Jacob's 2nd Birthday

We hosted a very small gathering for Jacob's 2nd birthday. All who attended had fun as they joined Jacob for pizza, smiley fries, and cake. Here are some fun photos from the party...
Choo Choo Train!

Jake was spitting more than blowing



Mmmmmmmmm... Cake!

Long Weekend in Edmonton

This weekend saw our family (minus Ethan) visit Nadia's Dad and family in Edmonton.

Jacob and Katie were quite well behaved while we attended the 'Body Worlds' exhibit at the Edmonton Science Centre (imagine real human bodies that have been plasticized and posed to show all parts of the human anatomy... spectacular in every way!)

We also went to the World Water Park at WEM, where they have recently opened a new area exclusively for kids: 'Caribbean Cove'. Imagine a multi-level playground that has dozens of opportunities to get soaking wet. My favorite was the giant bucket at the top of the structure that filled-up with water every couple of minutes then tipped and poured on everyone underneath.

Jacob had an absolute blast turning on/off the valves that shot out streams of water from various holes.

We enjoyed seeing everyone and were fortunate to have decent weather while there -- a very good long weekend!
