Finally!

At long last, Janet put a label on her first quilt (apparently, this is the thing to do!  Janet's labels are pretty rudimentary thus far, but she is working on it) and we are now ready to post it to our rellys in the U.K.

Hopefully, it will be posted before Esmee starts school and no longer needs a baby size quilt.  Janet says she is pretty sure the English babies sleep in "sleepsacs", like Canadian babies do, so Esmee can sit on the quilt on the floor.

Bonus!  It comes with a coordinating bib!

Speaking of bibs, Karen kindly made some bibs for Mr. Baby.  Karen is on a major baby sewing gig as they have a new grandson, Liam who lives in Hamilton, Ontario.

These are totally appropriate as we all love doggies and Meg and Derek love biking

Another few days, another few balls.  This baseball business is the greatest thing ever!  Why, oh, why is Camp U.S.A. not located close to a ballpark with tiny kiddies with no skills trying to hit balls?  Clearly, they have an unlimited budget for balls as they don't look very hard for them.  I heard Janet tell Phil that perhaps they could make a few bucks by hiring me out to find the balls for them.  I'm pretty sure Janet and Phil chose to live in this house for the proximity to the ballpark.  Maybe I could go to Camp Squamish when Mr. Baby learns to play baseball.  What do you think, Meg and Derek?

Remnants of ball on floor.

A couple of days ago, we were allowed to go in the backyard.  This is something Noodles and I live for, but Crabby Pants won't always let us in.  No ball, but I am as good at sussing out pieces of wood as I am with balls.

Don't you think it's cute the way I hold the wood in between my hands paws?

I totally don't get this....Noodles loves ice cubes.  She whips her but into the kitchen whenever she hears the ice cube tray being cracked.

The People had Tuscan Salmon from Hugh Carpenters cook book.  They said it was yummy!

From Fast Entrees:
Marinade:
6 gloves garlic, minced
3 Tbsp olive oil
1/3 cup squeezed lemon juice
3 Tbsp honey
1/3 cup pitted, imported black olives
2 tsp chopped fresh rosemary or basil
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes.
Mix together all ingredients and marinate 2 lbs fresh salmon fillet for one hour in frig, turning frequently.

Cook on hot BBQ, checking often, so fish is not overcooked.  Top with 2 tsp lemon zest and 2 tsp orange zest.

Marinade can be made, covered and refrigerated for up to 8 hours prior to using.
