  Gag!)

Miss E was quite glad to make the acquaintance of Corn Pops and Fruit Loops, which she calls rainbow cereal.  Not the most nutritious way to start the day, but made for some cute pictures. 

Yum in the tum!

Back away from my Fruit Loops!

(Ok, just realized looking at the box that they're called 'Froot Loops' but I can't bring myself to spell it like that!  Ewwww.  I guess that's to ensure no one believes there is actually any FRUIT in them.)

What a morning! Henry and Stanley!
