The Artist

Emma loves doing arty stuff.

Here she is decorating the hall wall.



Drawing on Daddy's birthday card.



An installation piece in the front hall. Yes, that is her sandal.

Thank you Uncle Joe

Joe gave us a gorgeous red glass bowl for Christmas a few years ago. We finally had a chance to display it. Leo has discovered that it is a wonderful place for a nap.

July 1st sparklers.



July started with Emma's first trip to the dentist.



She was so good she got TWO prizes!

The Big 3!

Happy Birthday Emma!

For Emma's birthday we went for dinner 'at the restaurant'. Her request. Emma is well known there, as Doug pointed out, they've known her since she was a bump. :)











At home she had time to play with her new train set.



And speak to Aunty Chantale.

Ottawa in June

We went for a short vacation in Ottawa to go to a family party.

We took the train,









Visited the locks, and the resident ground hogs.









and hung around Sparks Street.





Here are all the second generation cousins.

June

June is always a busy month for us. This year it seemed extra busy. It started with a visit from Grandma Pam and Grampa.

They brought gifts from family. Thank you Aunty Amy! The outfit is gorgeous.



Hanging out with Gramps and Dad.



While they were here we celebrated Daddy's 40th birthday.





Birthday kisses.



It took three tries but we finally got out for a sail.
