Icycle 2012
24/02/12
I know, I know I really owe you, my loyal readers, some photos. Meanwhile here is somebody else’s photo which captured Harry, Lily and me at the 2012 Dufferin Grove Icycle race last weekend.
More shots and video of the crazy ice biking spectacle here.
Back to Blue Mountain
01/02/12
After Lily did so well skiing at Blue Mountain over xmas we thought it would be good to take her again. School was shut last Friday so the two of us headed back up there while Caroline stayed at home with Harry.
By Sunday she was skiing confidently down the green runs, like Happy Valley in the video above, and she even agreed to try a more challenging blue run. She did complain that it was “like a sheer drop” but we made it down without much trouble.
Now I really must upload some photos from xmas…

Cycling and weather update
30/11/11
We bought Harry a bike back in June for his birthday. At my request the bike shop very kindly removed the cranks, chainset and brakes to convert it into a balance bike. They also reversed the seat clamp to lower the seat as much as possible but it was still too high for him, so after a couple of outings we stopped using it.
Now he’s grown the extra inch or so he needed to be able to use it and he’s doing really well!
…but I think the weather is going to spoil my plans to have him cycling by the end of the week
UPDATE: This snow didn’t stick around for long
Harry accent update: inconclusive

Lily had a sleepover at Isabel’s on Saturday night, so we took Harry out for dinner at our favourite local restaurant Woodlot. They were quite busy but they sat us at a counter opposite the bar. Harry shared our food – he particularly enjoyed my shiitake mushrooms and Caroline’s lentils, and it was nice to hang out with him. On the way home we stopped at the school playground to let him do some climbing… and singing!
