Bye bye, summer!

Well, with temperature dropping, it looks like our summer has come to an end. Sigh...
To celebrate (or should I say mourn?), we had a firepit at Grandma Laurie and Larry's on Sunday.
Crazy Keith went and shaved his head, and chubby Teague got bathed by Grandma. It was quite a day!
On Saturday, we went to visit a store that just opened. My lovely friend, Tammy-Ann is managing the store, and selling her beautiful slings there! I treated myself to a gorgeous necklace made with fair-trade gemstones. The store is called Birth Source (online store linked above); if you're in the area, stop by and support some local moms!
I've been slowly giving Quinn some of my old stuffed animals and dolls. His favorite is an old Brownie. How cute is he wearing her in the sling?!
And here are some pictures of our littlest cutie-pie.
We got our new counter-tops installed yesterday, but I'll resist the urge to post photos until the whole shebang is finished.
I have about a million pictures from our Guitar Hero party last night to go through, so I'll post about that later.
Happy Fall!

Big Baby!

Teague went for his 2 month check-up this morning, and tipped the scales at nearly 14 lbs! He's almost doubled his birth weight in 2 months! Yikes! That puts him at the 90th percentile for weight, 75th for height (measuring at 23 inches), and between 25-50th for head circumference. Wowzers!

Fort Edmonton Park fun!

We spent last Monday, Labour Day, at Fort Edmonton Park, with some friends. It was a beautiful day, and everyone enjoyed themselves!
The boys: (from left to right) Tom, Taro, and Quinn.
The boys went on this fun swing at the midway, that was powered by a guy turning a crank!
Here's the whole gang (minus Keith, the photographer):
From l to r: me (with Teague in the wrap), Taro, Audrey, baby Kiyoshi, Quinn, Dave, Mike, Tom, and Karen (who's 7 months preggo with twins!).

Baby Teague!!!

Guess who started smiling this week....

$15 Ikea tent vs. $600 dishwasher....

Why did we buy an indoor play tent from Ikea just last week, when a cardboard box is just as fun?
Oh, Quinny, you just wait until we get the big refrigerator box!

Brotherly love...

Parents are People

For Quinn's birthday, I bought him this book and cd. The c.d. has a song on it called 'Parents are People', and Quinn is completely obsessed with it. Seriously. He wants to hear it all the time. It's the first thing he wants in the morning. He wants to hear it at home, in the car, at the grocery store, at grandma's house...everywhere!
Watch a video for a slightly shortened version of the song here.
