Julia and Emily's World

Today we went back to Wonderland for day 2 of our BMO pass. We did our best to avoid the rain but it still poured on us. Overall the day was mostly sunny and hot so it still turned out to be a good day. The girls and Jacob enjoyed having their faces painted. Note to self: No more self spinning rides with Selena unless you want to puke!

Julia surprised us by asking for her hair to be cut short. She wanted it at her shoulders.

Well Julia got her wish! It's confirmed. Julia will be big sister to a little sister! She is very excited and relieved that it's not a little brother.

Saturday was our first annual friends picnic (it kinda needs a catchy name). The poor weather forecast moved the venue from Centre Island to High Park. We hoped it wouldn't rain but unfortunately the weather man was right this time. Cool and wet! It is always fun to see everyone but this type of weather is not ideal for a picnic. Hopefully next year Mother Nature will co-operate.

Today was Preschool Celebration (i.e. Graduation) at Julia's class today. There was song singing, a photo slide show and of course cake! Mommy made it just in time with Julia's dress to get her ready.

What a great Father's day! Slept in. Watched golf (Go Tiger!). Ate steak. (Thanks Mommy and Grandma for making it happen!) Julia had fun in her pool today. Neighbour Nicky came over to cool down as well.

On Friday night Julia and Mommy slept over at Grandma's house (sleep over party!). I had the guys over for some poker and Rock Band. Saturday was Selena's party. The kids loved Uncle Bob's jumping castle. "Jeff the Magician" was rock solid (although we saw all his tricks before at Andrew's birthday party). There were lots of kids and LOTS of screaming and one unwanted guest as pictured below.

On June 8th we went to Leamington. The funeral home had a tree planting ceremony to honour all those that past away in the last year. It was at a conservation area. Afterwards we went to the beach. Julia was really looking forward to it. Once we got there she wanted to leave right away. She thought it was too dirty. After the beach we went to Jen and Gerry's house for dinner and a swim in their pool.

Julia is very excited to learn that she will be a big sister! Here she proudly displays her drawing of Mommy with baby inside.

Today was Julia's last dance class. Parents and Grandparents were invited to see them in action. Grandma came to see Julia too. All the kids did great. Check out the photos. Julia seems to have a goofy face in most of them.
