Color Coordinated

When Sydney came to see me this morning, it was remarkable how color coordinated she was - right down to her ring pop and matching lips and tongue. Who can resist such a sweet face!!!

A Visit With Eloise

Ellie was visiting me today so I sat her in my black leather office chair and took pictures of her while her clothes were still relatively drool/spit-up free. She was very cooperative.

Brooklyn's Dance Recital

Today was Brooklyn's first dance recital. The whole production was very well done and her little group of three 4-year olds were so cute performing their tap moves. We weren't allowed to take pictures during the production so I had to wait till it was over and catch her outside. Her grandfather (Cindy's dad) was also taking pictures of her so she wasn't sure where to look. These are among the best I got. Her professional dance portraits are really cute. Cindy and Rob will give me my copies when they come in to see Lloyd tonight - it's Father's Day you know :)

My Girls

Lloyd and I have been blessed with five lovely daughters and two sweet daughters-in-law. At last week's reunion I caught six of them (DIL Cindy was absent) all sitting together at a picnic table. If that wasn't a photo op I don't know what is. And they're all wearing our special MacKenzie Day t-shirts. They are, from left to right, Mary, Jenny, Sara, Avril (DIL), Amy (with Aidan) and Emily.

Falling Behind

I'm starting to fall behind on my blog entries so, because I haven't taken any pictures in the past few days, I'll fall back on one or two of the 254 from the reunion this weekend. Hope you're not bored. I love these ones of Quincey and Eloise. The first two are cropped down from a larger photo - Quincey wasn't aware that I was taking the picture. Quincey is Sara's husband and, no, Ellie didn't eat that drumstick.

Baby Coming

I wish I could take credit for this picture, but obviously I can't. While Mary, Greg and Layla were here for the family reunion last weekend, Sara did a photo shoot with them, featuring Mary's 8-month pregnant belly and 4-year old (in July) Layla. I love this whole set of pictures but this is my favorite.

Rainy Day Fun

It was raining today and the day seemed long. After an excursion to Southgate to have lunch with Sara and the kids, we came home. Pretty soon Charlie and Max disappeared to Max's room upstairs. They came down about 20 minutes later dressed in their dragon and kangaroo costumes from last Hallowe'en. That kept them busy for half an hour or so, until the dragon decided he had to overpower the poor kangaroo and her baby, and the zookeeper (me) had to step in and restore peace.
