Fall and Farewell

Our last two weeks in Canada went by extremely quickly.   Just before Kendrick arrived in Toronto we had a very nice time with Maggie's very cute neice and nephew.

Magnus and Marcus set about making tea and snacks for all the guests in the house.  They also had a little argument about a ball in the backyard.  Uncle Jeff, a reluctant referee, knocked on the door and asked for backup.  Backup was not necessary, however, as they quickly got distracted by other things.

Sofia and Maya sat around a lot.  They were very cute at it.  Sofia made me realize two things about my daughter: 1) Maya does not like to go to strangers at all 2) Maya has a deep voice!

The day Kendrick arrived I drove Magnus to go pick him up.  Magnus was really excited about seeing his Daddy - doubly so because we were also going to the airport.  Unfortunately, he fell asleep on the way there and slept all the way through the arrival and the drive back to my parents' house.  When he finally woke up, as we unloaded him from the car, he asked his Daddy sleepily where his car was (couldn't bring it on the plane, Magnus), and then he asked to be taken to the airport.  Poor thing!

A few days later we headed out to Niagara-On-The-Lake for a three family cottage outing.  The babies did not interact much, but the boys, all approaching three, tore up the house together.  Two new games were introduced/invented: a modified duck-duck-goose, and roly-poly.  But most of the time, they just wanted to run and yell.  (Guess how they modified duck-duck-goose)




Some flirting happened too:

After the kids all went to bed, the parents had a bit of fun playing Taboo.  It was nice to kick back for once!

We did a stopover in Burlington on the way back to Toronto and were treated to Elena's fabulous cabbage rolls and homemade apple pie.  Yum!!!  Thank you Elena!!!!
