Beauty is Truth, Truth Beauty
While the gals were away, M got all sorts of things done around the house - including hanging the Grandmas birthday gift to Miz V.
This stained glass panel features the Japanese kanji characters shin jitsu - the closest translation for Verity. 
I will let the beauty of the image speak for itself. Clearly, this is an instant heirloom.
Thank you again, Grandmas D and L, for this remarkable, generous gift. It is hanging in the dining room window (currently flanked by the summer blackout shutters, but in the fall will stand alone) and Miz V likes looking at in and making dolphin noises. I interpret them as approval.

Getting in the Swim
Here are some shots of Miz V's first foray into aquatics. Huzzah for splash pools! We're now looking forward to starting lessons this winter

Walkabout
Big highlights of the BC trip were the walks we took out in the Maple Ridge area. On Saturday, V rambled to North Beach with Laura and the Aunties Kenna and Sonya and SuperUncle T, then on Sunday (a much warmer day) we all set out again, this time adding Grandma McNab, Auntie Hanifa, Coz Nathan and Unca Richard to the crew, exploring the Cliff Falls area of Kanaka Creek. Dang, it is pretty - and since Miz V loves her the trees, these were very exciting outings indeed! Below - a quick slideshow of some photographic highlights...
Dancing With The Stars
This longish clip features Miz V getting down with her bad self and Grandma McNab and second cousin Erica. Note the minor chaos around. Brunch with the McNab/Roald/Gallaghers is rarely zen!

Fireside Chat with Grandma McNab
Miz V worked the room very hard this evening - she very clearly wanted to capture and hold Grandma McNab's attention. Note the hilarious flailing limbs.
