Reunited with Daddy

Huzzah!  Father + son together again, getting into Canadian antics!!!

Reunited + it feels so good!!!  Jeff has a week hiatus from Hell on Wheels + came home to Vancouver to be with Langdon.  Jeff hasn’t seen his son since he was 3 1/2 weeks old!  This is what Langdon looked like when Jeff left for Alberta:

Squiggly alien. Now he’s a little fatty.  Here’s dad sneaking up on his son unawares.

Langdon did not recognize his dad!!!

Ah…a definite resemblance.  Thanks for the moustache soother Auntie Ashley!  Like father like son.

OOh so cute.  At first, Langdon was shy around his daddy.  Everyone wanted Jeff to shave his beard before he arrived, thinking the baby would be scared by it’s scratchy texture + frightening mountain man factor, but Langdon has proved them wrong!  He loves the beard!  That’s my boy!

Since Jeff’s arrival we’ve been spending lots of time with family.  Water gun fights are a summer must!

Tobin you are soaked!!!  Gotcha!!!

Langdon’s older cousins (who he adores) have been helping to take care of him.  Here’s Tobin soothing + comforting Lang Lang.

Matt is great at holding Langdon who looks like a big chunk of ham in this picture.  My nephews are crazy crazy crazy about Langdon.  We’re so lucky!

July 1st is CANADA DAY!!!!  Langdon’s first Canada Day!!!  Do you like his Wrangler jeans bloomers?  It’s really awesome to have costumers as friends – because they give THE BEST gifts!!!  What a little Canuck!  Next he needs a Canadian Tuxedo.  Some denim on denim action.

What a little thug!  “Oy!  Look ‘ere, mate put the lens down!!!”  says Langdon.

We went to Granville Island for Canada Day – which was a mad zoo!!!  Jeff’s mum was visiting from Ontario to meet Langdon.  The two are chilling on a bench after some gelato.  Langdon has a sassy look on his face that makes him look like he’s advertising for men’s cologne.

This guy is so full of Canadian pride!  I asked him if I could take a picture + he obliged!  Whatta sport!  Even the lenses on his glasses had Canadian flags!  His strong, patriotic veins run with maple syrup I’m sure!!!

Langdon + Jeff.

I’m so glad they are bonding once again!

Jeff’s giving Langdon some much needed hair on top!

We had a delish + posh dinner at Granville Island.  Langdon is very curious about his dad’s beer.  That is your Canadian duty, Langdon my dear.  You will know of this magical elixir one day soon.  But not too soon!!!!

Jeff + I saw some cutouts + had to get in on that action.  Just so you know, posing in cheesy cutouts is one of my favorite things in life.  I better warn the British about those durned pesky ‘Mericans!!!!

Okay a bit of randomness.  Canadian graffiti randomness.  Jeff + I saw “Joan Cusack” tagged in Point Grey.  An interesting choice.  Jeff + I were psyched because it was so weird.

Joan Cusack is an awesome + hilarious character actress.  Also, John Cusack’s sister.  Here she is in all her glory in “Working Girl”.

To our happy surprise we saw the tag AGAIN on Canada Day when we were at Granville Island!

If anyone knows what this amazing tag is all about, can they let us know?  Oh Canada, thou art always shrouded in merry, whimsical mystery.  Well played, Canadian tagger.

Well, I would like to end this post by saying that you would think with my mom AND Jeff around, that I am well rested.  NAY!!!!  I am more tired than when I was left alone with Langdon in the early weeks!!!  Jeff has me running around doing errand after errand with him + I AM EXHAUSTED Y’ALL!!!!  Plus, we have been prepping, packing, tying up loose ends + getting ready to join him in Alberta this week.  Mom + I are driving Langdon + Megumi in my car to be with Jeff for the remainder of shooting Hell on Wheels season 4.  Wish us luck driving to a different province with the baby!!!
We will miss everyone in Vancouver!!!!  Funny how the three of us are drop dead tired but the only one with all the energy is the baby….I see how it is baby…I see how it is.
