Cousin Dupree

The kids had a good week getting back into the swing of things, Jack hanging with Jonah and Beatrice and Lily going to school. Jack gets extremely excited and is all smiles when he sees Beatrice and Jonah and barely gives Mom and Dad a goodbye glance - fortunately he also jumps up and down and starts spinning in circles when we come to pick him up at the end of the day. Lily had water play at school on Tuesday, and said her last goodbye to one of her classmates that is going to kindergarten in a few weeks. Lily is now officially the oldest in her class - and is likely the oldest at her school with her September birthday - but she interacts with all of the kids at her school.

On Thursday, we had a special visit by Toronto cousins Lisa, Kevin, Matthew, Adam and Samara, and Grandpa Maurice and Grandma Phyllis also came by for the visit. We had a good dinner and the kids had a good time playing in the backyard and the basement. On Friday, Grandma Gail came over and took Lily to the pool while Jack napped, and Grandpa Tom later joined us for dinner. The rest of the weekend was very low key. On Saturday morning, Lily, Jack and Mom went on a bike ride/stroller ride to the playground and creek - Jack could have thrown rocks into the creek all day. Later, the kids hung at home with Dad, and later we went out for pizza/pasta. On Sunday, we went to the pool for a few hours, ran errands, and Mom, Lily and Jack headed to the playground again for a bit.
