Trampoline Tots

Another highlight of a very fun Thanksgiving weekend in the south was discovering the marvel that is the trampoline. Miz V is firmly in favour of any activity that makes falling this much fun.

Kenna's Ikea Toy

Big Hit!! V takes it for a test smash.

Some lovely footage of Miz V playing with Great Grandma. Enjoy!

A Little Kindness

Great-Grandma McN found a dolly at church thrift, and V quickly adopted her as her very own. Hilariously touching!

Holiday Hijinks

We're Back!

The big globetrot of 2008 was a success, and we are now back in our own beds. Miz V has renounced conventional timezone tyranny in favour of a new hybrid system entirely of her own devising, but despite the jetlag we're settling back for a well-deserved winter nap. Over the next while (please note the deliberate use of a vague time signifier) I will blog more on V's Excellent Chinese Adventure, but this should give you a nice video sample of the fun and games of a BC Xmas.

V Holds Court

Here's Miz V keeping the party going with her patented party patter...

Brunching McNab Style

Here's a long, but entertaining clip of V sitting with Grandma Nab at brunch.

Brunching with Sir Cedric

The weekend also featured brunch with Sir Cedric - who is whirling dervish of little mandom. But for all his high energy toddler action, he was very good with Miz V, gentle and still wanting to play with her. Here are some images of the two troublemakers...

V Meets and Greets

In the past few weeks, V's dance card has been full up. People from all over the country made the trek to pay their respects. So here's the social calendar update:

First, Montrealer cousin Mark was in town on business, so he popped over for dinner and to hobnob with the little gremlin. He brought a fitting tribute in the form of an adorable sleeper and a plush ladybug, the latter quickly entering the "teething chew toy" rotation.

Then, Sudbury cousin Lisa was in town for business, and stayed with us for a few days, giving V ample time to do that voodoo she does so well. Walks and books were enjoyed by all!

And to top off the visitor frenzy, Edmontonian Keri popped into the Big Smoke for a conference, and spent Saturday hanging out in the Beach with V and L.

In all, it's been just a great few weeks of networking!

Cottage Highlights

We're back from the road trip! Above, some highlights!

Getting in the Swim
