May long weekend !!

Friday, it was a beautiful day. Jacko and a friend had done a job this past week that they decided to take the money from that ad have an asado after work on Friday. We had Mario, his wife Francine and a few other friends over and had a great time. It was beautiful out.
Satuday Jacko had to work somewhere and we got some house work done, Jacko got home at about 5 and we were going to go to a BBQ that night. I was making food for the BBQ and Jacko decided to have a snack before going. Manuk was sitting on Jacko's lap, happy to have his daddy home, and in 1 second, grabbed the knife Jacko had and sliced his finger. We made our first trip to the emergancy room and left with Manuk getting 3 stiches. If was a tramautic day for all of us. Manuk was so good and I was so glad it happened while Jacko was home, because he is so calm, I was glad to have him there. We got home from the hospital, ate the appetizers I had made for the BBQ and went to bed.
Well, Sunday was a beautiful day here. We woke up and went to my parents for brunch and then spet the afternoon gardening. Manuk loved the wheel barrow and playing in the dirt. His finger was wrapped really good so as long as he didn't get it wet, he could play in the mud.
Today is Monday and it was great to have Jacko home today as well. We did some house work, getting ready for our garage sale and getting ready for Betty to come.
All in all, more excitment than planned but a good weekend.
(except for the fact that Manuk just pulled 3 keys off my keyboard, so I still can't figure out how to get the "N" key back on, which is making typing a long process.
Hope everyone had a good weekend.

A true Argentinean

Well, Today marks a milestone in Manuks life. Yes, in true argentina style, Manuk has very few teeth but is still abl to chew on a asado bone. He really did love it.
We had friends of ours over for dinner, Tusa, Matthew and their three kids, Ziah, Ianiquin and Kais. We had an awesome time.
Jacko has also been playing (and writing) music with a band and Manuk is listening to the 4 track to Jackos music, he loved it and danced in Jacko's lap. Here's a few shots.

Mothers day - my first

Well, this was my first official Mothers day (while living in the country that was celebrating). Mothers day in Argentina was in October but we were back in Canada by then. We had a really nice time. We went to mom and dad's on Saturday night to celebrate with the family. We had a really nice time. It was beautiful and really special. Dad wouldn't let me do anything, no even deliver a drink or wash a plate becaue I was a mom too. Very sweet. We had an awesome dinner that dad made and go to hang out for a while. It was fun.
Sunday morning we woke up, Jacko wished me a happy mothers day and we had a nice morning, just the three of us. Manuk helped with some sweeping, and then we went grocery shopping as a family. It was really fun. We went in Jacko's truck so Manuk got to sit in the front between Jacko and I and loved being in the front. Jacko rested his arm on Manuk's car seat and Manuk put his hand on Jacko's arm and away we rolled. So cute! Jacko said he is going to take me out for dinner for mothers day once our friends restaurant comes out with their new menu (on the 20th, fingers crossed).
Once we got home, we hung out outside, played in the grass, our friend Nancy came over with her dog for a visit and Manuk got to meet Krinkle (the dog) for the first time, it was cute. Mom and dad rode their bikes over later on in the afternoon for a visit. We were then invited to Jacko's aunt and uncles house for dinner and after saying yes, decided to not go and veg out and watch a movie. It was really nice.
Here are a few pics to show our day.
Happy mothers day to all you mom's and grandma's out there

Just like daddy

Well, Manuk tried Maté for the first time and seemed to enjoy it. I don't know if he really enjoyed the drink or if he just liked being like daddy. Probably a lot more of the latter. Manuk also comes down to jam when we are jamming with friends and likes to play along. He has his own drum and mini keyboard but always likes the "big kid" real instruments better.

Trip to the park

he weather has been so nice lately and yesterday Manuk and I walked to the park to play for a bit. Manuk went on the swings for the first time

We took off our shoes and socks and played in the sandbox

Manuk also loved to wake up and play the piano. This is a daily occurance, he LOVES to play any musical instrument,

We also had our first outing to a play group at a friends church. It was fun.

Yummy !! Smoothy

Well, I have started to drink a orange, banana and Kale smoothy and Manuk loves it as well. I can't ever drink the whole thing myself, here are a few shots of him loving it.
