Pre-Birthday Celebrations

Tonight we had Kirk and Joanne over for a pre-Wendy Birthday Celebration. Kirk and Joanne brought over Indian food for dinner. It was delicious. With it we had lots of red wine (for Steve, Kirk and Scott), pecan pie and birthday cake. Kirk has been over for most of the week working with Steve on finishing the basement. Things are going along well, time for carpet soon.

Scott helped them tonight when he got home from work and almost got himself electrocuted. Luckily for him (and Ethan, Olivia and I), Kirk and Steve were able to save him for certain harm!! Here are some pictures of Olivia and Ethan with their Nana and Grampy and one of Olivia in her high chair after her favourite meal - sweet potatoes and apples.

Ethan, Olivia and I had a playdate with our friends Suzanne, Madelyn and Claire at the indoor playground this morning. They had a new climber, which Ethan liked. Olivia discovered some new toys to stand/walk around and had fun playing with Claire.

Yesterday Wendy and Ethan had fun playing in the garden pulling out all the flowers which have died since the cold weather arrived. Ethan discovered that playing with worms was fun. He also showed off his biking skills to Steve and Wendy.

Olivia has been taking after her grampy and sleeping in late all week. Normally I have to wake her up around 9:00 a.m. each morning to take Ethan to school, so I never knew how late she would actually sleep uninterrupted until this week. Today she got up at 10:00 a.m. and that was only after I started drying my hair in the bathroom. As a result of her late morning risings we had to miss library group and mother goose this week. Once Steve and Wendy are gone next week, she's going to have to start getting up earlier again!!!
