august recap

can't believe it's been almost a month since my last post. guess time flies particularly quickly in the summer. i took a couple of days off to give myself a super extended weekend and it has been quite enjoyable. here are some pics of naters from the last little while:

playing with his funky sunglasses (from pastor karen)
wee! fun times on the swing.
ride 'em, lil cowboy!
our lil explorer
nate's take on jackson pollock
on saturday we had our first family biking excursion. along with andrea and mike, we ferried over to the toronto islands for a day of cycling. we were concerned that nathan might put up a fuss being in the trailer for an extended period of time, but as you can see from the first photo, he fell asleep about 10 minutes into the ride. it was a perfect day for biking and was very leisurely. we walked around centreville for a little bit too so that nathan could check out the farm animals. he's probably still too little for the rides, but it seems like a good activity for next summer.
doesn't look like the comfiest position, but he had a good 30 minute nap anyway.

pointing out the animals
"wowee! what a big chair!"
"look! a chicken!" ... and then he got pecked.
a beautiful day @ the islands
clearly not a fan of the splash pad

"Do you want any mangos?"
"No!" Proceeds to eat mangos

"Do you want Goldfish?"
"No!" proceeds to eat crackers

"Do you want to go home with mommy and daddy?"
"No!"

hahaha... I was amused for a good while.

glad that you were amused rather than annoyed. ;o)

His head is still perfectly round.

it's *fairly* round...not quite perfectly round. if you feel it at the back, i think there are some not-so-round parts. :o)
