The Little Blue Door

With July 1st not only comes Canada Day celebrations, but also lots of family birthdays to celebrate. Papa T's comes first on July 2nd and then quickly after is Miss Clara B who is turning five on the 4th, and finally only 10 days later Malcolm will be celebrating his first birthday on the 14th.

The Birthday Three

As in past years we headed to Dad and Cathy's home in Bromont for the festivities (not the place with squirrels as Clara would say). We arrived on Saturday morning, and had a quiet day with Dad, Cathy and Rachel who was just arriving home from camp. Sunday morning we went to Dad's church in Iron Hill for a singing celebration where Laurel, Marc, Clara and Leo caught up with us. We all went to the parish hall for a yummy packed lunch (thanks Rachel!) and very sugary cake. That afternoon we hit the fields for some strawberry picking to use on the delicious three sectioned birthday cake and pancakes the next morning. After filling our bellies on fajitas, cake, strawberries, and ice cream, birthday gifts were exchanged. I don't know who was more excited about Malcolm's first birthday gifts, Leo or Malcolm! A walk on the trail and a swim in the pool (mental note, when Malcolm cries a lot he pees) on Monday morning and then it was time to head for home.

Thank you Dad (Papa T) and Cathy for a great weekend!
