Of Frogs 'n Snails & Puppy Dog Tails

There was an open house today at Preschool.

The children sang the Alphabet song, 5 Little Monkeys & Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

We had a lovely Potluck lunch.

Sadly, this was Kiora's last day here. Next week we're off to a new adventure with 24 new friends.

This afternoon, we went to a BBQ at Sami & Jake's. There we met 'New' Mike (Claire's beau), Kiora rode her first Scooter & unfortunately someone (miss D) broke a ceramic Snail in the yard. We did have fabulous Ribs, Chicken, Penne, Corn, Potatoes & Salad. Followed by freshly picked Strawberries, Ice Wine & a Mango Mousse cake.

Kiora's Prince Jake rescued her when she fell. Bishop Sami presided over their 'production' of Frogs 'n Snails & Puppy Dog Tails

Spice Girls Reunion 2008

Our Spice Girls Reunion this year started out at the Kerridale Arena's Play Centre.

For Father's Day the next day, we had Dim Sum with the dads in our family.
Then we spent some time watering plants at Grandma Grace's house.
Then we went shopping at the mall. Kiora got new socks, an outfit and swimming gear.

Then we went through the carwash while Kiora napped.
Off to the park with our sparkling car. That's where Kiora fell off the swings and did a face-plant. She cut a lip a little, got a few scratches on her nose, but all-in-all is in fine form.

... Kiora also did a hula dance today which we captured on camera. Enjoy

Friends and Family

Here we are at our first HSBC Child Run for childhood cancer.
There were so many things to see and do. First off, Kiora strolled around the grounds to see and ride an Ambulance. Then she went in the bouncy castle with Emma for a bounce or two. Then we actually did our walk.

On the return leg, Kiora hopped into a Fire Truck and steered it right. She wanted to press a few buttons too, but the kind Fireman stoppped her from activating the sirens (saved us from getting our ears blasted).
Afterwards Kiora got her face painted while Daddy went to get refreshments. He came back with a bagful of fruit, while Kiora got her crown & stars.


One of the few family pics we have. All in all a fun day for a good cause.
