Mr Tude

Or should that be titled Mr Rebel?

In either case, he's the cutest one I've ever met.

Trains and Showers

This past weekend Andrew and I went to Kitchener for my niece Tara's baby shower, she will be having her second child Sophie on Sept 20th, making Austin a big brother.

First we took a train to Milton (about 1 hr away) and then my sister Tammy and my dad picked us up at the station and took us the other half of the way. Andrew was so excited to be able to go on a train. He couldn't wait.

Waiting ever so patiently for the train to arrive.



And yes he does have pink streaks in his hair. And yes, pink is his favorite color. And yes, it's not permanent.


Finally on the train, waiting for the departure.

3 generations. 3 girls. 3 lives. 1 family. LOVE forever.

Andrew's First Post

Today is a very special night because there's going to be a new Scooby doo episode (episode 5). I think my dad will be so happy for me because I'm happy. And usually when i'm happy he's happy.

THat's it.

Oh and i love my mom and my dad and my cats and my fishes.

That's it.

Signed Andrew.

15 Years

Today Don and i have been together for 15 yrs. Wow, 15 yrs seems like such a long time to be with someone. I love this man so much. Happy Anniversary Don.

Don, Andrew and I went to the Beach yesterday. It was really nice. Andrew LOVES the water, i thought it was too cold though so i just put my feet in. I really have to get him into swimming lessons soon, he's becoming more and more not afraid of water and that makes me scared. Note to self.





After we spent the afternoon there we decided it was time to leave. We walked down one of our favorite streets in Toronto (the Beaches on Queen) for a bit. And since we had an all day family transit pass we decided to hop on the Street Car and head down to Nathan Phillips Square for the boys favorite french fries from the fries truck. Then we walk down the street to one of my favorite summer spots (Dundas Square) before heading home. When at home we watched a family movie together (Nannie McFie?). It was another great day in the life of Andrew, Don and Sandra. Thank you Universe.

The Tooth Fairy

Andrew lost another tooth on Friday. One of the bottom ones beside the 2 front ones. When he went to bed that night i ask him if he put his tooth under his pillow and he said no. So he did and then as we were falling asleep he said told me that he kind of wanted to not put his tooth under the pillow because then he wouldn't see it ever again. He really seemed to be in distraught, so after quiet thought within myself i concluded it was time to tell him the truth that i'm the tooth fairy. I could feel the relief on his emotions as i told him. He was really happy to hear that he will never have to depart from this teeth ever again. He is so his dads son. :P
