Memorial Day



Grandpa Ray, Grandma Sandy, Matt, Jennifer and Mikayla came for a visit on Memorial Day so the kids got to be their usual silly selves. They had fun playing in the garden and dancing indoors (see the videos). As you can tell Mikayla is way more extrovert than Oliver as she is the one who wants to dance with him and Oliver is more concerned about his bear blankie!!

Not too much else to report really. Emily is still growing like crazy and is almost ready to roll over although she likes to try this out in the bath so you have to watch her like a hawk!! I get the joy of taking Oliver to the doctor's tomorrow to get his hearing checked out. During the week Emily was born he had a hearing test done at school which he failed in one ear. He was having an awful week anyway so we put it down to that but some other things have come up since so we are getting it checked out. Anyhow, I shall go armed with treats (bribes) and hope that he doesn't have too bad a meltdown!

This weekend sees the last of Oliver's Saturday morning swim lessons. He will then move up a class and go on Tuesday evenings. We'll see how this works out!

And birthday wishes are going out this week to Grandpa Ray, Zachary (big 1st birthday!) and Nanna Pan (even bigger 60th birthday!!!). Have wonderful birthdays everyone :)

Aunty Steph bought this top for Emily and she looks so cute in it - red suits her :)

Scoop enjoying her new cushion. Daddy and Oliver took a trip to the pet shop over the weekend and Oliver chose this one after trying several cushions out!

Emily is staring at the array of toys we have in the bath!

On her 11 week birthday!

We found Oliver's old play nest in the basement and put it up for Emily. She seems to enjoy much more than Oliver ever did!

Although he seems much more interested in it now he's nearly 3!

Yep, Emily gets pushed out and Oliver jumps in :) And one day I'll get a picture when Oliver isn't sucking his thumb!
