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.

Sharp Dressed Man

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.

Grandpa Ken's visit

Grandpa came to visit this week. He seemed very happy to have a willing subject to model for his photographic endevours. It was a busy week of fine dining and photography.

Just on cute picture

Typical morning

Hello Goodbye

Auntie Kim and Uncle Grantley finally had a chance to visit... sadly it was just in time to say good bye. Well at least Russell will have a place to crash during Octoberfest!

Russell's Baptism

Okay, enough stalling. Hopefully there will be some cleverly edited video someday but I have to get past this posting to continue on.

On a very hot and sticky day, Russell and entourage arrived at Corpus Christie church. Russell was not entirely taken by the whole event as he cried pretty much from the outset. Thankfully his new godparents, Melanie and Mike took it in stride. We thank you both for accepting the role of Russell's godparents and I am confident that your combined experiences and wisdom will be invaluable in Russell's upbringing. Thank you both.

Catching up...

been bad... should really spend more time away from Russell so I can update this thing. Anyways, a few quickie pictures. The baptism photos and video are just too daunting to heres a couple taken before the big day.

R&R's Oven ready ribs...

Okay, the other day Louis calls me up saying he bought some ribs and wanted to know how I cook mine. A few days later, he tells me that they didn't turn out so well. I know this has got to be one the easiest things to cook so I'm documenting it here so next time he has a guide. I'm hoping my backyard will be done shortly so I can get a proper grill. This might be one of the last times I do this with the oven.


Step 1 - Peel the skin



Step 2 - Seasoning



Step 3 - Toss in the oven (3-4 hrs @ 275f)



Step 4 - Checking in after 3 hrs



Step 5 Saucing them up. (also trying a new video hosting service, should be better quality)
