Little Explorer

Now that Lachlan is totally on the go you can't stop him LOL!  He has just discovered everything in my cupboards in the kitchen and loves drumming on the bowls with the mixer thingys (what are they called again?  LOL).  Anywho, just caught him making a little music.  Enjoy.

Welcoming the newest family on the block

We didn't even notice this family move into our backyard since we have no trees, but they made themselves quite comfortable on our gas meter.  I sent Marc out on Sunday to read the meter and he told me we had a Robin's nest with 4 little eggs on the meter.  Then today I had to go and read the meter number to sign up for our online account and took a peek in and we had 1 little baby in the nest.  By this evening we had 3.  Welcome to the neighbourhood birdies!

Just like Papa (and I think Mommy too LOL!)

I think this picture is self explanitory.  Lachlan LOVES music (even Papa's music which is playing).  I was out at the farm visiting Mom and Dad for the evening since I had a midwife appt in Brandon in the afternoon and Mom and I were talking in the dining room when Dad said you better get in here quick.  So we go and see and he had put his headphones on Lachlan.  As soon as he did that he froze and was enjoying the music.  He even did a little head nodding to the beat.  What can I say?  He loves music.  I'm going to look in my stash of pictures, but I'm pretty sure that I have a picture of me in headphones similar to these ones listening to music too.

My little mechanic

Just sharing the pic of the day.  Preston playing in the garage with his Handy Manny truck "fixing" it up : )

Happy Birthday Preston!

So Preston's birthday was a pretty small one, but he loved it.  We had homemade pizza for supper and then Mom's version of "Dirt Cake" for dessert...chocolate cake, iced then added oreo crumbs on top with worms.

And what would a birthday be without a video cam visit with memere and pepere Talbot?  This is the new thing in our house since we got Marc's parents their laptop that has a webcam.  The boys love it!  I caught this photo of Marc and Lachlan before Preston sat with them unfortunately, but it was just too cute not to catch it.

Here come the race cars...

So I decided to switch out my lense on my camera and I have to say I totally forgot how much fun it was to take pics with it.  Preston loves to get outside as much as he can and usually after supper we go outside in our quiet little crescent and he races around in his "race car".  He really has caught on to pedalling his bike and just loves motoring along so I thought I should share a couple of photos.

One fine evening...

after supper Preston and Marc like to go outside in our quiet little crescent and bike, roller skate, whatever!  As long as they can go outside.  Well, Lachlan and I decided to join them tonight since it was so nice out.  He wasn't too sure about sitting on the grass, but he like to watch Preston cruising around on his bike and laugh.
