Rian!

My Dad came down for a visit in April for Rian's 3rd birthday!

• 
  

Rian, my Mom ("Nanna") and I also went on an overnight trip to Harrison Hot Springs where we discover Rian LOVES swimming!

More Xmas pictures!

[Formatting the blog isn't going well but will try to figure it out!]

Rian and Elia! Brother and Sister!

The rest of the Thanksgiving pictures!

Mom hosted the big meal with us, lil' brother Kyle, Mike, our colleague Roy, his partner Alan and Carmen, who just started at the BC Centre for Disease Control as well.

Roy gave us a rendition of the Village People's YMCA!

Alan, Mom/Nanna and Mike!

And while Rian didn't eat much, he helped with the clean up!

Finally, new pictures! Finally, the pictures of Grandpa Bonny's visit over a month ago!

Here are the three Bonny men!

And again!

Rian really loved seeing his Grandpa - and I think Grandpa loved seeing him too!

Do they look related?! It was a truly wonderful trip and so nice that Rian can know his family, even if they live so far away!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm sure in every culture there is a holiday that is solely implemented by eating food! Lots and lots of food!

For North Americans, Thanksgiving is all about feasting so we had a Sunday brunch with the Sams, Jonah and 7-month old Euan!

I love toddler parties - kinda hard to take oneself too seriously! AnneMarie and Dan - and yep, that's Jonah with a bucket on his head!

Rian looks good in orange!

Euan tried to pretend he didn't really know the other four...

Rian likes his mates!

Tammy!
Libby and Dan (with Jonah's lil' bro in there some- where!)

Eat well all!

Grandpa Bonny's visit!

Pete's dad was visiting for latter-half of Sept! He had a great visit, going to ScienceWorld, Bard on the Beach, Kiri Te Kanawa concert, Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast, not to mention the beaches, playgrounds, Little Nest cafe, etc!


Rian also likes our new light....

More Mayne Island pictures!

Nanna and Rian in the Japanese Garden!

We saw little frogs hanging out in the little trees!

Nova is a beach dog! Anyone who knows Nova might not recognize her from this picture - she is sitting patiently! But after 3 years, we have finally trained her to sit for 20 seconds and wait for the stick to be thrown! Yea!

And Rian is a beach boy! This pic goes out to my lil' sister Kelty... she likes his Rian-the-lion look!

Beautiful Mayne Island!

Labour Day weekend on Mayne Island!

We borrowed our friend's cabin on now our favourite BC Gulf Island!

We helped a neighbour collect seaweed for her compost pile!

Rian is a natural talent at golf! The first step is to set up the shot!




Then whack the heck out of it!

If there is every a Father-Son golf league, we might have some contenders!

Action shot!!

White Rock! Canadians are so literal... there really is a big rock painted white in White Rock BC!

The August 2007 pictures! Not sure what happened to Aug but it appears I was too busy to blog!

Rian is now 2 years and 4 months old! He can get himself up on the car at the playground!

The PNE Fair is pretty famous in Vancouver so we braved the crowds! Rian got to ride a tractor with Uncle Mike!

But I think Rian got a little scared of the llamas...

In no time though, he was feeling better and won at the swimming duckie game!

Nanna and Rian!

We had a lovely dinner with Alan, the partner of one of my colleagues! Pete also spent a Daddy Day with Rian at the beach!

Our cutie!
