The White House

A couple of nights ago I woke up at 2 am to hear the bedroom door slam closed.  Not the kind of noise you want to hear at 2 am.  It was Quinn coming back in to the bedroom and crawling in to bed.  Apparently Grams woke up and saw all the lights on in the house and went downstairs to find Quinn watching the iPad in the living room.  Yikes!  Just that day the baby gate at the top of the stairs had broken and Don had not had a chance to fix it yet.  The baby gates has been fixed!

I was so happy to have mom here to celebrate my birthday.  Even at the age of 48, I still need my mom.  On Thursday morning mom and Quinn baked me the Cantelo tradition German Chocolate Cake.

I know there are raw eggs in the batter, but what fun is baking a cake if you can\’t lick the beater?

Mom brought Quinn a pair of Lightening McQueen racing goggles.  Quinn thought they were pretty great.   Grams took a break from baking and sat on Quinn\’s kitchen stool.  Quinn pulled up a chair to sit right beside her.   He loves his Grams!

Quinn is taking his first stab at organized sports and started in a 3 – 5 year old soccer class today.  The class is held at a park near our house and there are about 8 boys in the class.  We signed up with Quinn\’s little friend Fraser and there also happens to be a boy from his Sundance class.

We\’ve been practicing a little with Quinn and he understands the first rule of soccer.  Never touch the ball with your hands.   He seemed to have a good time and really enjoyed the water breaks.

Team meeting with Coach Ben and Coach Neil.
