Jack loves the “new” typewriter that my parents had left at our house to be donated… unfortunately we won’t be able to donate it for a while.

Always eating. Almost always adorable.

Oh, isn’t he to die for? 🙂

Jack, Jeff, Leila and I all went on Grandpa’s boat for dinner and black flies. I was the only one afflicted with the evil black flies, but such is life. Jack had a blast scampering back and forth on the deck. He wanted to be the captain, and Grandpa, being the softy that he is, let him steer (is that what you do with a boat?) the boat for a while.

We went on Lake Ontario, and we had to the muck in the Genesse river is VILE.

Here’s a picture of Jack and Grandpa, the two captains.

There are more pictures that will be posted, but for now here’s a picture that Jack took of his feet.

And one he took of Grandpa.

Its your special day Grandpa… now GET TO WORK!

Jenny and Leila checking out the Father’s Day cake. Yummers.

Watch out Kevin, I think Jenny’s getting the hang of it!

Jack with Grandma Grandma, Aunt Jenny and her Kevin, all together in the warmth of the laptop light. Awww…

Stuff the pacifier in her mouth…

And he’s put my daughter to sleep! Of course, since he went to sleep hours ago, she’s woken up again. Darn.

Jack decided to take a walk in his daddy’s shoes while he ate pancakes this morning.

I don’t know if you can tell, but there was syrup (or as he calls it, ketchup) all over his face.

We went for a walk along the path today and he found some maple leaves that he wanted to show his daddy. I wish that I could wear maple leaves and stay hidden sometimes. It doesn’t work as well for me as it does a four year old. Darn.

More Leila bits and pieces photos. I figure that I should get as many photos of little Leila’s fingers and toes before she becomes big Leila and my screaming meatloaf baby is gone.

This was my day. I was tired and cranky, Leila was cranky and needy, and once Jack got home he was a bit tired, since they work him pretty hard at daycare and he didn’t take a nap today. For the first time so far, Leila was really driving me out of my mind. Sure, she annoys me some times, but this was the first time that I really felt at wits end. Of course part of it could have been that I was completely exhausted too.

It wasn’t all bad though. Jack is still a dear and I think eventually Leila will be a dear too.

I guess I love them, don’t I…

Jack was a sheep in our church’s end of the Sunday School year play. His younger cousin Ben was also a sheep and his older cousins, Sarah and Rachel were fat and skinny cows. Don’t ask. You really needed to be there.

The adorable girl feeding Leila is our Choir Director’s daughter. We were at their house for our end of the year choir party and she asked to feed Leila. How could I refuse?
