We just got back from a two week trip to Vancouver Island where we spent most of our time at the Shivas fishing cabin.

The twins are 15 months old today!
Today both Eileen and Ewan independently ate yogurt and oats from a bowl with a spoon! They couldn’t finish the entire serving by themselves, but we’re pretty excited since we’ve been working on this skills for months.
Last weekend the twins turned 14 months old and we took them to the Alberta Regional Burning Man Festival – Freezer Burn. We went with our good friends Sara P and Levi and their daughters Piper and Lennox where we built our annual contribution; Camp Faerie Tribe and served our legendary home made soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. Our soup this year was fire roasted tomato and basil soup with roasted garlic and caramelized onions. The theme for this year’s Freezer Burn was Fighter Jets vs Laser Sharks and Camp Faerie Tribe was on team Laser Shark.

We flew out for a super quick visit to Kaleden in order celebrate grandpa Maclean and grandma Martin’s joint 70th birthday party along with friends Yvonne and David.
The party itself was lots of fun with excellent food, wine and dancing in the historic 1912 restaurant in Kaleden.

For the last month Eileen has been standing up without holding on to something. Then last week on June 5 she took 3-4 independent steps. She has done it a handful of times since then. She will also walk along side you only holding onto one hand.
No pictures- we are too caught up in the moments to grab our camera phones.
But I have these pictures to share
13 months! This month both Eileen and Ewan started clapping their hands (Eileen started first!). And Eileen will give you a high five and Ewan waves.
Ewan is really into putting stuff in baskets and dropping stuff behind his head.
Eileen loves to turn the pages of books, Ewan still mostly likes to shut books.
They have been enjoying the swing set at the local park and playing outside.
Our nanny, Tiannah, is great with the twins, which definitely makes being at work easier.
Life is good!
Today was my first day back to work, and when I came home this is how the babies greeted me. We stayed cuddling like this for 20 minutes, it was magical.
Eileen pulled herself up into a standing position on May 4. She was working on achieving this for the 2 weeks prior. Now she pulls herself up on everything! She’s very happy.
The twins hung out on the grass today after our walk. Ewan was on the verge of crying and stayed perfectly still. Eileen was so happy, she crawled everywhere exploring the grass, cement and trees. She really does love nature!
Auntie Di and Jer 3D printed the twins rattles for their first birthday and the twins love them!! They had them in the stroller on our walk today and all I could hear was rattle rattle rattle.
