Shame on me! Yes, I am a bad blogger...it has been ages, too long since my last post. The Topolski Family has been very busy over the past few months. Jerry had to travel to India for work so I took the opportunity and decided to join him, how could I not? We were very thankful that our parents helped to take care of the kids. Our trip had ignited our travel bug again and I am already thinking about another vacation. Maybe this time with the boys??
We recently celebrated Elliott's first birthday! How is it that he is already a year old? I still remember the day he was born, it was a very unseasonably warm March day and the sun was shining so bright. Tina, again as usual outdid herself! The theme to Elliott's party was bow ties and Tina made bow ties for each of the boys, not to mention a bow tie cake. Avery and Truman spent about three hours rough housing with Pat's cousin Reilly. I thought for sure Truman would be tuckered out and ready for a nap....but no! 
Oliver wants to do EVERYTHING his big brother does. If Truman can do something (like climb, colour, sit in a big chair, dress himself) than Oliver wants to try too. Oliver can already put on his own boots, hats and mitts and attempts to zip up his jacket. Oliver is very interested in babies and strollers. Recently we were at a friends house, where he played with a baby stroller non-stop. As we were getting ready to go home, Oliver rolled the stroller up to the front door. Lucky for Oliver, Pam ad Ashu lent us the baby and stroller. It still remains one of his favourite toys to play with. Oliver also loves to sing songs, every morning he can be heard from his room singing "Baa Baa Black Sheep" or some other nursery rhyme. 
We recently found out that Truman got into French Immersion. so next year he will be starting SK in a new school. He is very happy about it and is telling everyone that he will be learning to speak french. It is still hard to believe that Truman will soon be finishing up JK. He continues to be very enthusiastic about school which I am very happy about. The Topolski Family are now anxiously waiting for some warm spring weather to arrive. Some on spring!!
