Tut-tut, it looks like dinosaurs! Des modeling his new rain coat and galoshes
Look, Lightning McQueen!
Nap time with mom, froggy and monkey
Lunch with friends and corgis
Saturday afternoon shenanigans with family
Thai food, even with the kiddos
Mom and adoring son
Oh my oh my oh dinosaurs!
“Look, Lightning McQueen!”
Building block collaboration
A picture of looking at pictures
Pretty much sums up their relationship: Des pointing, Sydney squawking
A fine portrait, thumbs up indeed.
Cousin hugs!
After a long day, time for bedtime stories
Fish fry
Buggy rides at daycare are tiring when you wake up at 4:30am
Pre-season sandbox visit, dreaming of summertime
Sixty degrees on a Friday in February? That can only mean fish fry time at Holy Name, with our friends Eric, Gini, and Ethan.
Ethan found a pine cone and gifted it to Des
Just goofing around
This was Des’ second year at the fish fry, but the first for eating. Basically a plate of fried stuff, so it’s a once-a-season visit.
He also took quickly to dunking french fries in cocktail sauce.

Enough snow has melted for roaming from the car to the front door

Des and dad meet up in the morning with some friends at the Durham Western Heritage Museum. Valentines for kids, coffee for the parents. We explored the trains to run off some energy
Des isn’t so sure of stepping out on the grate off the caboose
Valentine’s day shades
“Not sure what I can do from atop this ladder, but it’s sure to help, right dad?” Or, “see a ladder, climb a ladder…”

Valentines Day party is another opportunity to hang out with Des in the afternoon, enjoy snacks and paint using our feet. “Son, you know that part of you that doesn’t like sticky stuff on your fingers and likes to put toys away? That comes from me. And here I am painting your feet.”
(Mostly) all cleaned up
Des got to take a party balloon home, so it of course was in hand for the better part of the evening
Drumming excitement!
Bubbles: taste good or no?

A friend who previously ran a vegan restaurant has started a new soup and pie subscription service. Each Wednesday in January and February, we pick up soup and make sandwiches. While opting out of the weekly pies, this week’s berry pie was just too tempting.
Des tasting his first pie.
Ok, so one of the raspberries was a bit tart (this of course coming from the kid who eats lemons)
Overall, an enthusiastic review
