Happy Canada Day!

Happy Birthday Canada!
Hard to believe that two years ago, Emmett and his parents spent the Canada Day weekend potty training. This year, they marked Canada's birthday with a camping trip, and a neighbourhood happy hour in the backyard. Oscar wooed all the ladies...

Camping

Once hard core backcountry campers, Emmett and Oscar's parents are now embracing car camping, as they introduce the next generation to the wonders of sleeping in a tent.
 

 
 

 

 

Out. And he slept almost all night, waking once at 4am for a feed, and then to start his day at 6:30am.

Atop Nana's Mountain

Snow angels and shots of Glayva atop Nana's Mountain (aka Tunnel Mountain) is how Emmett, Oscar, their parents and Auntie Clare remembered Nana yesterday. Oscar caught a ride on his Dad's back, while Emmett hiked the entire mountain almost by himself. They've been hiking up this mountain on March 30th for the past three years in honour of her, to remember her laughter and catch a glimpse of her spirit from high up on a cold winter's day. 

We sure do miss you, Nana.

Fashion sense...

...is not one of Emmett's strengths when it comes to picking out clothes for his little brother.

The quirks of an 80 year old house

Although Chateau StranMcCann was extensively renovated and remodeled by the previous owners in the past ten years, the house maintains some of it's 80 year old heritage.

Ornate lighting fixtures...


Built in wooden shelves with glass doors...


Brown brick fireplace (with living room mess cleverly hidden from the lens of the camera)...



Original oak hardwood floor...


Ornamental feature (the exact term escapes Emmett and Oscar's sleep deprived mother)...

 Curved wall from living room to dining room

 
Original heating register

 

It is here that the eldest of the StranMcCann boys decided, on his own, to pee. Not when he was sleepwalking. Not in a moment of urgency, when he couldn't make it to the bathroom and sought out an alternative. He just looked at it and in his four year old mind, thought, "I should try peeing in there". Much to the chagrin of his parents, who are utterly perplexed by this activity. 

His little brother Oscar, was also quite upset to learn about the pee-in-the-heat-register, as one day, he will share this room with Emmett.
