A horse named Hughie
For Millie's 4th birthday, her uncle Mark wanted to treat her to a horse and carriage ride around Victoria. What a lovely gift! Mark couldn't go, so Dan, Millie and Max and I all got to go. Wow! Do we live in a great little city!
Here are some pictures of us enjoying a brisk fall morning. The kids had a ball!...and so did the big kids.
Thanks Uncle Mark!

Honey honey, how you thrill me, ah-hah, honey honey
It's been a long and sticky week here at the del Villano house. The counters were covered in honey! The table was covered in honey! The children we covered in honey. How we survived is a wonder.
Dan was forced into the quick extracting of the honey from his four lovingly tended bee hives in order to have his yearly donation to Millie's preschool fundraiser. Each year, he donates some of his delicious honey. If there is anything left over, Dan is more than happy to give it away (to people he likes) or to sell it (to people who insist) or to use it to "pay off" various people who tolerate the antics of his wife and children.
These pictures below will give you an idea of the action.

And by the way, the honey, was a very popular item at the silent auction. It didn't go for the highest price, but it did have the greatest number of bids. Yay, Dan's bees!

Millie Turns 4 and Dad turn 69!!
I always think of the fall as "Birthday Season". So many friends and family members have their birthday's in the fall. It makes things busy, but fun!! Last Friday we celebrated Millie and Dad's shared birthday with a family dinner at chez del Villano. Then, on Saturday Millie had a "Princess Party" with a few of her friends. Here are a few pictures...

Dan helping Millie into her new princess dress
Max and Idyn...Max, apparently is still in shock from the drop in the Stock Market... or perhaps he is considering the fact that the McCain/Palin slate might actually win, or that Harper might achieve a majority ...OY!
Ta-daaa!
Mark and Gary

Princess making crowns
Cake time...Millie just can't wait!
