Things kids say

Five funny things Liam says:
Gotfor -- As in: Mommy, we gotfor the treats. Or: Daddy, you gotfor to close the door.
Yessiroutly -- In enthusiastic agreement of whatever we've asked him to do.
Open sesame -- A phrase picked up after countless viewings of the bunny movie. Also from this movie: "What a cow poop."
Highsidedown -- which, I think, is actually a very accurate description of being upsidedown.
Bs and Vs -- As in "work glubs," and the t.v. show "Yo Gavva Gavva." Thing is, he can articulate the sounds perfectly, just flips them in some cases. Not sure why he does this, but it's funny.


Five funny things Lily says:
Wheeeeeeeeeeeee
Wooooowwww
Here I am! -- actually, she doesn't really say the words, but has the tone and rhythm down pat.
What's that? -- see above comment
Tanks -- and "wok" for "you're welcome"
Honourable mention -- Uh oh. Always used in perfect context, too, like after she's pitched her cup of milk over the edge of the high chair.

Nana's swing

The Pooh swing is a much beloved toy at Nana's cottage. Here it is in use summer 2005.



And here it is still, summer 2008.

Pictures Liam took

Despite the fact that he got a beautiful camera for Christmas, he took these with mine. Vote for your favourite.

Random outside fun

Being parents to two kids versus one has taught us an important lesson. There is no time for anything. Not even for updating the blog. So here are a few photos of springtime fun for now. Because really, we'd rather be outside playing with the kids.

Liam's movie

"Daddy, I want to watch a movie."

"Sure, Liam, which movie?"

"The bunny movie."

Happy first birthday Lily

Lily turned one on April 21. Where did that year go?? On April 20, we had a big party with most of her favourite people (except for the ones who were out of town or working.. you know who you are!!). Lily had a great time. We all did.

Here is the obligatory "stuffing my face with cake" shot.

And here's the happy crew.
Thanks, everyone, for making Lily's special day so special!

Together at home and at play

Is it too much to hope that they will always get along this well?
