Three Years!

Ron and I celebrated our 3-year anniversary tonight by having dinner at Auberge du Pommier! We had the Peach Gazpacho, Shrimp Brochette, Filet Mignon and for dessert: Poppy Seed Shortcake and the Ice Cream Sandwich!! Mmmmmm..... so good!

Happy 3rd Anniversary Ron! It's been quite a journey already - can't wait to see what lies ahead! ;)

After dinner, I quickly headed to my brother's house as he was babysitting Jacen. I found the two of them walking as I drove by... it seems my brother thought Jacen would look 'dope' with a ponytail!! He said he looked like a samurai. I dunno about that!

Pool Party!

We headed out to Stage West Hotel and Theatre today for Mikael's 4th Birthday Pool party!

Jacen has never been fond of swimming, but we always hope that this time will be different. It wasn't different. He was terrified and cried just when I was changing him into his swimsuit!

But Ron was persistent and took him in the water with him. Jacen held onto Ron while crying for the first little while. Eventually, however, he got the hang of it and actually enjoyed himself by the end. We kept asking him if he wanted to come out, and he shook his head and wanted to stay! Ron ended up having some fun himself - he went on the water slide quite a few times... the men were trying to figure out who could go the fastest... boys!

Cousins visit from the Philippines!

My Ate Nona and Kuya Ton Ton visited us here in Toronto, Canada from the Philippines this week. They're the ones I stayed with when I travelled to the Philippines years ago, so it was great to see them again! It's always fun having family from the motherland here because it gives us an excuse to all get together!

We took them to Swiss Chalet as it's a 'Canadian' restaurant, Vaughan Mills and other places that I wasn't able to join them on. Most of the photos shown here is from our last get-together for them before they left. Safe travels cousins... it was nice seeing you guys again!

Rib Fest!

We met up with a bunch of people at Rib Fest this year! It was unbelievably hot out though, and for the kids' sake (and ours) we sat in the shade.

Of course, Rib Fest is always just an excuse to pig out, and that we did! Yum Yum Gimme Some!
