First off, we'd like to welcome Chris and Miia back to Canada! They arrived in Toronto today after a month of traveling Europe, and spending five months in Africa before that. They'll be joining us for the long weekend up at the lake - I can't wait for them to meet Lily! They left when I was eight months pregnant, so this will be an awesome meeting!

We had a great Mother's Day this past Sunday. Connie and her family came over for a BBQ and a scrumptious dessert :-) Mike is wishing his Mom a long distance Happy Mom's Day. I swear that the photo of Callie and Scout is NOT staged. Scout (a.k.a Fat Cat) is not normally an affectionate guy towards Callie as she tends to drive him over the edge, but I guess we all have soft spots.

The photo of Whalen outside is when we did our tour of the yard and I was introducing him to our flora. Both the purple and white lilacs are in our front yard.

Lily has officially discovered the Tupperware cupboard! She LOVES to empty the cupboard and play with her treasures. Callie and Scout took a tour to assess the damage :-)

Hope you all have a safe and fun Long Holiday Weekend!
