Return of Batman!

We went to Market Days on Friday with our friend, Christine, which means they closed off 5 th street (the downtown shopping area) to traffic and all the vendors came out to sell their wares but in addition to shopping there were clowns (Liam's favorite), a face painter, a dunk tank and of course my favorite the Kettle Corn booth. mmmmm

Liam wanted to get his face painted so I thought he might ask to be a monkey, a car or a bear or something to that nature but nope he wanted to be BATMAN! First off I am not sure if he even knows who Batman is but he knows of Batman from the famous Jingle Bells - Batman/Robin version!! So I guess that's where he got it from? Who knows he's a crazy man these days with a very active imagination.



On Sunday afternoon we headed out to do a late afternoon exploration of the Comox Lake Dam Conservation Area - once again another cool area that is less than a 10 minute drive from us. We did a little trail called the River Loop and saw exactly 2 other people while on the trail. What are people doing on weekends where the weather is in the mid to high 20s. I hope their outside!! Torr enjoyed most of the hike snoozing away in the back pack but when he woke up he was more than amused by his older brother's antics!







Today, I took the kids out to Miracle Beach to meet up with our friend Julia and her two sons , Benji and Noah. They had a blast we only went out for a few hours but everyone was exhausted by the time we arrived home.



Needless to say We've had a busy week here in Courtenay and the weeks only just begun!

Later!!

Yeah we FINALLY bought new batteries for the camera!!

SOOOO it's been a long time, no we haven't been suffering from second child syndrome (which means you forget to take photos of the second one since you lived out all the good moments with the first one, we finally got some new batteries for the camera and we're back on.

Quick update - we've been in Courtenay now for a little over a month and a half and we've been a busy bunch.

Matt is in full swing of work but finds lots of time to bike and hike with the kids.

I participated in a 12 hour bike race with some women I bike with in Cumberland which was a blast. I have been very lucky to meet so many people here in very little time. I consider myself very blessed!

Liam is ready for preschool in the fall and talks about it everyday. He is really grown up but still maintains his easy going nature as I find him frequently running through the sprinkler naked and letting out big farts so he can see your reaction and then follow up with a very polite "Excuse Me heehehehehe"

Torr is just changing so quickly before our eyes. He has started to walk around the house pushing a ride on car, climbs up the stairs (Thanks KungKung!!), and now says 'OhOh" when prompted by Liam. He loves his brother tremendously and basically spends his day following Liam around...what will he do in September!!!

We just finished having a two day visit from Jay, Mel and baby Nate which was fantastic!! I know Torr had a great time playing with someone his own age (Nate is two weeks older) and Liam enjoyed the prospect of having two brothers to push around...I mean play with.

Here are some glimpses into our life here on the island. I"ll add some more soon.
