Losell Reunion Pt. 1

(Greetings from the offices of jd blog. Dad here on special assignment.
Jonah is off with a runny nose :(

On August 2nd, we attended the yearly Losell-a-thon, held at Ken and Diane's in Orillia. The traffic was horrible but it only rained for about a 1/2 hour which isn't bad considering the weather we've been having this summer.



Jonah spent most of his day interacting with everybody and having a great time. He was drawn to his cousins both young and old and played well. There was an obvious presence of Losell children and my how they grow each year. Jonah was right at home with his cousin Emma, Uncle Kirks daughter. He loved the guitar too.



After dinner there was a music jam with Uncle Kirk and Grampa Ken leading the charge. Others joined in the singing and playing off instruments including Dad. We even had someone on Banjo! But the mosquitos became too bad so we took the party inside.



The next day, Djangy preferred to sit on the steps playing with an empty soda can. What else do you do when your not yet two?



Here are those two sweeties, sittin' in the fly tent, shooting the breeze and swatting mosquitos. What a gorgeous day!

End of Part 1.

Nana is safe in Iqaluit

The office of J.d. Blog just received word from Nana, who is safe and sound in the Capital of Nunavut today. She has wonderful photos, video and stories of the high arctic to share and spoke of some strange geological happenings related to global warming. We look forward to sharing the news and tales of adventure with all of you.

She is flying into Toronto via Ottawa this coming Wednesday the 8th of August.

We'll post updates accordingly.

OUR office is now closed.

We are off to the Losell Reunion in Orillia.

HAPPY LONG WEEKEND EVERYONE!

Paint your wagon



I know this isn't the best photo in the world but I promised to post a pic of me in my new wagon. To be honest, it's a horrible design. The day this shot was taken, the front wheel popped off. Luckily, I wasn't in the wagon at the time. I wouldn't recommend this product 'Little Tikes Ride & Relax Wagon' for the simple fact that the wheel mechanism is secured by a crappy plastic stopper with a thin metal 'claw' type washer. Dad said this thing was worse then putting together an Ikea product, whatever that means. But regardless, we found an old, smaller Little Tikes wagon in the trash so we're going to strip it for parts and 'MacGyver' the wheel so it's functional.

Let the good times roll!

Warmth of the Sun

Hey folks,

Well the end of July is here and I've been pretty busy enjoying the good weather. Dad had some time off recently so we all had a chance to do some major relaxing. As part of our quality time, we all went to Toronto Island and spent the day hanging out on the beach, taking in the sites and soaking up the UV.

Here I am giving my now trademark 'kiss kiss' face to the camera



I also spent some time hanging out with the lifeguards and they let me check out their rescue surf board called a Dolphin...look out surf sisters!



A fab day was had by all and I even dipped my feet in the cool water. Luckily the e-coli count was low that day so I still have all my toes ;)

Awenda

Hello

This past weekend, the folks and I along with my friend Olivia and her folks Jorge and Tanya went camping at Awenda, just outside of Milton on Georgian Bay.

It was a really nice spot with ample room for our gear. The weather held up for the most part ( just rain on Sunday) and we got a chance to go to the beach ( no pics sorry ) and I had my first sleep in a tent which was really no trouble...



What I enjoyed most of all was the freedom of being outside, the amount of trees you could hug and the big rocks I could climb...



It was also really nice to just kick back, hang out at camp and eat ( you guessed it ) peas!



Of course it was also very fun to spend some time with Olivia and her folks. I really hope we can all do it again sometime, perhaps with some of our other friends from pre-natal class.

Give peas a chance



To continue on the theme of my sitting up, here are some pics of me in Stan's old chair with a bowl of my new best snack, peas!



They really are the best food going these days.

At the table



Hey everybody,

Well it's been another busy couple of weeks here at Che Frankelsell. We are more fully moved in but are still dragging our feet on the final little details. I suppose it has something to do with me and the fact that I keep Mom and Dad pretty busy during their waking hours. I've heard them both mention that nothing can truly get done when I'm awake.

One of the latest developments as I had mentioned before was my new found interest in sitting up at the table.



Dad keeps saying that I need to slow down and not be so quick to wish I could do 'adult' type things. Oh well, I say. Also, we have recently purchased a wagon for me and hope to have it set up today. We'll obviously take some photo's of that.

Otherwise, we're just moving along, adjusting to the new routine and trying to stay cool in the humid and sticky July weather. Next weekend Dad has vacation time coming to him and we're going camping with my friend from pre-natal, Olivia and her folks. Stay tuned for a full report on that trip!

No news from Nana but we assume she's doing well.

Take care all you lovely people. Hope this post finds you all living the good life.

Love Djangy :)
