Post #100 !!! - Guy Humour

Tonight, Julianne went out for Nikki's wedding rehearsal and dinner. I found a new way to entertain Russell.... of course it should be obvious... get a few guys drinking beer and belching, you have a pretty rewarding evening. I'n never forget sitting around the cottage, with Rick Raciopal describing the different kinds of bowel movements, and being in tears laughing the whole time. This is a promising sign of things to come.

Daddy's other new trick...

Daddy is also using Adobe Lightroom for his processing... it really kicks azz.

new toy for daddy...

Daddy got a new lens.... Tamron 28-75mm f2.8

That means a whole slew of new photos of Russell.

Mommies storm the island

The mommy group took to the sea to visit Centre Island today. Russell looks quite content to hang with his hommies.

bbq test

Looks like pulled pork will be on the menu after Sep 21st.

Like Father Like Son....

I wonder where he gets it from???

Back to the Berry patch.

Mommy and Russell have really taken to those Raspberries. Although, looking at the field, no one really else has.

Not the youngest anymore !!!

Russell moved up to 'older' status last week when Tatyanna was born on the 29th of July. You may remember Russell wishing her a good delivery on an earlier post.

Here is Tatyanna...


...and Russell clearly looks more mature now that he has a little cousin to look up to him.

Boozing it up

Somewhere in the middle of daddy's week off, we decided to do something we haven't done for a while.... visit a few wineries in Niagara.

We stopped and sampled at Jackson Triggs, Stratus and finally a fancy schmancy lunch at Hillenbrand.




After lunch, Mommy and Daddy took a lesson in blending wines. They were given a few bottles of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Savignon to try out different blends and finally bottle their favourite.




After all that tasting and blending, lucky there was a designated driver among us.

Henry's Party

Russell had a very busy day today. First he visited Nikki's wedding shower where he garnered some extra attention.



Then it was straight to uncle Henry's party.





Russell make sure to wake up to wish Sophie luck before she left to bring his newest cousin in the the world.

Bubmo a week later

Looking much better this week.

Russell and colleagues at his last post-natal class.

Louis' new place

Louis' passion for his car finally resulted in some recognition. He is the G20.net member of the month! While out taking photos for the website, we stumbled across, what might be Lou's next place. Has a great view and plenty of parking.

Day for dim sum

Bumbo day 1

okay.. maybe not quite ready for it.

Party for grandpa

Today was a semi 75th birthday party for Grandpa T. It also was a chance to visit my cousin Rob's new home in Richmond Hill, and finally meet his wife, Miki. I mean they've already had 3 kids together by now.

Back to the Bjorn

A week after the Baby Bjorn meltdown at the berry patch, Daddy decided to give it another shot..... and with great success!!!

Raspberry Picking

Today was the first time either Julianne or Russell picked Raspberries. We planned to put Russell in the Baby Bjorn to make negotiating the aisles of berries easier but he would have none of that. He cried for at least 5 minutes straight so we gave up on it, plopped him back in the bugaboo and went off roading. This was quite successful and daddy felt much better about his Mastercard bill.

Mommy's fast asleep

Quick stop at the beach

Our first day back to just the three of us. Took an quiet stroll to the beach as usual. Mind you, actually walking on the sand was a rare occurrence.
