The Old and the Restless

While I was in Toronto last week I picked up Tom from preschool from Monday to Wednesday. After he asked me if mommy was home and if daddy was home, he always wanted to stay and play a little while longer. If I had the camera out, Nelson wanted me to take his picture too. Tom wanted me to make sure I put the truck he made in the picture.

I flew from Toronto with Margot and family early Christmas Day. It was nice to have the children (and their parents) with us for eight days. Joshua was enthusiastic about everything. Watching the manatee. Since it was  a cold morning, there were a lot of manatee at Blue Springs. Having a rest. Ella didn't want her photo taken today . The children seem to be more interested in the playground than the manatee. Joshua is trying to show his missing tooth which was removed at the dentist the previous day. A conversation with Grandpa during a walk on the beach. The Biolab alligator safari. "I spy with my little eye..."

Michael and Tom made gingerbread cookies. On the Sunday before Christmas, Joshua, Ella, Margot and Mark came for lunch. First, they had to explore the renovations. The laundry room is now on the second floor of the house in what used to be the kitchen. Megan and Tom And a happy Christmas to all!
