Mom and Dad's trip to London

Favourite things about London:

I love Hamley'sI loved that Stephanie came and joined me for my 40th birthday!!! Thanks for coming and it was so much fun!
Our great hotel in Kennsington
A few tourist shots of :

Westminister Abbey
I fell in love with the apartments. I loved all the black wrought iron and boxwood hedge
The Tate Modern was great, but not the best modern museum I've been to

However, I so love the benches, greenery, and organization of the gardens


I had to take a picture of the London School of Economics....I had to deal with this place so much when studying Polisci
St. Paul's Cathedral...too many tourists to go inside
The famous London Bridge
and the London Eye

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!!

Max and his kindergarten team mates: Winston and Justine

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?)

Bruno's Three Year Old Preschool Class

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 view from the restaurant for Mother's Day Brunch: nice boats!!

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!!!
