Rian & Elia's Reminisces: May 2006

More hanging out in the backyard!

It doesn't feel like June is around the corner - its been kinda grey and wet here but that hasn't stopped us from playing in the garden some more.

Here's Rian on his little

swing - he only started liking it after seeing the Sams like it!

I mean, what's the point of having friends if you can't

get them to try out the plastic swingy thingy that your folks have dangled from a dodgy looking tree...

Look ma! No hands!!

We still love the slide however!

Then there's sweet Nova, our beloved dog... or, ole' wasss-her-name....

No tree branch is safe anymore! Guess what Pete now does to de-stress from a long day??

Fun in the garden!

How cute is this new fleece we got for Rian?!?!

Only MEC would think to have the big bubble head hoodie!

Pete got a new 14 ft. tree cutting toy! How happy does this man look?!

Our little cutie!

Bucket on the head!

Sick Rian

Rian was pretty sick a week or so ago - what started as vomitting and diarrhea became lethargy and dehydration.

He stopped eating and drinking, losing 3 pounds from his little body.

We finally took him into the Children's hospital (we live close to the best paediatric hospital in BC, if not Western Canada).

They gave us a syringe and bottle of paedialyte! So simple I still can't believe we didn't think of the syringe!

Our little patient!

Once he was feeling better, he thought he'd put the paper tray on his head!
