Great news! Liz announced this week that she is expecting her fifth child this November! This will be the 8th grandchild for my parent. I'm hoping to be able to keep up the pregnant shots for next eight months! Congrats to Liz and family!

Elizabeth Valyi at 2 months pregnant with either Peter or Sarah :-)


Connie and almost four month old Cora.

The kids enjoying themselves at the park; Johnny, and David to the left of the stroller, Lily and Cora in the stroller, and Katie and Whalen to the right.

It was a beautiful day on Friday! Enough so that Lily and I met Connie at the drop in centre at 11 a.m. and walked from noon to five when we met up with Liz's kids for some fun time at the park!

David fell and hurt his hand ~ his big brother Johnny is fixing it for him.


David from Lily's perspective ~ the three year old is huge!

After Johnny lovingly applied David's bandage, David takes it off so that he and Whalen can examine its contents!

Katie claims that soon to be 8 month old Lily is too heavy for her to carry!

Here 9 year old Johnny is pointing out to Connie that he is 5 feet and 3/4 inches tall. Yikes!

Johnny is a great kid! Here he is just enjoying the sun!



Spittachine crew! Cora (almost four months), Whalen at 2 1/2 years and Connie. If you ask her how old she is, she'll think for a moment, then say '26?' She will in fact be 28 this October :-)


Katie at 7 1/2 years old is loving having girl cousins to hang out. She is hoping her Mom has a little girl!
En route to his shift, Great-Uncle Scott stopped in to hang out with Lily.



Karen and Greg are the perfect hosts! Thank you again for having us for the healthy lunch and the divine dinner on Sunday!

Anna thought that chocolate and marshmallows were a perfect pair!

Greg, Pamela and Wendy enjoying the chocolate fountain!

When Karen puts on a spread, she goes all out! We LOVED (Pamela especially!) the chocolate fountain!

Anna is enjoying her mid-day snack!
Wendy, James and 2 1/2 year old Anna. Anna is a great little girl who is so much fun to be around! Her parents are coo too! :-) For those who thinks Wendy looks familiar, she is the friend that married Mike and I.


Lily is loving her new toy! It's a box where one puts the shape into the box lid. She enjoys chewing on the shapes. Thus far, she gets pretty close to putting the circle in the correct slot!
