Headed out to see some Roger's Cup action at Jarry Park. LL stole the show at centre court with his mean backhand.

While I was watching some of the women practice (Sharapova I think) there was a commotion as Ana Ivanovic was being taxied away.

Ann's parents were in town last weekend. Ann's cousin Barry and family were also here for dinner on the Friday. As Barry pulled up in his car, Ann ran out to meet them and took a tumble down the stairs wrecking her knee. She's ok but still hobbling a bit a week later. Here's LL and gong gong washing the car in the backyard. Unfortunately we had to bail out on the third set of visitors on the weekend since Ann was laid out.

Testing out the burst mode on the ol' camera. This is LL's favorite part of each lesson...he usually sneaks in a jump or two extra.

This encore courses through their veins. LL knows this piece as "Baby Einstein".

Lighting McQueen



This video is a month or two old now but since I'm in the groove of posting videos I thought I'd post it anyways.

The local pool



LL has started his first swimming lessons and it won't take him long (I give him til the end of the week) before he's surpassed the ol' man in swimming skills.

He's been a little resistant to go to lessons but I've been going with him in the evenings so that we can practice. There's LL and another boy who haven't been swimming before, plus three other kids who are very much at ease in the water.

Best purchase of the month- a roll of drawing paper from IKEA. LL has been focusing on his artwork everyday- can easily sit there for an hour drawing!

Took a break from unpacking to head to Ottawa for business and pleasure. Stopped by the Children's museum where they had a Bob the Builder exhibit. LL was too scared to have his photo taken with 'real' Bob.
