42/52 - New Cousin and Daddy's Birthday

42/52 - New Cousin and Daddy's Birthday, a photo by Brandi, Jon and Isobel on Flickr.

It was Frances' birthday and Isobel came into the office to have some of her birthday cake on Wednesday. Jon had the day off and I left work early and we went to the beach. It was a little windy, but Isobel had fun playing in a tidal pool with me.

On Thursday, Robyn and the kids watched Isobel.

On Friday, Michelle watched Isobel at Matt's. We got a phone call offering us a garden plot in Richmond. Isobel wanted to have a picnic so we picked up some sushi and Jon after he got off work and headed to the location of our future garden plot to have a picnic in Paulik Park. We stopped for ice cream on the way home.

On Saturday, Jon's sister had a baby girl, Alianna. As a result Jon's birthday party got mostly cancelled at the last minute as we had to watch Allison's boys. The Birds still came over for a little bit for pizza, swimming and games before we picked up Ryley and Jordan. We had to stop off at the hospital to pick up Jordan's car seat and Isobel was super excited to hold her new baby cousin.

On Sunday, we brought the boys to meet their sister and then headed to Lynn Canyon Park to check out the suspension bridge there. In the evening, Isobel and I went to Karla's for yummy summer salad (Isboel only ate the berries) and carrot cake and to watch True Blood while Jon stayed home with his nephews.

Jon's birthday was on Monday and it was pouring rain. We dropped boys off at hospital with Terri in the morning and then headed to the PNE. It was pretty miserable, but we caught the Bobs and Lolo concert inside - Isobel's first concert. We also ate lots of cotton candy and played a few games. When asked, Isobel said the best part about the PNE was seeing Cally, who was working the Bobs and Lolo concert. On the way home we grabbed some greek take out for dinner. Isobel made a lot of pretend calls to Ava during the day.

Jon and I had both taken Tuesday off as well. We headed to Ladner to West Coast Seeds to get a few things to plant in our garden over the fall and then headed to Granville Island to meet up with Cynthia and Nicholas, We went swimming in the late afternoon at home.
