He's back!!!!!!!!!

Oh my gosh that seemed like a really long year. Alex went out to BC to spend a year with his dad and I missed him so much. He needed time to spend with his other family on a day to day basis. When he came back I couldn't believe the changes, he has grown so much. When he left he was a little boy and now he is a young man and he will only be 13 in November. He gave me the biggest hug when he came up, those are what i missed the most, he is my best medicine. Looking forward to spending time with him if he can tear himself away from his friends. I must remember to call him Alex as he requested and not Alexander as I prefer. 

Although Alex was gone for such a long time May May didn't forget him. He was so excited when he showed up and was just so happy to be in his lap. 

Alex and his mom. The resemblance goes from me to Shannon to Alex. Thank goodness they got their height from my ex. 

Shannon and Mom. She got her beautiful genes from me. When she was born a friend of mine said "Oh, a little Joanne"! 

Sindy took this picture of May May. As soon as Sindy came down the other night for me to babysit her May May ran to Sindy's bed waiting for her. May May is not happy at night until everyone is in bed and then everything is right with the world. 

First ice cream cone

This little boy is 18 months old and enjoying his first ice cream cone on the Sparks Street mall on a very hot day. I think there was more on his face and clothes than in his mouth but he was enjoying it anyway. Many more cones to come sweetie! 

Look at these two cuties excited over May May. Their mother had a hard time getting them to leave and continue on their way. Thanks for stopping and talking to May May girls! 

May May should be declared official greeter of Ottawa. These people had just sat down and she went right over to them to say hi and get a pet.
