Summer's here!

Jonas and Nadia are definitely outdoor kids so we are happy the weather is better and we can go outside more. A recent visit to our great friends Nuno and Cara, and family, in Comox has been a highlight - it included sun, beach time, and crab catching. Jonas is counting into the hundreds, reading and writing, at what seems to be a high level for a kid his age. Grandpa and Zeezee swept him off to Kelowna this week while we installed hardwood flooring on our main level - horay, no more carpet! Other highlights include Jonas' Kindergarten orientation, swimming and a new love for cake - with a big glass of milk, of course. He will dress and undress himself with no problems, likes to help with chores/bringing in groceries, etc. and is learning how to play Tennis (with Dad). Nadia loves bugs and squishing bugs, loves princesses (thanks Zeezee for the dress), princess birthday parties, big girls, had her first taste of lobster (thanks Dave and Brenda) and looooves it!

Earlier this month I climbed Mt. Tom Taylor, in Vancouver Island's Strathcona Park, with Nuno Covas and 5 other hardcore dudes. It was a great adventure - 3 days total, 1789 meters (5869 ft), good weather, great food and fantastic vistas! Click on the links below to see photos and video.
