Grace climbs a tree!

Grace climbs her first tree...with a little help from Daddy! So cute! We are going to try out swimming this week, mommy and Grace got new swimsuits! More to follow about that... :)

Happy Fathers Day!

Happy Father's Day! We spent the weekend celebrating Dad the good old fashioned way...with hugs and kisses! Grace is moving more towards walking than crawling making her momma wish she could slow down a little! Saturday we had a nice barbeque at the Turnbull mansion with the Coopers! Kanasta turned nasty once again...boys, beware! Sunday we had a fabulous brunch at the Black House! Thanks everyone, xxoo. Ps, does anyone know how I can make the video vertical?

Home Safe and Sound

Our West Coast Adventure has come to an end...but we are happy to be home in our little house on the prairie with Daddy and Aries!! We had such an awesome time and Grace can't wait to get back! But for now, we will be home taking care of a few little things. Our garden we planted has sprouted a couple of things, one is a mystery as the rain washed off the writing on our plant stakes, and the other is potatoes, purple ones to be exact. We are expecting rain the better part of this week, so it shouldn't be long before we have enough stuff to make a whole salad!! Grace is six months old as of yesterday, and we can't believe how the time has slipped by!! She is continuing to grow and learn at an astounding rate! She is on the brink of crawling if she could just figure out how to get those hands to go forward without losing her balance. She pulls herself up on small surfaces and has acquired quite an hilarious chortle. We are looking forward to my cousins wedding in August in Medicine Hat and maybe heading out to Edie's cabin in Saskatchewan in August as well. Other than that, here are some highlights from our West Coast Adventures...off to take on the day, Take Care everyone!

One more sleep and we will be home in Daddy's arms! What a lovely day we had, mommy finally got to get Grace's toes into the ocean! We spent the afternoon with Auntie Muriel and Cheryl down at the beach front. It rained for the first half of our visit and then got very beautiful and sunny! After the beach we had a yummy dinner at Uncle Greg and Auntie Sue's house. ALL of the kids were there and Grace got to have cuddles with all her cousins. Needless to say, all that sea air and cuddling has our little princess sound asleep dreaming of Daddy! It is very beautiful here and I miss the ocean and my friends a ton! But home is where the heart is and we are ready to get back to Daddy and Grama and Grampa and Aries. See you tomorrow!!

West Coast Adventures

Well, our west coast adventure has been such a wonderful journey! We have had some rain and some shine and some very special moments meeting new friends and embracing old ones! The plane ride was a breeze, Grace was a SUPERSTAR! She slept from take off till just before landing, not a tear, even made eyes at 15A behind us! We were greeted at the airport by Tracey and new baby Cavan, what a lovely surprise, not a dry eye for a mile! Grace is enjoying having her Auntie Connie all to herself! Tuesday we spent the day with Tracey and Cavan and Tracey's sister Teri. Cavan is just so very special and handsome and sweet, Auntie Connie made some very sweet tops for them, we teased that the pictures were potentially going to show up on their wedding slide show...so sweet! Then Grace got to meet her big cousins Kris, Ash and her boyfriend Tyler. She had nothing but smiles and hugs and kisses for them. Yesterday we had a visit with Uncle Greg and Aunt Sue and Tyler. Grace got to see uncles doon buggy, pictures to follow...Today we went in to Vancouver to meet Auntie Neo, Auntie Jenn and her two boys Sam and Ewan....SO CUTE! Our day ended at Auntie Tracey's house for a quick visit and a lovely barbeque at home with Tia Tat and Uncle Tress. Tia Tat gave Grace a very adorable new bath towel that has bunny ears and very cute little paws, so we had to have a bath tonight and try them out. As fun as our adventures have been, Grace misses her Daddy and her Daddy misses her. Only two more sleeps till they get to be in each others arms again! Tomorrow we are going to visit with some more friends and relatives and then hopefully the beach on Saturday before we head home, hope you are all doing great!!! See you soon!

Finally some sunshine! We are excited to get out and enjoy a nice walk along the river today! Our time seems to be going by very quickly...Grace has continued to be a joy and delight! We are getting ready for our big trip out west! So many people to see and places to go! Grace has decided that she might just go from rolling to walking, by pass crawling all together! Solid foods have been a hit, particularly apples, sweet potatoes and butternut squash...peas and beans are snuck in to the above mentioned! Grace has been spending her time singing and talking up a storm, she now sits with confidence and has been working on a couple of teeth, fun! Hope you are enjoying the nice weather, it's about time, hey?
