School is Cool

Only 2 more weeks of nursery school and then school will be out for summer - the year has flown by! A few weeks ago Anna took her first school photo. We couldn't have been happier with how the pictures turned out but it's also amazing to see how much Anna has grown!

Here is a picture of Anna taken the first week of school...

And here is Anna's school photo taken at the end of the year....wow! Our little girl is growing up fast!

Fireworks!

This past weekend was a 3 day holiday weekend for Victoria Day. It's to honor Queen Victoria - even Prince Charles and Camilla were here to celebrate! And while it would have been great to celebrate with the royal couple we chose to celebrate with friends at a block party where there was BBQ and fireworks!

Anna got her first sparkler - she kept pointing and asking for one when she saw the other kids with them but when she got one she wasn't too excited about it!

Anna liked the fireworks that lit up the sky...she just found them a bit loud!

The weather was amazing all weekend and the only meal we didn't BBQ was breakfast! Anna's favorite was the corn on the cob!

WWW (warm weather weekends)

Spring has finally sprung here in Toronto! We've been lucky to have sunny days and warm weather the past few weeks. The weather is so nice it makes it easy to forget how cold the winter is! We've been taking advantage of the weather by checking out more of our local parks and waterfront.

One weekend we went for a walk by the lake..

 where we found some friendly ducks to talk to.

Then we were off exploring the Toronto Botanical Garden.

 There were mazes to explore....

And mazes to run and race through!

Bridges to cross...

and paths to follow.

 And the grass was perfect for dancing and twirling on!

On Mother's Day we had a very special lunch where there was a dessert bar with more goodies than we could count.....cupcakes, cookies, a chocolate fountain. Of course Anna was very excited about the sweet treats but we told her she had to wait patiently. When she has to wait patiently she'll usually just just sit quietly with her arms crossed. On this day she added her "patient" face!

 And in other news......we are excited to welcome a new baby Dundas this fall! Baby #2 is due October 2 but will be arriving via scheduled c-section September 24th!
