#2 Birthday is coming…
I have just updated Marshall’s birthday wish list in case anyone is looking for ideas.
(sizing etc is there)
We’re planning on having a little gathering for him at our place on Saturday July 19th, all are welcome to attend! Details to follow, but probably it will be around 5pm-ish.

Happy Father’s Day
Ok, so I’m a bit late … lately it’s been so busy at work and at home, so I’ve felt like I’m just running around…so pics will be added soon, I promise (like in the next couple of weeks)
This weekend we went to visit the Duke of Sussex (aka Jamie) and had a nice lunch and visit, and we left Nana there so she could get a good visit in with her baby.
Then we went to Fredericton to have a quick visit with Gram. We had a swim in her pool Saturday afternoon, but Marshall didn’t care for the temperature of the water and was really upset calling for Daddy the whole time. Daddy was busy studying in the screen house!
On father’s day, we enjoyed some ham and asparagus quiche, we had a little playtime at the local school playground (where I went to grade 3), then me and Gram took Marsh over to O’Dell to see if they still had some animals to see. Unfortunately, it’s all different from when I was a kid. It’s all trails now, which I’m sure is nice if we’d brought bug lotion and a stroller. It used to have fenced-in deer and a moose, and a stable with horses. Now all that’s left are the geese and ducks. And they apparently weren’t too fussy about our honey oat bread!
We had a little run-in with some older kids, one of whom at first petted Marshall on the head like a dog, then later disallowed his access to the playhouse. We decided to let them have it.
I drove mom’s old car (the alero) back to Moncton and Rick and Marshall drove our car back. We have borrowed mom’s old car until August to make things a bit easier with my courses coming up in July.
Nana and Jamie came to Moncton for our Father’s Day dinner at Maverick’s, which was good, but not really worth the high prices in our opinion. We had a gift certificate to use up though, so that made it a good deal
Today it’s back to the grind for me…today is the deadline for filing self-employed personal taxes, and there are corporate taxes due June 30th…. can’t wait until July!

Mommy! Daaaaaddy!
Marshall has officially graduated from calling us mama and dada. Nana has become Nanny.
(“Nana” is also banana, so this will help us avoid some confusion too)
More news later.

Sounds like he’s getting so grown up! Just wait ’til he starts calling you “Mom” in an exasperated tone, as if the word has two syllables

Cast-off
Marshall got his cast off today! It was a bit scary but he only cried for a few minutes – it didn’t hurt! And he got more xrays and all is well. The stinky thing is sitting in the trunk of the car for the moment.
Added some pics of our Toronto trip here. We had a great trip – very busy though. I’ll try to update the details later, as we have some interesting stories. Here’s the short version:
-visit with my cousin Steph and her famil (met Finlay for the first time – 19 months)
-stayed with my long lost friend Victoria – we’ve kept in touch since high school but haven’t seen each other pretty much since then. Got to meet her husband and 2 boys!
-visited the West Hill Alyeas (yo Alyeas whatup?) (Marshall says hi Sheisha, hey MATT MATT MATT! and Brooke…the only one he didn’t say was Damon!)
-had a turkey dinner with the Burlington/Mississauga/Stoney Creek and beyond crowd
-Shopped Yorkdale mall and had lunch with my cousin Jana whom I haven’t seen in probably 20 years – and met her husband Roe for the first time
-Marshall had lots of firsts: first plane, first subway, first taxi…first trip to IKEA (and shuttle bus – fun!)
-finally got to the Fluevog store and tried on shoes!
-randomly bumped into another high school friend in the Fluevog store
-lost kitcat, but found him again
-met a bunch of Rick’s coworkers from across the country who were excited to meet the M-man
-snoring man on the plane back was hilarious – Marshall did a good impression of him
-many adventures with stroller/baby/coffee and subway stairs etc.
-found Torontonians to be extremely helpful and accommodating! (I know – WEIRD!
)That’s it for now – must get some zzzzs. Very busy at work this week – still!
I’ll be in the dragon boats on Saturday – hope it’s nice. Also, Nana Sandra is coming for a visit! Saturday should be a lot of fun – they’re closing our street off to cars, and there’s a band at the end of the street and lots of people will be walking around.
