DD bustin' a move.

Christmas breakfast at LL's kindergarten

LL played three songs for his class a couple of weeks ago. One small slip up at the end but he kept going (Yay!)

Try this

Ok I'm going to try a different format- same video.

You make the call

I couldn't be on the ice today because Ann was working and I had to watch DD. However this gave me a chance to actually watch LL play hockey. Here is a clip from his 3 on 3. He's wearing # 12 in the purple and white Tim Horton's sweater. LL has the honour of being the first kid in his group to raise the puck. Unfortunately the dad in the bicycle helmet was up to the task and stopped the shot with his shin.

Spiderman and Superman interest appears to be waning, however stock in the Flash is at an all time high.

Gotta remind myself to take some video of DD crawling before those days are over...(soon)

Alley cats

Chill is in the air here in Montreal especially this past week- less and less kids playing in the back alley.

From failing hands...

Taking some time out from his superhero duties for training camp, LL assumes his daytime role as scoring machine.

And so begins a new chapter in our lives. LL started kindergarten a couple of weeks ago. Here is is on the morning of his first day (basically a whole hour at school).

Turns out LL wasn't really sleeping through the night all these years.

LL and I went to the market and when I turned around he was talking to some kid on a bike... Apparently they were trading war stories.

I think DD uttered his first words, "What the heck was that...?"

Mid-August update... the last few weeks have been crazy busy. I basically got slammed with work and babysitting duties. Thankfully Ann and the boys put up with my general grumpiness and last night I managed to get to bed before 3am for a change. In fact, I fell asleep before the boys did! Anyways I thought I'd take the time tonight to catch up with the blog before getting back to the grind again.

1!

Our lil' guy turned 1 on Sunday so we celebrated after dinner (Ann had to go out to the Eastern Townships during the day).

..and one with dad. LL and I made the cake as Ann designated me official cake maker for family events earlier this year.

HOUSE GUEST #4

HOUSE GUEST #4, originally uploaded by architect.

We also had other (unwanted) house guests in the roof above our balcony. We hired a guy to get rid of them so he set these traps and would then take them to the South Shore. Our first catch was a skunk. All in all we caught 2 skunks and 4 squirrels. We're crossing our fingers that that was the whole family and we can now seal up the hole through which they were entering.
