New slideshow!

We bought him a new ball - thankfully it is as good as the first one in his eyes...click on the photo for the latest slideshow! There's a great shot of all four of his little teeth!

So it's official, I'm a working mom. I have only been going in part time and I already find it tough. I am applying for a full time job - despite the obvious burden it might be - it's one of those opportunities that don't come up all that often and it's really the direction I want to be going in as far my career goes. I miss Gus most of the day, and he misses me - I can tell by the way he clings to me all night right now. He will have to get used to it eventually, but it seems like its pretty tough on him. Darren has been fantastic being a stay at home dad. It's tough though because we don't get much time together anymore - he does his work when I'm at home. We did make it to the beach this afternoon (sorry no photos), at least we took advantage of the heat wave we've been honoured with. June is usually wet in Vancouver so we have to take what we can get. Lousy temperate rain forest. I will try harder to add more entries more often...

Who knew that feeding a baby could be so funny! It seems whatever we give him most of it ends up on the outside and not on the inside. He looks more than a little satisfied with himself.

Swimming in Nanaimo

Back in April (around the 23rd), Kelly and I took a refreshing dip in the ocean on a nice warm day. The water was chilly, of course, but the sun was there to dry us off afterward. Thanks Cheryl for taking the photos!

Here is a shot of Laika on the same beach:

and here's Augusten and I and Laika on the beach in Parksville. I was planning to swim here too but the tide was so far out it would have taken me 20 minutes just to get to the water!
