What's New?

Not much...Dana is off to Montreal to visit her Grandfather until late Monday, so it's been busy around here entertaining the kids...Saturday we went to the park to practice t-ball on the baseball diamond - Jack was really into it and really trying hard, Henry played too but he has to learn baseball isn't a sport one tackles other people. We also brought our kite, which on first go was taken away in the wind and broke in a few pieces - who knew it could be too windy for a kite?

This morning we ventured off to the zoo, stayed for a few hours, rode the zoomobile, watched the gorilla's play, there was a 2 year old gorilla that was really showing off and the kids loved it. The dinosaur exhibit opens in a few weeks at the zoo and Jack is really excited about it, Dana signed the kids up for a preview a week before it opens so they have been counting the days...well Jack has. These mechanical dinosaurs are huge, not really a zoo attraction, but it will keep the kids happy.

I managed to get the pool done - just have to heat it up - Hannah was at a friends house for a swim this afternoon - lucky kid. The kids sure miss Dana, Henry was crying tonight in bed that he wants "Mommy home now, not soon, now." Tomorrow I took the day off work, so I get to take the kids to school, which I miss out on - then maybe Henry and I will go for a coffee and a timbit...

Sounds like you've got your hands full but are having a good time. Sorry I missed the zoo trip.

What a great dad you are being. Thanks so much for filling in so Dana could be with Poppa in the hospital. I talked with him tonight after Dana's day with him and he sounded like a different person from this morning. She's doing an amazing job just being there.
