Keir was a little scared of the dinosaurs but he did enjoy "digging" for their bones.

TO_08_06
On Saturday, we had a nice breakfast and the walked up to the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM). It is an interesting building that has a very modern addition to an very old traditional "museum type" building.
TO_08_09
We got down to Toronto on Friday afternoon, explored the hotel a bit had some supper then it was time for Isla's bath.
After Isla's bath Keir and I went for a swim at the hotel pool. They have a a slide at the pool. It was called the "Corkscrew" :-)
You had to pass a swimming test to go down the slide, which Keir did. then it was up the Four stories to the top of the slide.
I had to go first so I could wait for Keir a the bottom. Now when they called it the "Corkscrew" they were spot on. You go down on the pitch black and spiraling down.
Keir made it down but he wasn't too impressed with the dark and corkscrewing, so we didn't do it again.

TO_08_10
On the trip down to Toronto (at one of the many stops on the hwy 401). I think I was caught in the middle of saying "cheese" for the camera, but the kids look good...

A cute picture of Isla sleeping, you can't see it very well but she is holding the hand of her little glow bug.

Snowbanks_08
More snow! The snowbanks in the driveway are far to tall. I have a hard time shoveling the snow to the top now. The most recent snow was a big storm, 51cm of snow fell on the weekend of the storm.

Shoveling_again
Very appropriate title, Keir and I are shoveling (again). It snowed just over 30cm (a foot) on Friday. You sort of loose track at this point in the winter.
Look_Whose_Eating2
Isla gets very excited when eating (unlike her brother did) and dives into the food!
It is very funny to watch.

Isla is eating baby food now, her favorites include Sweet Potatoes, Corn and Banana and Strawberries.
NapTime
Naptime time for all the kids at the Hardie house. The hairy kid in the middle is our cat Cosmo. Cosmo is such a great cat with the kids. Keir absolutely adores Cosmo.
Sliding2
This is an "onboard" picture as Keir and I were sliding, my hand got very cold taking this!
Sliding
Keir went sliding at a Birthday party for his friend Brooke(she is in the pink at the bottom of the hill). It was very cold this day but the kids enjoyed themselves.

Keir_Skating4
We took Keir skating again just after Xmas.
He used the red skating "helper" which lets kids learn skating by giving them something that supports their weight.
It was a nice day temperature wise and he really enjoyed himself.

Keir_Skating2
Keir was able to stand by himself this year when we went skating.
Last year I don't think he had the strength to stand by himself.
He managed to skate/walk by himself for little chunks of time

Happy New Yea
Well OK so it is a little late to be wishing Happy New Year.
We had a nice Xmas break even though Jenny, Keir and Isla were all sick at one point over the holidays (my mom got really sick as well!)
I have a bunch of Xmas pics that I haven't had time to go through yet. I will post them soon
Here is a Xmas gift for you, a little late :-)
It is a blog entry from Simon Whitfeild for all you parents out there I am sure you can relate!
Funny Simon Story
Simon Whitfield won the first ever gold medal in triathlon at the 2000 olympics.
That is all for now
Take care

Isla decided she wanted to play with Keir's Thomas toys.
Isla seems to think she is a lot older than she really is.

SnowBanks
As mentioned in the running picture below, we have had a snow storm (actually we have had several big snow storms already this year)
The snow banks are huge on our street.
They are even bigger since this photo was taken.
They are taller than I am (so 6ft plus), I know cause when I shovel I got to get the snow WAY up there!

This is what you look like when you come back from running in a snow storm in Canada. 40cm of snow and -20degrees but it was lots of fun!

Soctia_Bank_Place10
These are a little late, but a couple of weekends ago my Mum's office had their kids X-mas party, it was at Scotia Bank Place (the place where the Ottawa Senators (pro hockey) play)
Keir got to "skate" on the ice and by skate I mean me hold him up. Actually he did very well.
It was pretty neat to skate on the ice in a 18,000 seat arena!
Thanks to Gran for getting us in!
Keir and Daddy on the ice!
