Introducing Joshua Franz Farmer

Aunty Sarina had a baby boy on May 18th. A very fast and furious delivery. Here is baby Joshua. He is so cute and adorable. We are very happy that Joshua arrived safe and sound and so cute!!!There are now 4 boys in the Wiesinger/Farmer family!!!! Plus another boy in the Flynn family. Where are all the girls?

The Play Palace is open

The boys were thrilled beyond belief that the Play Palace is open and they have been hounding me to go for weeks. I guess wet summer days will be spent here. They really need a coffee bar to make it easier: a Starbucks on site would really help us out!!!

Maximilian's First Sports Day

St. Francis of Assisi celebrated Sport's Day, as most schools in BC do, the Friday before the long weekend. I usually loathe Sports Day (as a teacher), but I so loved the way it was done at Max's school: all the students from grades K-6 participate in teams, and the grade 7's organize the event. It was really fun and really nice to watch!!!
Blowing bubbles at one station!!!Max was thrilled to be in the potato sack race!!

Multicultural Party at Preschool

Bruno and Horsey had a great day. Bruno's preschool held their annual Multicultural Party. Each student is to bring in things representing the country their family is from. We chose Austria. The students had a great party to celebrate our Multicultural nation.Bruno having a turn at hitting the pinatta (spelling?)

I love the hats!!!

Since we have no memorabilia from Austria, Mom had to make the poster!!!!
But, I was able to make little Austrian flags for the sausage and cheese plate!!!

Happy Mother's Day

Coffee in the morning at Prado, with Max's dear Friend Vanessa, and Daddy and Bruno!!Happy Mother's Day to all my dear Mommy friends. Here are home made cards and gifts: the best Mother's Day gifts of all.

The boys wanted to get home to play with their water guns. I feel so guilty but the rule is "only use the water guns on ants and plants" so here they are spraying ants with water. We sure had a great Mother's Day!!!

Bruno at Prado, our favourite coffee bar in Vancouver

Mom and Bruno spent some time together while Max was at school. I miss the days of just being with my sons...it seems rarer and rarer as we are always racing off doing too much stuff. Can't believe my baby is going to be 4 years old in a few weeks!!!

Visiting Lord Nelson Carnival

Don't you love Max's new pants!! How preppy! I had to buy them. Time for golf lessons!Max and Bruno and their friend Sebastian went to Lord Nelson School Carnival. It is the school up the street from where we live, and I used to teach there. Bruno won a green emerald ring - do you remember these from the dentist office? Love them.

Bruno's creative photographs

Bruno loves taking pictures. So, I let him loose with my camera, and he took some great photos!!!It is very interesting to see what a 3 year old will take photos of: a great deal of furniture and life at his eye level...

The carpet looks great, Bruno!!


The photographer, himself. Good thing he has such a great name for photography and fashion!!!!
