Jack's photo shoot.

We took Jack to get his picture taken a few weeks ago, and these are the results. He wasn't overly impressed with the whole experience, but we managed to get a few good shots.

Our first family picture.

Teeny tiny little sweater vest.

Crazy hair.

Kinda silly, but cute.

Fulton's Maple Sugar Bush

When I was little I used to go to Fulton's sugar bush every spring to see how they made Maple Syrup. It is a great place- you can take a walk through the forest and see the sap coming out of the tree, you can take a sleigh ride pulled by Clydesdale horses, you can buy maple sugar candies and syrup and maple butter, and maple tea... there are endless possibilities. You can also have a wonderful pancake breakfast... it is a lot of fun, and I have great memories of Fulton's from when I was a kid. Ben's family used to make their own maple syrup, so it brings back memories for him as well. (Incidentally, Fulton's also has a wonderful leadership/teambuilding program that they offer all year round- I have taken several groups of camp counsellors there. I highly reccomend it.) (www.fultons.ca -check it out!)

So yesterday morning Ben and I were inspired by the nice spring weather and decided to take a little trip over to Fulton's. It is just outside of Pakenham, so pretty close to us. Jack slept through the whole thing, which was a bit of a mixed blessing because we got to eat our pancakes uninterupted, but he didn't get to see the horses. But he got fresh air just the same, so all in all, it was a great day.

Jack's first trip to Ayer's Cliff (March 16th, 2007)

We went to Ayer's Cliff for St. Patrick's day weekend to visit Ben's parents. It was Jack's first long-ish car ride (4 1/2 hours) and he did pretty well. He slept most of the way, except for when we had to stop in Montreal traffic. He had a bit of a melt down then, but really, who doesn't in Montreal traffic?

He had a great visit with his grandparents and met some of Joanne and Paul's friends.
