weekend
Howdy
This weekend was blah.. rainy... crappy.. cranky... at least the rain and cold stops everyone from complaining about how hot it is!! We went to a few open houses on Saturday. Super tiny places for suuuuper expensive! We had brunch at Little Nest. Just about the best restaurant I've taken my childrens too! I suggest you google Little Nest to see what the bruhaha is!
Today is Sunday and we are going out for brunch with some of our favorite people. Mr & Mrs Monkey Duncan and the always adorable Carter AND the entire team Kwan D'Eon! Should be fun to say the least!
This morning we cracked out the notebooks and started learnin' our wordses! My children are obviously super geniuses! We can confirm that they do not get it from Auntie Erin! hahahahahah

Friday!
Friday was pretty fun. We hit the Cambie St park with the always lovely Kwan D'Eon fam! The kids all seemed to have fun. The strike is still on here in Van so the park isn't the tidiest it has ever been! Ange got some awesome (NOT) shots of me riding the swings.. yehaw, they won't be viewed by the general public tho. Consider it my gift to you!
We made chalk outlines and the kids/Ange decorated them! Maeve and Madigan are wearing gorgeous dresses, Maeve's courtesy of Angela, Madigan's courtesy of Maeve! Ange drew Theo's chalk portrait and it was great! I supplied the sweet sweet cats! I am all that is awesome in illustration today!
After a lovely day with Milo, Theo and Angela.. we took to the seawall and walked to Starbux to meet my friend Mel. Madigan was snoozing away and we had a wonderful coffee break. Since we broke so late in the day, we decided to grab Michael and go out for dinner en masse! It was great.. hahaha ok, Mel got to witness Michael and I bickering constantly.. look people, thats what we do! Anyhoo.. she was amazed at how much the girls eat! She doesn't know the half of it. So, here is Mel's debut on our family blog that she dutifully reads every day! She is a good friend and I wub her!
Saturday I was given the apres noon off for good behaviour! I met with my friend Brea Papea Maria. I haven't had a real visit with her in years! She exactly the same, super sweet, super busy and always super generous! She came by after dinner and met the girls too! Good times!
Sunday we hit Trout Lake. LUcky us, we were right on time for the Latin Festival! Maeve got to bounce in the bouncey castle while Madigan was snoozing, both girls got their face painted and we all had some authentic Latin cuisine! Good times.. good music and good fun!
ps yes those are my awesome piggies!

Where have we been?
So we leave Sara alone with the kids twice in one day and this is the thanks we get!
Freshly scrubbed children, one of which has a sweet tossed salad for a lid!
Sara very kindly watched the girls Tuesday so we could meet up with our financial advisor. She then also watched the girls while we were out putting a bid on a condo. The good news is, we saved ourselves hundreds of thousands of dollars. The bad news is, we were out bid!
Wednesday was a mighty treat! We had some very adorable visitors.
Melanie brought over our very favorite little monkey baby himself. Introducing, Carter McFadden Andrew Duncan. He is adorable. He is very bright... genius even! Not to mention cute and pretty and sweet and wonderful! We love you!

Sunday
Hallo, I've been so terrible with keeping up here on the blog. Sorry. We have been busy! And I have been lazy!
Sunday's at our place means... PANCAKES! I have a secret recipe that I'm not too modest to admit is fanfriggintastic! This morning however, Maeve decided to put a new twist on an old favorite. Not sure if anyone here is familiar withMustard Pancakes but it is a favorite tv show of Maeves. In the following clip, you will see just how literal our eldest darling daughter is!
Too funny. The good news is she ate the whole thing! The bad news is we had to put lots of syrup on it!
Here is our youngest darling daughter. Even princesses need potty breaks!
We are very proud of our Princess Maddie Bea. No diapers during the day since May and almost no more accidents!

Loooong Weekend!
Howdy Doody faithful readers!
So sorry we have been MIA recently! We were up in Vernon (42 Degrees) for my family (Finnerty) reunion. It was hot! Got to see alot of people I haven't seen in almost 15 years! My Auntie Bev did most of the planning/prep and she did a great job. A lucky bonus, we got to see my cousin Eugene! Haven't seen him in more than 20 I'd wager! He lives and teaches in Thailand. It was good to reconnect with people and to meet new Finnertys too!
This long weekend had us travelling through Abbotsford and up Mt Sumas for the Mussellam Family reunion! It was really fun. I ate alot, then, ate some more! The first Mussellam reunion I attended was at Silver Lake, Kelowna back in '95! All the kids I chased, played hide and seek with, and taught poker too are all well into their 20's! They have gotten so much older! Miraculously, I haven't aged a day! hahaha I got to see some of my very favorite Mussellams and Maeve and Madigan got to meet some Mussellam cousins in the same age bracket as they are! So, we are going to try to see more family this year. That is my new year resolution. Yes yes, I realize it is August.. a little late for resolutions.. but thats my goal and I'm stickin' to it!
Big Shout out to Chay and Aaron, CONGRATULATIONS on you bouncing baby boy. And by bouncing, I mean GIGANTIC! Gage was born Sunday Aug 5, 2007 weighing in at a wopping 9lbs 2oz! Way to go.. she gave me a run for my "biggest baby in the family" race.. but fell short by 2.5oz!
