Ouch

Liam had his four year old vaccinations tonight. He was very brave and didn't cry when he received the three shots. A quote from my brave man, "I don't like needles and I don't want anymore while I'm a kid."

Stats: 42.9 lbs, 42 3/4 inches tall

He was a good fish

Emily's fish Jeffrey died yesterday. She was quite heartbroken so we had a little burial for him and then bought a new "Jeff Jeff."

Hopefully this ones lives for awhile or until "she's 11." (A quote from Emily).

Summer 2010 Vacation

We just returned home from our summer vacation to Penticton, BC. We enjoyed our holiday so much last year that we went back to the same condo complex (different unit though). We had a great time again. Top ten highlights include:

1. Sea-dooing
2. Parasailing!
3. Wineries of course (I think we went to about 10 or so).
4. Four person biking
5. A few runs on the Kettle Valley trail
6. Dinner out with my husband
7. Great kids, especially travelling
8. The beach and pool
9. Picking fresh peaches and plums from the orchards
10. The heat!

Warning: lots of pictures below....

Big Boy

Since Emily has been riding her bike, Liam has asked to remove his training wheels. Even though he's four and almost three years younger than Emily, he believes he can do anything she can do.

Here he goes down a hill.
