Word on the Street

Word on the street was that Damian was in town so we all headed to the Bloor Street Diner for a Sunday brunch buffet. Unfortunately I was too busy chasing Philip around to take pics there but after we headed out to the "Word on the Street" festival (and Philip was confined to his stroller) out came my trusty camera for lots of pics... hehe. It was fun hooking up with Damian and the neXus crew and refreshing to know that Damian hasn't changed one bit... hehe. Thanks for visiting us all the way from Japan, Damian, and we look forward to you moving back here permanently next year! :)

The Toronto Zoo - Take II

We took Philip to the Toronto Zoo for a second time on free Teacher's Day. Surprisingly, it wasn't packed at all and it turned out to be a fantastic day because the cooler weather allowed all the animals to get up close and personal with us! From the hippo, elephant, and grizzly bear searching for food to the baboons, gorillas and orangutans fooling around, it was an all-around fun trip for everyone. The coolest part for me (aside from the primates of course) was Philip showing his Leap toy to all the animals, and the nursing baby baboon being absolutely fascinated by it! You never know what you're going to see on any given day at the zoo, but this trip was a definite success!!

Daddy's 32nd Birthday

We had a little get-together with Paul's parents for his early birthday celebration on Saturday (his actual birthday is September 24th). I made him some lovely ham for dinner (he loves his pork!) and topped it off with a surprising choice from the man with a sweet tooth, a tiramisu birthday cake! Happy 32nd birthday to the best daddy and hubby in the whole wide world!!! :)

Uncle Paul's 33rd Birthday

We invited Uncle Paul over for dinner last night to celebrate his birthday with us! We made him some juicy steak and wings for dinner and topped it off with a yummy strawberry cheesecake! Happy 33rd birthday, Uncle Paul, with lots of love from Philip and his parents! :)

Breakfast at Liam's

The Hohertz family invited us over for yummy eggs benedict on Sunday, a couple weeks into the school year no less! It was great to see the boys playing together so well (as always!) and we even got to enjoy a bit of the Ukrainian festival on Bloor Street after the sun came out. Philip had so much fun hanging out with Liam and can say his name quite clearly now, which is cool because it's Philip's middle name too. hehe. Thanks for the invite, guys, and we look forward to seeing you again real soon! Hopefully our schoolwork doesn't become too crazy, Lisa! *fingers crossed* :)
