Run for fun

These two. 

I'm pretty sure they could have fun just about anywhere. 

This marathon running effort (they must have run back and forth down the sidewalk 55 times) started with a simple walk out to the car as we were leaving Port Hope one night a couple of weeks ago. 

So. much. fun. 

Oooh, chase me, Evy, chase me!

Nothing like a little pre-bed pyjama exercise!

Sam smiling + running multi-tasking

C'mon Evy, you'll catch him (someday!)

And, the finish line!

We've had a rough couple of weeks here, with a never-ending stomach bug for both kids last week (H barfed 6 days in a row.  So gross.).  This week's medical delight was the little man developing periorbital cellulitis at the site of a bug bite he got on the long weekend.  Basically, a very ouchy infection under the skin.  It was around his eye and we had to go to the doctor's 2x for them to monitor it because it can be quite bad for the wee babas.  Anyway, 4 doses of antibiotics a day for 10 days plus a topical cream should do the trick.  Poor little dude.  He is certainly keeping me on my toes.  Here's hoping that's all for ill-health for a couple of weeks (or the whole summer!?!).

Non-stop rain here today but so far the basement is dry (phew).  Makes for a grey day, but hey, it's a perfect opportunity to update the blog!

Happy June to all (and happy 14th-month b-day to Sir Hen!).  Have a great weekend!

Yet another post about these two chimps

There have been countless posts about Evy and Sam and their sweet sweet love for each other. But, here's your update that lets you know that their love is still strong and alive, and indeed growing. They are SO funny together. Looking at the pics, I still have trouble believing that they are the same age, nevermind the same species!

Here they are at Granny & Poppa's fancy new house:

Looking like proper chimpanzees

Sharing a meaningful look

A look of amusement and adoration (?)

More funny faces

And the whole crowd with Granny, featuring Henry's legs

I have to say, that Charley was in all the above pictures, but I cropped him out of a few because all he did the whole time was stare at the chestnut he was holding in every photo! That said, he does quite love Evy too, and seems to love Henry even more. He asked yesterday if Henry could live with them. I was all for that plan (due to a delirious lack of sleep) but Lee wasn't going for it. Darn.

I can't believe we're in late May! Summer is going to be over if I blink (because if I blink, I'll surely fall asleep and will wake up in the Fall when the leaves are falling from the trees!). Hope everyone had a great long weekend!
