Still kicking

Yes, we are all alive and well.  It's been a good thing that we aren't updating... the weather has been so magnificent that we've not been inside much.  With both Simon and I working f/t, time is always tight.
In Apr we hired a nanny who is magnificent with the kids; a french kindergarten teacher.  Shes wonderful, and unfortunately going back to france in mid-June.  The search for her replacement is on, but she's got big shoes to fill.

Photo dump of the last month.

Super dinner with Colleen + Co.  Our kids adore each other, its so fun to have them over!

 Riles on the Ferry for an adventure day with Si and Rog.

 Just a tad excited

 Our little girl is no longer a baby.  And she's very busy, stomping and pointing and telling us what to do!

 Tickles!

 Thanks Si for making the sandpit!  Vani was thrilled.
And seriously, these photos could be of Matt.  Simon's side shines through strong with her. 
We miss you, Matt.  And Tye.  And nana.

Nice visit with Gogo!  Vani says Go!Go!, Tiger, Dada! (exclamation mark intended).  But no Mama. 

 In a stroke of genius, Si bought Riles a portable shop-vac.  I would say that our stairs have never been cleaner, but that wouldn't be true with TWO toddlers now.

 Nothing sexier than a man with a vacuum.

 Love her ponytales

 She put on Riley's shoes all by herself and was very chuffed.

 Si and Roger were at a car show, and Si took these artiste photos of "the Riley".  We have three generations of proud here folks.

More to come ... later.  Night.
