Met up with James and Sherri for lunch at Yellow Dog Tavern in The Exchange.

(I got the Thai Peanut Wrap with their House Salad. SO GOOD.)

Sharing the excitement of baby kicks tonight with my (almost 3-year-old!) Milan right before she fell asleep.

First day of prep. work for the deck!

1. Finally cutting down our backyard jungle and throwing the weeds out.

2. A ladybug in the weeds. The insect that Milan loved at first but can't seem to get over the fact that they're scary bugs.

3. Milan taking out one of the many outdoor toys stored away in the garage.

4. Julien happily enjoying the "beep, beep" and "onk, onk" sounds Grandpa made as he moved the wheelbarrow.

5. Milan offering to help with her sand toys.

6. Milan's beloved thrift store find: a stroller for her babies.

Stopped by The Forks tonight with the kids where the Folklorama Kick-Off was taking place.

2. A visit with Luisa and family who are in town and with Mary Ann's new pixie baby on Monday. The picture is of Milan in the awesome-est kids playroom.
3. A Tuesday morning rest under the dining room table after breakfast (a good idea since a walk to Polo Park with Alexis and Anders soon followed in the afternoon).
4. A play date with friends at the Nature Playground in Assiniboine Park Wednesday afternoon.
