Look! A park!

Look at what we see from

our living room window :

a park!

Yes, we now live in front of

a large, green space,

with nothing on it except

trees and 2 big rocks.

 And there's more:

there is a second, smaller park, close to home.

Now, mom, can you just please

do as you say and wake up

extra early to walk us in the morning?

Thanks! :-)

Our new life

As you can see, our brudder is adjusting

very well to our new house

(ugly flooring included!).

He's happy all the time,

loving daycare more and more and,

apart from needing to get bigger,

his health is much much better.

It's super cool, right?

 Dad found a new job last week, for a big

company in Montreal.

So far, so good!

We are not exactly happy about this,

but we do get a lot of attention in the evening...

Everyday, mom rushes from her workplace

 closer to home and with

shorter hours, 

picks up our brudder and

hurries to get us out.

Fino, who never got the top grades

in housetraining, finds this challenging.

I'm doing great!

 Luckily, we have our backyard!

And we are not the only ones who love it!

No, we're not going up there!

Do not mistake us for cats!

The backyard

Here are parts of our backyard.

Let us tell you, the grass is delicious!

Our new house

We love our new house!

It is bigger than the first one...

and we finally have an outdoor playground

with lots of big trees!

We'll show you in a few minutes...

Jerome is really happy about all of this,

despite what the photos show.

He is the one who insisted on wearing

his winter, one-size, now-too-small

pajama during the hottest afternoon

last week-end!

Getting settled has proven to take much 

for time than expected.

That's why you haven't seen us in a while.

Mom will get back to commenting on your blogs soon...

She's now back at work and Jerome is

getting used to daycare.

No more crying in the morning: yeah!

We were worried about being alone all day, 

it's not the case, for now.

A few weeks ago, daddy lost his job

(the Montreal branch of his company

suddenly closed).

He's working hard to find a new one.

See you in a minute!

Now, where's that camera again...

Bye bye townhouse, hello bungalow!

Who is this moody little guy?

Our brudder Jerome, of course!

As always, he wants to play with the camera

instead of being photographed...

Jerome started daycare last week.

He's a big boy now!

He still would prefer to stay home with Fino and I,

but he has so many new things to learn.

Jerome also started speech therapy

and he's making progress every day.

Where does that leave us?

Well, I guess we'll have to entertain ourselves during the day...

and mom or dad will have to wake up extra early

to walk us a bit in the morning.

The good news is: we'll soon have a lot more room to play!

We'll be moving at the end of the month

to our very first bungalow!

We can't wait!

No wonder our parents are so tired these days, with

all these changes.

Happy Easter everybody!

Remember:: chocolate bunnies are for humans only!

Jerome turned 3

We had a fun run in the park this week-end.

Look, there is ice everywhere!

Surprisingly, the weather is a bit warmer now,

so there are lots of fun stuff to sniff!

"Dad and Jerome, look down before

you take another step!"

Speaking of Jerome, he is turning 3 this week.

He is a big boy now and

he wants to do things

by himself,

including walking us.

He's not yet ready!

Yesterday, we invited mom's family

for a big birthday lunch.

As always, our big brudder

was spoiled!

Earlier this week, Sophie's mom

also made a visit and brought

educational games.

This month's challenge:

learning the colors.

Start by the most beautiful ones,

Jerome: chestnut and white, of course!

Relaxing options

Up until recently, when mom was working on the computer

(or catching up on her friends's whereabouts

on Facebook), Fino and I did not know

what to do.

Usually, this happened when

Jerome was taking a nap

(which is rarer these days)

and I must admit that

stealing his toy cars

when he is not around is not that much fun...

Why not relax a little, then?

To help us with that,

mom bought us two great day beds

just before Christmas...

We love them a lot!

Fino sometimes chews on the pillow,

but he has not done serious damage yet...

Now that Jerome's health is much better,

we are enjoying seeing much more of him.

We know that he is growing fast!

He is now going to daycare 2 mornings/week

to help him gain more independence

before going full-time.

You can do it, big brudder!

We'll sure miss you during the day!
