Team Mexico off of their Ritalin
LL missed his Saturday soccer because we were in Toronto, but we were back for Monday soccer. Unfortunately we missed notice on Saturday that Monday's match was cancelled due to another soccer tournament. LL and his teammate/friend from garderie ended up having a ball anyways, playing in the park.
Courtyard House
Went to Toronto on the weekend for Ann's cousin's wedding. Before leaving we took in an open house at the Courtyard house near Deann's house which was part of the Open Doors Toronto weekend. Here we are with Greg, T and R in the ground floor courtyard (unfortunately the upstairs was closed off to the public). Ann's parents and Holden and family were there too but I forgot to bring my camera. Thanks Greg/D for the pictures.

April update
March and April flew by. Ann's parents were here last week for a brief visit. LL has been riding his bike to garderie everyday with Ann and as of today has started his football (soccer) career. Nice weather is here and all the neighbourhood kids are out playing in the back alley again. Yay. Didi is doing great and sleeping really well at nights. He's also on the verge of being able to completely sit up by himself. It's the small victories that count.
soccer warm-up
LL and his friend Lily are signed up for soccer which started today. They started with some intro drills and then a short game which LL's team won 4-1. No goals for LL but he did make a pretty spectacular sliding defensive tackle to prevent a sure goal. I didn't manage to get that one on camera so the legend is already growing with every iteration of LL's account of events.
sandwich to end all sandwiches
Every once in a while the stars align and we have all the right ingredients lying around, everything is ripe at the same time and I don't screw up the egg. The result: THE sandwich. bacon, lettuce (ok I would have preferred arugula), tomatoes, Egg over easy, avocado and mayo on lightly toasted Oats and honey bread. yum.
april 25 parc JFK
the swings are finally up and it was 25 degrees today so I headed off to the park for a little bit this morning with the boys.
kanata concert
LL and Ana. Not that they're playing together, LL is just getting ready for his turn.
matty final game
Caught Matty's final championship game for the season. Unfortunately they lost 4-2 but it was a valiant effort. One disallowed goal and a few amazing saves by the other team's goalie otherwise it could have gone the other way. Photos top to bottom: Matty coming out for the pregame skate, a bit of a slide after clearing the zone, getting back for defense (we won't talk about Matty's stick that 'slipped' out of his hands in the general direction of the puck), being chased down by 4 of the other team's guys and finally (the highlight of the game) Matty coming in with some pressure on his heels and putting it where mamma hides the cookies. Good job Matty!

Still working on the scoreboard
Newest addition to the downstairs rink- just trying to get the boy interested in ...y'know......hockey.
Alberta bound!
Ann took the boys out West to Alberta for a couple of weeks (March 17- 30) while I stayed back home to get some work done. It was a great couple of weeks for all involved. I managed to get lots of work done and around the house... LL and Elliott really bonded during the two weeks and Ann got her dose of small town filled. Thanks Ann and thanks to the grandparents for the help!
