Lauren Eats Spaghetti For The First Time

Yum.

Mr. Independent

Lately we've been trying to give Parker a lot more freedom when he's in the house or when we're out doing stuff.  He's finally getting up by himself in the morning, which is funny and kind of scary at the same time.  Sometimes we'll wake up and hear his little feet running around downstairs.  And sometimes he'll come into our room and wake us up with the ominous message, "Hey Daddy, come down stairs.  I have a surprise to show you...."  He's getting really good at doing things by himself, though, which is great to see!  He'll need to be super independent when he goes to school in September so I'm glad he has more confidence than he used to.  

Here are some photos of Parker and Lauren goofing around!

 Tiger Uppercut!

 Check out the mosquito bites on Parker's leg!  He reacts like me and they get all swollen and gross-looking.

Canada Day in Bath

On Friday we went to Bath for the annual Canada Day parade!  It was pretty hot in the sun but luckily there was a nice breeze in the shade.  Here are some photos!

Parker wanted to ride in the stroller, which he's probably too big for and hasn't done in a loooong time.  So I took a photo.  He looks bored!

Cheeeeeese!  We're not wearing blue this year!

Happy Canada Day!

 Dressed up for something?

 Dressed up for ArtSci formal.

 Hanging out in my room, which has awesome basketball posters every where.  Yeah, that's right.
