update

With the start of work again I've been a bit lacking in blogging time.  So I'll have to squeeze 2 weeks worth of stuff into this one!

Over Labour Day long weekend, my brother Scott and his daughter Anna came for a visit.  We had a bit of state fair time, a trip to the wading pool, the lake,some backyard sprinkler action, and a couple trips to the park.  The weather was great, and we had a fabulous weekend despite Owen battling his first daycare induced cold.

Anna was insistent that the dolphin was hers...little did she know it was attached to the pool...

sprinkler!!!

 The following weekend (just this past weekend) was the annual Geology Dept Fall picnic.  So we headed off to that and enjoyed good food, friends, and lots of sunshine!

Sunday afternoon we had a little play date with Sonia and MJ.  MJ was busy on the fisher price phone calling Tor to see if he could come too!

We also had a little evening walk in what looked like imminent rain, so the yellow slicker made an appearance

And last, but definitely not least, as I'm sure you will hear more about this any day now, Owen is desperately trying to crawl!  He is very good at getting up on hands and knees, and occasionally even takes a "knee step" or two before doing a big sprawling reach to get at whatever he has his sights on!

I guess I better get those baby gates up...
