On Memorial Day, Tess and Nora helped me to plant our flower boxes.  I told Tess to get dressed and come outside...

 There are no words.

And then later, I found this on my phone...

Storybook Gardens!

This weekend we went to Storybook Gardens in London, Ontario - a place that my grandparents took Michael and me several times when we were little.  In some ways, it was just how I remembered it, and in other ways, it has changed a lot!  The girls loved it.  Somehow we were lucky enough to be one of the only ones there on Saturday and had the place to ourselves.

One the way to London, we stopped in Sarnia, Ontario at the Wharf (another place my grandparents loved to go) and had some fish and chips!  (ok, two of us had fish and chips while the other two had chicken tenders and chips)

Humpty Dumpty, Tess and Nora sat on a wall...

I think she liked it

  

Um, Nora wasn't so sure about this the first time down.  She got over it and went down about 10 more times.

Can you believe it?

And last but not least, we ate at the famous Delta Armouries Brunch on Sunday morning.  This was the last of the four dessert tables... ice cream toppings!

Guess who loved it?

Holy cow, we took a longer break than expected...

Sorry for the long hiatus!  I don't know what the heck we've been doing, but we haven't been blogging have we?  Yikes!

Without further ado, let's get back to it...

Where did we leave off?

After we got off the Disney boat, we went to a Tigers spring training game.  Considering the Tigers are 1/4 way through the regular season now, this was a while ago!

Tess ran the bases after the game!

Not too long after our trip, somebody turned 6 years old!!!!  So hard to believe that my baby is 6 and is almost a first grader.

Flashback to 6 months old...

And one year...

Birthday manicure with Mom

She had a bowling party with 179 of her closest friends. 

For Easter, we went to the neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt (organized by yours truly)

Tess and the Easter Bunny (aka Bridget... shhhh!)

Easter Sunday

New bath robes from Grandma Muriel!

Had I been updating this timely, I would have been excited to announce that Nora is playing soccer!  But now that I am a few weeks late, I can announce and unannounce it at the same time.  After two weeks, she refused to go back and I got a refund.  So that's that.

Not sure what the problem was... she sure liked this part!

In April, Tess and I went to the Shrine Mother Daughter Breakfast and had so much fun.

Tess and friends

We also had a BFF date somewhere in there.

And the girls went to the first of many Tiger games!

And last but not least, Nora jumping off the diving board!


Ok, promise to do better keeping current!
