Happy Father's Day!

It's been a busy week. Starting last weekend, Brad & I tore down the fortress around our deck...that was the easy part! The hard part is yet to come...making sure all the screws are in below the surface, sanding the deck, staining it and putting up a new railing. In case you don't know our deck is 16 x 30 and the deck was fenced in so we've opened it up. This is not going to be a quick job but it will look great in the end and we will enjoy the deck much more when it is done. Plus, we can now see our backyard from inside the house so it will be great when Brady is big enough to play in the yard by himself. This is a picture of the deck currently.


On Thursday, Brad & I took Brady swimming at the Waterloo Rec Centre and he loved it. He is a little fish! On Friday, Brady & I went to the Gore Birthday Party BBQ and Brady enjoyed all of the attention that he got from everyone. He also enjoyed the cake that Debbie shared with him. On Saturday, we went back to the Brantford Zoo with Jen & Paige. Brady went for his first horsey ride and he loved it, Paige wouldn't go for a ride. Then we all went to the Paris Splashpad & Pool to cool off, where the kids enjoyed themselves and the Mommy's too!
Here Brady & Paige traded hats for a few minutes...I don't think Brad would appreciate his little boy in girls clothes!







Brad went to South Buxton Raceway on Saturday night and got to see his Uncle Joe win his second feature race. Joe took home a six foot trophy. Congratulations Joe!

This Sunday was of course, Father's Day. Brad got a new lawn chair and outdoor speakers which he has wanted since we bought our house. We traveled to London to meet my parents, my sister & Greg for a Father's Day lunch. Then we were going to play at a park near the restaurant but Brady fell asleep in the car on the way. When we got home we just relaxed and Brad got his favorite meal for supper...pizza & garlic bread. These are a couple of pictures of Brad & Brady horsing around on Father's Day.


By the way, Brady is taking after his father, he loves garlic bread. We've also tried some other new foods the last couple of weeks; some of the foods he likes - yogurt, bread, pizza crust, cucumbers and honeydew melon; some he didn't prefer - watermelon, cantaloupe, dill pickles or baby food with meat in it. Brady also likes to make faces or copy facial expressions.
