Sleeping Sound

After getting home from the hockey game, kids took forever to get to sleep. Went in to check on the kids and Isaac looked kind of funny all sprawlled in his bed.

Eva took a while to fall asleep. She was playing with all her dolls and talking to them. Went in to check on them and she had them all lined up against the wall... too funny

Sound Asleep

Isaac & Eva On The Treadmill

Shiner Update

Eva's black eye is geting worse... no calls yet from the CAS

April 12... Are You Kidding Me??

My Black Eyed Pea

Eva partially fell down the stairs last night and hit her face on the way down. She cried and cried... picture doesn't give it justice but she has quite the shiner. Took her to the bulls game and I'm expecting calls tomorrow from the Childrens Aid...

As you can see by the next picture, it hasn't slowed her down at all. Smiles and all, Going down the stairs again.

Karen The Cow

Went to the Bulls game tonight and there was a lull near the beginning of the game and I hear this loud bellowing voice: "LET'S GO GENNIES" and then the entire section Moo'd. I knew it could only be one person, Karen the Cow. Superfan of the oshawa generals and former neighbor to my sister. I'm not being disrespectful with her name, that's what she's called.

Increasing Numbers....

Had some of our friends over tonight, Chad & Catherine and their two boyz and Dav & Delaney (and their parents too)

This picture was taken 3 1/2 years ago (Josh, Delaney, & Isaac) As you can see the numbers have been increasing. I think we've capped the numbers for now... Doesn't seem that long ago we too the bottom picture... sure have changed a lot

Toronto hits the golf links

Thanks to former bull, Richard Park, Leafs are not heading to the post season

Easter Outfits

My Beach Girl

Went shopping today and Tan bought Eva a new bathing suit for the summer... She is just too cute.

Fun With The Cousins

Easter Egg Hunt @ Mall

Kids went today to mall hunting for Easter Eggs. They found 3 on their own and then Katie & Jake re-hid 40 of theirs and kids searched for them. Had a great time.

It's A Family Affair

Happy Birthday Papa

The Tale of Two Cousins

Isaac wearing his new hat from papa. He's got his hat on with a bit of a tilt, just like papa's hats.

I'm sure after tomorrow night, Aodhan or Isaac won't be smiling as much

Supper Time Blues

We've been having some issues lately with the kids eating their meals. Something I've learned, never tell your parents how yours kids are misbehaving cause they'll pull evidence out of the woodwork from when you were a kid. My mother so kindly sent me a photo of when I was younger sitting at the table crying because I couldn't leave until i finished supper. Man. Must have been Monday-Liver Night. As you'll notice my sister carol is no where in this picture... she's downstairs watching TV of course

Bad Day

I spoke with Isaac on the phone this morning and this is our conversation....

"Daddy, Eva rolled down the stairs today. Eva is having a bad day"

You're not kidding

Funk Brothers

Tan and I went out for a concert tonight at the Empire Theatre. I had ordered the tickets a while ago and as it turned out, bulls were playing tonight too... I'd bought these tickets a while ago so we went not knowing what to expect. Funk Brothers were the studio session players for all the Motown Hits. When we got to the concert, we were smack dab in the front row and realized rather quickly that we were among the youngest there. Then as the concert was about to start, lead guitarist Eddie Wills came out on a motor scooter wheelchair... i thought to myself, what on earth have I done... the bull are playing tonight....

Anyway, concert turned out to be really good. I'm in a motown mood now

Was talking with Isaac today and trying to expain to him about Palm Sunday and the real meaning of easter. On Friday, the people killed jesus but on sunday, he was raised from the dad so that if we ask him into our heart, we can go to heaven and live with him... Isaac's response. "Nooooo.... I don't wanna go to heaven" so I said Why not, where do you want to go... Classic response: "To the Bulls Practice" (not even a game, but a practice) We have a ways to go obviously in teaching him about easter!
