Bellies

Thanks Elisabeth for reminding me to get pics up again! I kind of ran out of steam lately, and anytime I think of it I am too tired, but here's a reminder WHY. I have 8 weeks until baby #4 makes her appearance!!! My two Goward sister inlaws are expecting around the same time too-Janelle in Feb and Alyssa around Christmas.

Camping Memories

Double doubles, camping style. Living at the beach as much as possible. Our last camping trip with our family dog Berkely. Beautiful Fintry!

Surfs Up! Sim's 4!

Owen's job at Club Penguin and the boys seeing "Surf's Up" sparked the surfing penguin beach party for Sim's 4th. We had a fun time playing at Pritchard park with Sim's cousins and some of his preschool friends.
Simeon is such a wonderful, creative boy, often pretending to be a new character from a recent book or movie. He is a leader, and directs us as to who we are in his story so that we are inspired to join in. He is really proud to be 4, a really big boy now. He keep telling Owen that he want to marry me, and I am enjoying the adoration!

Posing

Such a girlie. Olivia started posing for Owen one afternoon, all on her own, and he happened to have the camera nearby to catch her in action! I have to say, my boys do not do this. In fact, I often resort to bribery to capture a smile and to convince them to sit still long enough. They are such different creatures! It is fun to have both, and to enjoy them all.

our 15 month old

I love this picture of Olivia because it reminds me of one that I have seen in my parent's albums of me at this age. Lots of delicious chubs and a huge teethy grin! Sometimes I see so much of me in her, then other times it's all Owen, except her eyes which will always be mine. She is quickly leaving the baby stages behind, our Little Miss Independent!
