Uncle Brian and Isaac

Can't wait till our next visit... we miss you Uncle Brian!

Elise's Birthday... On her actual day.

I find it hard to believe that my little girl is 3. After all the struggles we had just to be able to have her... it seemed to take years (well... it did in fact take years... and a few heartbreaks). And then the scare of almost loosing her... at 24 weeks.... the endless hours of bedrest and worry... and here she is turning 3.

Happy 3rd Birthday my princess. You mean the world to us.... we love you very much.



Sorry the pics are in the reverse order...

Blowing out candles!



I can't believe she is 3!!!!!

These were from Father's Day Tea at Elise's school. They asked the kids why they loved Daddy - Elise said she loved Daddy because they play the cupcake game. LOL It's a game on Mike's ipod.

Giving Daddy his gift.



Singing.





She looks so short here!



Here's your cup Daddy....!

I'm so far behind.... LOL but I'm working on it! Here are some new pics.

Our very first picnic on our new picnic table... thank you Kijiji.

Mother's Day

So for Mother's Day I got a new camera! Which, in truth, was badly needed. Our old one was broken... usable... but broken. The battery door on it doesn't stay closed, so every 3rd shot or so it would pop open and you would loose the pic you were trying to take, and a few minutes of putting the batteries back in. By that time the kids had long moved on to something new.

Anyway, I've been trying out the new camera to see how I like it. Here are some pictures...

This was on our way to see the diggers.... again...


Miss Elise in the van... on our way to get a treat.






Isaac and the dandelions... so happy he didn't eat these.






Elise jumping and spinning around... yes these are action shots... LOVE my new camera.












Is it mean of me to take pictures of him crying... he's just so cute...










A picture of me and the kids.... I don't get many of those.


Elise giving Isaac orders... again...












Talk about mischievous!






Okay... I guess that's enough... LOL talk about picture overload!
