A Nice Weekend

Karen here.

We had a nice weekend this past weekend. We've been super busy ever since we got back from Halifax (oh that never ending to do list seems to just grow and grow and grow). So this past weekend we took a day to breathe.

Once a year Matt goes to a rugby match: Canada vs. someone. This year it was Scotland. Matt always has a gaggle of buddies who attend the match (yes gaggle because by then end of the day most of them can't walk straight and rather waddle like a goose!), but this year only 3 guys went. And one of them also has a new baby, so they were all a little more in control than normal. But it was Matt's day to let loose and enjoy hanging with his friends in the hot sun. They had a really great time and were asleep by 10pm! Wowsers!

While the cat was away, the mice shall play, n'est pas? Well, since Matt was gone most of the day, I invited a girlfriend over to hang out on the deck. We got a little sun and had a lovely lunch. But what was really nice was how much my friend, Jen, enjoyed hanging out with Magnus and how he enjoyed hanging out with her! He's been choosier as to who is a lucky recipient of his famed wide mouth smiles. And he's even choosier as to who can hold him. But he warmed up to Jen very quickly. :)

In fact, we captured them playing together.


And just this past week Magnus has started turning the pages in the books we read. So I also captured them reading together.


So cute! I love that he loves to be read to!

The next day, Sunday, was a whole other matter. Yes, it was Father's Day, but we spent the day tidying up and running errands etc. Oh, plus we looked at a few houses. Yeah, there is that. We are officially house hunting. So time consuming. Hence Saturday was a rare treat and it did us a world of good. :)
