Happy at home

Despite the fact that Sophie & I are only home for 3 weeks, it is the season 

for this (go Habs!)

Seems that there is too much of this during playtime these days

We always have time for some of this!

Just another day at work

In a bid for me to get a little more accomplished, we packed Sophie off to work with her dad. She loved the time with him, the attention of his colleagues (who were so impressed with her French accent) and her visitor badge.

Gather round

Consider this your standing invitation to come and share a meal.

Isn't it marvellous

when glorious people

make glorious kiddies - full of imagination and fun and energy galore!

Zombie attack

If Seb saw one movie during the TIFF kids festival, he must have seen 6 or more! He also managed to squeeze in a visit to the digiplay space and the professional makeup booth for a scary transformation. .

I think the drama classes are already paying off

Our French fashion plate

Slim pickings

My only finds at the village's semi-annual vide grenier. Nowhere near as fun as last year...

Our weekends

It was the girls' turn to focus on house and home this weekend

5 day sleepover!

Hot & sunny...so laundry, lounging with a cool drink & a magazine in the garden,
 lunch outdoors, visiting nearby playgrounds

painting, games of all sorts and companionship

Meanwhile Seb was readying for his first 5km

29 mins and change later!

Dad did a splendid 10 km too

Sunday dinner with the ever-lovely Kevin & Arthur who used my favourite flowers on their table
(amazing that the other 1/2 of the family saw the former just a week ago in London!).

Plus there was lots of gymnastics, 3 movies (TIFF Kids!), watching Carey Price's record win, first drama class, and a dash to the 'burbs to pick up our stored boxes.

Dorothy has a rival

Where will these take our gal?

Disparate weekends

Whilst the lads moved into the new-to-us house (!!!)

The gals were living it up in London (!!!!)

eating well

eating well some more

being amazed by educational exhibits

kicking up our heels

with fabulous friends 

conversing with wise and radical women

ditto

and wacky, did I fail to mention wacky?

Sophie's mane

Straight (or wavy) from the salon

Feigning to sleep

First meal "upstairs"

It's a bit bare - the walls and the plate - but oh so welcome!


After chatting with the lads, they took me on a phone tour of the house, where Seb discovered all sorts of old gems - and we haven't even opened any boxes yet.

Out & About with Master Sebastian

His dad took him rock-climbing

a good action shot!
