Matthew is 4!

My tiny one is getting big.  We took the boys to the Duncan Pool at Matthew's request for his birthday.

After a couple of hours swimming, Matthew passed out in Clive's bed.  We had to wake him up for his birthday dinner.

He was pretty bright eyed by the time the cake came out.

Then the presents.  Things just got crazy then.

It was a great family day.  We'll celebrate again on Wednesday when Kacey and Wyland are here.  Matthew is now in preschool two mornings a week and loving it.

routine

We are doing our best to settle in to the fall routine.  Matthew is going to preschool two days a week and feeling very big.

David thrilled to be playing soccer again.  He made several goals Saturday.

Taking pictures of soccer is almost impossible.  It's much more fun to put the camera away and watch the action.

Monday morning bus stop.  Bruneau has now joined the ranks.  Their mum was off to work in Comox so they had an early start here.  David is up to his usual tricks, Clive has his nose in a book, and Matthew making a "curly".

Ma n Pa visit

It's that time of year where we have to get cleaned up and go to SCHOOL.  Daddy getting in on the action.

Daddy riding his bike to work.  It's been a painful week for him, he's not as young as he used to be...

Ma n Pa are out for a visit and to celebrate Kelly's 21st.  She came up for an outdoor dinner.

It's hard to see in these pictures, but Matthew and David were being ROTTEN.  Clive was very good and entertained with his violin.

21

Here she is.  Kelly turned 21 on the first.  Bev and I took her for lunch to Pagliati's.

Her mum gave her this beautiful dress.  I would have loved it at 21 too.  I love visiting Kelly for so many reasons.

Happy Birthday Sweet!
