Having fun on the dock at Karen and Lorne's cottage.

After several years "off-grid", we have finally moved back into town (ish) and have high speed internet again! I cannot explain how happy this makes me... I feel completely out of the loop. Apparently there is a whole new world out there, something about you-tube... not sure how that works yet, but I will find out! So we're going to play a bit of catch-up here. Jack is now 16 months old, running all over the place, talking non-stop, and generally making a big mess everywhere he goes. He has survived the move quite well and is enjoying his new day care while Mom and Dad go to work. Mom is very much looking forward to summer holidays! Enjoy the pictures!

Looking for wildlife.

We will miss "our" wild turkeys. They became like pets after awhile...

Easter weekend at Granny's house in Ayer's Cliff.

Having fun at Fulton's sugar-bush with Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, and Auntie Sarah. (Dad is taking the picture!)

Bathtime fun!

Blowing out the candle with Mom.

Both of Jack's Great-Grandmas (or "Super-Grandmas", as we like to call them) were at his party.

This is Jack's 1st Birthday cake that I made for him. (His piece didn't have candy on it...) He was a little baffled by everyone singing to him, but he had a great day with lots of family around.

Christmas Fun!

We had a great holiday! Ben's brother and his wife and daughter came down and spent Christmas with us, and then we all went to Ayer's Cliff for a week. It was fun to have both babies together for their first Christmas.

Coming out to the tree on Christmas morning to see if Santa brought anything...

Jack and his cousin Mackenzie deep in conversation over dinner.

Pre-Christmas Holiday in Missassauga

First things first, I know. I am a horrible blogger. The thing is, we only have dial-up internet at our house, and it takes FOREVER to upload pictures. Having said that, I sincerely hope that this makes up for all of the months you have missed!

We had a great Christmas. We started off the festivities with a trip to Missassauga to visit with Uncle Grant, Aunt Kaye, Uncle Glenn, Aunt Linda, Aunt Jill, and Grandma. We had a wonderful time and Jack really enjoyed himself!

Jack always has lots of fun when Nana Kaye is around.

Opening presents with Super-Grandma.

Ride 'em cowboy! Wearing Great-Grandpa Jeffrey's hat.

Halloween Playdate!

Thanksgiving!

It is a beautiful day today. And I wasn't sure it was going to be- yesterday was blah, to say the least. Thunderstorms in October. Whodathunkit.

We're heading over to my parents place in a bit to do the turkey thing, but we couldn't resist getting a few pictures while the sun was shining. And by 'we', I of course mean 'Ben'.

Wishing all Canadians, here and abroad, a very happy Thanksgiving!

Gobble! Gobble!
