Firestation visit!!!












Thomas is sleeping so sweetly I had to take a picture. Matt is so into legos I had to show some of his creations with you. Matt and Ben played together for 1 hour in the sink... and then Matt cheered up Thomas..he loves to have his legs played with and sung too!!! Matt is fantastic with Thomas!! The rest are all firestation pictures and after way over an hour we had to drag everyone away. Thanks Justin, Ben still talks about wearing his fireman hat... despite it being so heavy, he barely took it off. All the 4 year olds are putting out the fire with pretend hoses and then running back into the truck. Matt, Ben, John and Aiden certainly had a great afternoon. Hello to all, it is slowly starting to look like summer here, take care, the MacNeills

MIddle of May




You can imagine how frustrated I am that the site is not uploading my last 2 pics (of mama and Ben and then the other of papa and matt with their work shirts on). At least you get to see "super matthew" with his rocket boots and red tights and sunglasses... thanks to auntie Pam he wears this outfit all the time unless it is being washed. His friend John thinks it is pretty cool too!!! Thomas seems to be trying to roll over and matt and Tom spend lots of floor time together. And so goes another week in the MacNeill household.

Happy Birthday Oma Trusch!!!










Herzliche gluckwunsche zum geburtstag Oma Trusch!!! Die Junge traggen ihre deutsche fussball t shirts von coppenbrugge, und "Team MacNeill"wollen alle grussen von PEI!!!! Matt und Ben spielen mehr zusammen und Thomas lechert mehr und mehr. As you can see Thomas is smiling more though we have yet to catch a full smile on the camera. The german soccer shirts all say MacNeill on the backs and the boys love them!!! Matt figures it is another "super t shirt". The last few weeks have been busy with Matt and the chicken pox, thomas finally starting to gain weight again and mama's birthday. Matt decided to try the treadmill out and walked for 40 minutes while watching the small tv... he wanted to try when he saw his mama running earlier. We also went to the beach on the 7th of May and put our feet in the cold water. Ben loved the ton of boats (lobster season right now!!!yummy) but mama forgot her camera. I figured I did well not to forget one of the kids that day. Anyway, hope the weather improves for those out west, and hello and happy spring to everyone else!! The MacNeills

Spring is here






We have rain now but did get a few nice days in where we could bar b q and eat outside. Ben, Matt and papa did alot of raking and picking up after Jasper. Matt decided to try on papa's boots and Ben had mama's shoes on in the picture where Matt is also wearing an orange beard along with his pirate face and his cape... there are few days without a cape as matt is often a "super" or a knight or a space man who protects us from dragons and evil supers!!! Never a dull moment anyways. Thomas is now smiling as well and after being a bit sick (just a cold) he is eating better again now too (mama is very pleased about this). Hope everyone is well, the MacNeills
