Winston's 5th Birthday

After Wonderland, he headed over to my parents' place to celebrate Winston's 5th birthday. I can't believe he's 5 already! Time really flies!

Wonderland with Liam

It's October 30 and I think it's time I update the blog. It's been a couple of months since I've last posted but I've been swamped with work, and life in general. On the bright side, there's just three more months to go and I'll be mark-free! Let's start with September, shall we? I've backdated all the events since I had them in rough draft for awhile now and it'll "seem" like it's current... hehe. Enjoy the catch-up! :)

Liam, Lisa and Jeremy joined us for a trip to Wonderland. If you recall, Liam wasn't a fan last year of any of the rides. What a difference a year makes! This year, he wanted to go on every single ride and then some. The boys had a blast together both in the water and at the park. We'll have to make it an annual tradition to have them go there now! :)

Round Two, Here We Come!

Philip is going to be a big brother! As most of you know, I'm 16 weeks pregnant and my expected due date is February 8, 2010. We will be finding out if it's a boy or a girl within the next couple of months because I just can't wait that long... hehe. I also only complete one semester of the coming school year so it makes going back not so bad. A Valentine's baby for us next year, perhaps? :)

Sending off the Changs

Eileen and Jouky are going on a romantic European getaway for their 10th anniversary, so on Sunday we headed to my parents' place to see them off. Their kids will be here in Toronto with the in-laws during the vacation and I'm sure they will get spoiled rotten by everyone! But, hey, a weeklong trip without three young kids, no whining or crying, and no changing diapers? How will they survive??? haha. Happy 10th anniversary, guys, and enjoy the well-deserved trip! :)

Let's Go to the Ex Again!

Paul and I didn't think we'd bring Philip back to the Ex this year but since we've been doing all the Toronto attractions this summer, we figured we'd add the CNE to the list. We were going to the Great Big Sea concert at the Molson Amphitheatre anyway so it made sense to enjoy the free day too. Daniel and a very pregnant Ami joined us for the afternoon and also helped take care of Philip while we were at the concert (Thanks again, guys!). Philip was a bit under the weather but it didn't stop him from having fun playing a few of the tossing games. Add to that a Mardi Gras parade and a fantastic concert (the crowd was just amazing!) and it made for quite the exciting day. Maybe we'll make the CNE an annual visit after all... ? ;)

Chilling with the Changs

The Changs came to town since they have a wedding to attend on Saturday (Congrats Mags!). They dropped by our place on Friday evening for dinner and to borrow some formal suits for the boys. Thanks for the brief but fun visit... Nicole is such a cute chub-a-lub now!!! hehe. :)

Philip & Winston at the Zoo

We took Philip and Winston (no Brandon because three boys would have been too much for us to handle!) to the zoo to check out the new Tundra Trek exhibit which featured the polar bears! It turned out to be another hot but fantastic day because all the animals were still quite active even with the heat. Our favourite was of course the polar bears but a close second was watching the hippo eating all those weeds! It was fun seeing Winston enjoying all the animals too as he had never been to a zoo before. We spent the whole afternoon there and even had the boys go on a camel ride to end their fun-filled day. We had such a great time that we got a family pass to take the boys anytime we please for a whole year! Yay! :)
