Today our little friends Emily (9 years old) and Danella (20 months old) went back to Vancouver with their parents. During their visit my parents' home saw non-stop action and rowdy fun. Magnus loved following Emily around, and jumped at any chance to chase her - indoors, on the lawn, in the backyard, or at the mall. Danella was initially terrified of Magnus, and would cry everytime she saw him. However, by the end of the visit she was much more comfortable. It helped that Magnus slowly started to share his toys more, although I still had to curb his complaints ("NO Danella! It MINE!") several times a day. And last but not least, I got to spend some excellent quality time with Emily, whether it was zooming up and down a roller coaster at Wonderland, or just bumming around the basment playing cards.
On the second last day I made sure to take the camera out and snap a few shots of our house guests:
Saying goodbye was hard, especially for Magnus. After they left at 7pm today he put us through tantrum after tantrum right up until bedtime. The weather, coincidentally, was stormy, and calmed down just as Magnus dropped off to sleep. Secret mutant powers or just pathetic fallacy? You be the judge. Goodnight all!

The sisters, pretty in blue:
Magnus taking a breaking from his running; Danella admires the concrete?
A typical chase :
Camera woman and her mini-me (who was giggling every time I pulled that string)
