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. The MacNeills

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

Thomas is getting bigger. He is now in the "bear" winter outfit as he no longer fits into his red snowsuit. Thankfully one can see that our weather is improving so he has not had to wear the "bear suit" too often. We also have been sitting Thomas in the Bumbo chair and he seems to like it well enough... He loved our one day when we hit record highs of 17 degrees and I had to find his ball cap. Matt was painting a toy rocking chair with his papa in the workshop. The last few pictures of Matt and Ben are from today. Ben has been wearing teh orange ball cap everywhere lately and likes to be "cool" with sunglasses!!! Matt was a pirate in Charlottetown today and Ben and mama were listening to music at the confederation center. We had a fun day. The MacNeills

Here are the first half of the pictures I was trying to upload but Thomas decided he was tired and hungry so I had to finish it up early. We had some nice weather this week with the snow melting and we got the bikes out. Here are some pics of the boys. Everyone is doing pretty well, despite the colds. The MacNeills

Last pictures of Oma

We thought that this was the last day with Oma but due to a funny fog that arrived about 10 minutes before her plane was leaving Charlottetown, we got to drive with her to Halifax the next day!!! Anyway, poor Oma did make it home a day late. These pictures are of March 31st, when she had her second last cuddles with Thomas, her playmobile construction time with Ben and his now very beloved "horsies" and Matt and his "knight little legos". They are still playing each day with these toys quite a bit. The last is Papa with the boys between his night shifts. They love their papa and Matt loves his brother. The Macneills.
