South Ottawa (update)
Grant sent me some photos of one of our projects that is nearing completion....
Yo! Over Here!
When I played basketball in highschool I had the pleasure of ridiculing my teammates (who shall remain *ahem-Richard* unamed) for shooting on our own basket in a game situation- not once, mind you, but TWICE. I'm now experiencing dejavu as I track my amazon package of books as they travel from Mississauga to Edmonton.

Busted
I've been outed. Ever since LL was born we've tried to give him an exemplary diet and lifestyle. So, I usually wait until LL's gone to bed before breaking out the junk food. Last week while Ann was at work and I was putting LL to sleep:
Me: Goodnight LL, have a good sleep, try and keep your diaper dry.
LL: OK.
(pause)
LL: Daddy?
Me: Yes?
LL: Where are you going?
Me: I'm going to my office to do some work.
LL: OK.
(pause)
Daddy?
Me: Yes?
LL: You're going to the office?
Me: Yes, I'll be right here in the next room.
LL: OK, but don't go (LL is now making krinkling noises followed by the munching sound of chips).

It has been a long time since posting and for some reason or other I barely took any photos during the past month. It always seems that the end of August (the beginning of birthday bonanza) through to Halloween (the end of the first birthday wave) passes quickly and in a blur.
Maybe I'll just spit it out: Happy birthdays (belated) to Maureen, Deanna, Cyndy, Jasmine, Anjue, Walter, myself, Leanne, Paula, Jessica, Jude, Stan, Jennifer and the 15 others I've missed. I won't even start on the anniversaries.
Congratulations to Walson and Rhonda on their new baby girl and to Tania and Tom for their baby boy.
Thanksgiving was marked by 4 dinners in a row (3 turkeys)- thanks again to Ali, S + S, Elizabeth (auntie Marsha) and Hypatia and Max. LL has recently started his music and , get this, yoga classes at garderie. He is, by the way, up and walking again. His question of the week appears to be "Qui a peté?"
On top of the trips to Ottawa, hospital visits, birthdays, funerals, anniversaries, turkeys, births, yoga lessons, apple picking, work, ball hockey and general hanging out with LL, there is now (inevitably) FACEBOOK. Now I know why blogging activity has generally stopped for everyone else- I have found you and your double lives.

Orchard
After the first round of picking Empire apples, I watched LL play in the area while Ann and Ali picked some Honey Crisps. My battery died so for more pics check out Ali's blog.
mississippi
This year my birthday was overshadowed by the tragic death of Ann's aunt in Mississippi. Ann went down with the rest of her family and most of her cousins to attend the funeral. I stayed back in Montreal with LL for 4 or 5 days.This picture (taken by J, I believe) was taken along the banks of the Mississippi. (L to R: cousins Tia, Karen, Janet, brother Holden and Ann). My heartfelt condolences to Jimmy, Judy and the Chow family.
Beaver Lake
Also taken about a month ago while it was still warm (enough) out- we headed up to Mount Royal and ended up stuck by the edge of the pond watching fish.
Return of the James
Toxic James came home about a month ago with a new paint job and brought a couple of his buddies from China (free gift). I wonder what happened to people who returned more than one train.... do they get multiple free gifts? Maybe cousin Jakie can shed some light on this.

toxic synovitis
LL woke up from his Sunday afternoon nap unable to walk. So Monday I took him to see his paediatrician who then suggested I take him to Children's Emerg to get X-rays. He figured LL had toxic synovitis (which is also what my dad and Jasmine figured). After several hours waiting at Emerg, Ann called and suggested we give it another day. Anyways, today is Wednesday and he is back at garderie (though with still a bit of a limp). Anyways, sure beats the 3 days of crawling and being carried around all over the place. (Lil' dude is getting heavy.)
aruuuuugula
This picture (under a mix of flourescent and incandescent lights) doesn't really do it justice, but all the same it was delicious!
spiral tunnel
Upon returning from Canmore a few weeks ago, LL drew this picture of Spiral Tunnel which he saw with Ann and my parents. Obviously it made quite an impression to see 200+ train cars sprialling through.

grandparents
Ann took LL out west for a couple of weeks in August while I stayed home to do some work. First week was in Medicine Hat and then a week in Canmore with my parents.... no photos from Canmore until my parents figure out how to burn them onto a CD.
