Episode: Tree Planting at Onondaga

Saturday April 18th, 2009 Ali, Mary, Rui, Kathy and Rob ventured out to the Tim Hortons Kids Camp at Onondaga to plant a few hundred Red Oak trees, followed by lunch and a tour of the camp.

The Marts and Silvas showed up later and joined the planters for a supper at Uncle Gils farm just down the road. The kids had a great time running around, and trying to name all the different types of birds.

Happy 11th birthday to Mary Watson. Hope you had an awesome day. Can't wait to see you all in Grand Bend.

Episode: Olympics...Here we come!

Tierney had her first gymnastics lesson on Saturday! She was so excited. Her coaches name is Meredith and she attends Tumble Tots. The first lesson was awesome they learned so much and Tierney could do almost everything without any help. We are looking forward to all the weeks ahead.

Here she is on the balance beam,

And on the trampoline,

And the bars.

We can't wait to go back and learn some more and have some more fun .....and ps Daddy had fun too!

Episode: Everything's coming up Everett

Well, Here he is ........finally! I had to take many many pictures of him to abolish the old adage that the second child does not get as many pictures taken of him as the first. Oddly enough after this sitting Tierney remarked that "There are no pictures of me when I was a baby ya know"

I had to laugh because there are literally hundreds anyone who knows us knows this to be a truth maybe thousands I would have to check.

And Yes he did pee in the air during this photo shoot. I did not get a shot of it but it would have captured the true Everett.

Tierney had no qualms about kissing her brother when asked to for a picture. However my vantage point was not always the best there were about 50 outtakes for every good kiss shot.

As you can see he is filling out quite nicely pretty soon we should see some nice ham hawks starting to develop.

He naturally looks into the light! Perfect for those

"Reflective Baby" type poses. What do you suppose he thinking about? Perhaps reminiscing about his time in the womb.

We hope you enjoyed our photo montage! Stay tuned for more as I am a snap happy mama!
