Cool Dude

Logan and Owen both love to pump the music and practice their dance moves. The living room is the perfect dance floor and tumble area to test out any new routines they come up with. They definitely have a better sense of rhythym then their father.

Easter 2010

The shopping cart came in handy to carry all the eggs discovered in Brentville. The easter bunny sure knows how to put on a good party!

Logan was an expert egg finder this year. He was so excited that he wanted didn't mind eating the wrapper and all to get the chocolate hidden inside. I don't think I had ever seen the little guy move so quickly. Food is a powerful motivator for Logan!!

The Fishes

We have 2 water babies that love to hit the pool. Logan is getting very confident in his abilities and always tries to keep up with big brother which can be quite frightening at times. He can jump and dive into the pool, and make it to the surface, but can't quite keep going yet. Splashing himself and others provides hours of non stop entertainment.

Owen is becoming quite an accomplished swimmer now. He has graduated from the belly flop water entry to the cannon ball, side, and back dives. Owen has been working on his front crawl stroke, back float, and deep diving. Swimming is a wonderful family time that we enjoy all year round.

A Real Canadian Winter


It has been so long since I have written in this blog that winter has come and gone and almost come again (at least in Canada, not the Philippines). Last Christmas we decided it was about time to introduce the boys to snow....for the first time!! Mindy and I were worried that they would freeze their buns off since for most of their lives the coldest it gets is 25C. We had no need to worry as the boys jumped right in (literally) and didn't want to go back inside. So we tried to do it all in the few weeks we were back in Canada. Ice skating, snow men, snow angels, snowball fights, forts, licking icicles, hot chocolate, tobogganing, and Christmas with family!

Owen hard at work. He outlasted everyone, even on the coldest days.

We made it to downtown Barrie to see the passing of the torch for the 2010 Winter Olympics held in Vancouver.

What's a winter without the annual run and jump in the snow wearing only your swimsuit!

Owen's Christmas Concert

The pre-kindergarden class put on an instant classic Christmas production. Owen was brilliant as a wise man, and the critics adored him. Notice the orange and purple outfit, just happens to be Owen's favourites. Some things never change.

No, no, this is a specially formulated baby drink containing the precise balance of vitamins and minerals essential to ensuring optimal growth and intellectual development in children. Bad parents huh, just look at that smile!
