Julia and Emily's World

After all that rain we got on Saturday, we were eager to get into the pool on Sunday. What a perfect day!

Emily loves her goggles!

On Sunday we had family over from my Mom's side to see our "new" house. We got lucky with the weather again. No rain! It wasn't particularly hot but it was warm enough to be comfortable in the pool. The kids certainly weren't complaining!

We had a great day with friends today. The weather was fantastic and the company was even better. Thanks everybody for making this an awesome day!

Julia has now graduated from SK! The school held the ceremony in their outdoor courtyard. We are very proud of how well Julia did in SK. She can actually read books now! Grandma also came to the graduation. Like usual, Emily did her best to be the centre of attention. I think she succeeded.

Emily is a rough kid. She likes to be noisy, active (risk taker), and bang stuff around. Anything that makes noise is good to her. Well she took her spoon to our kitchen! Below is a picture of our bench in our new kitchen. Yup, right through the paint! Days later I asked her, "Naughty, who did that?". She said with a straight face, "Mommy".

A few weeks ago we took Emily for her first haircut. I was kind of worried that she wouldn't sit there but she did. She wasn't happy about it (look at her face) but at least she let the hair dresser do her thing.

OK. This time for real...I'm going to start updating this thing again. Here's a quick recap of some of the highlight from the past 8 months that I didn't blog. Renovations - We moved out for two months and lived with Grandma while all the dirty renos were going on. We were back in the house on Boxing Day. The bulk of the renos were complete by the begining of January. We are very pleased with how everything turned out. I never want to go through that again! Julia's Birthday - We held it at a chocolate store in Bolton. It was cool. The kids got to make pizza and treats. Then her cousins Selena, Mya and Jenna came over for a sleep over. We went to Chucky Cheeses. The following week we had the relatives party. TV - Got a new TV for the basement. Nothing too fancy but nice. Vacation - In May we went to Florida for a week. We stayed in a condo (same complex we stayed in 2008). This time Grandma came with us. We had a great time. We spent most of the time in D...
