Daddy's Birthday

Today was a nice birthday. Amelia got me airplanes for us to play together. Kate baked me a delicious chocolate cake. Then Amelia finished off the night with a rendition of Happy Birthday Daddy.

Visiting Tom & Abby

Amelia & Kate had a great time visiting Tom and 10 day old baby Abby this week. Amelia and Tom shared a chair and books. In the video, they're reading Topsy & Tim books which were a favourite of Katie & Suzie's when we were growing up and now the kids love them too.

Amelia & Tom got along great, even running to each other for hugs after a 5 minute separation between the park and lunch.

Abby is just lovely, and even fell asleep for me . . twice :) Amelia usually isn't interested in babies, just asks for a hug sometimes if I'm holding one but asked to hold Abby a couple of times.

A picture with Grandma didn't go so well once the kids discovered they could climb behind the couch.

This Year's English Coat (and Wellies)

Here's Amelia modeling her butterfly coat and wellies, purchased by Grandma and Gran Pat at a lovely service station in the Lakes. Both have enough room in them to last the year :)

Happy Birthday Baby Abby

Amelia's cousin Baby Abby (Abigail Grace) arrived today at 8:06am weighing 8lbs 13oz. Here's Amelia's welcome.

Valentine's Day

Thanks Grandma Becky & Grandpa Jim for the Valentine's Day gift and Card. She's not quite up to Auntie Suzie's standards at the memory game yet, but I'm guessing it won't take her too long.

January and February Pictures

Here are a few pictures from January and February. Amelia has been wearing her sunglasses with the bright sun and snow combination. She also enjoys serving us cookies from her cookie sheet.

A few weeks ago we went bowling as a family. She beat Mummy.

We've been outside a few times to play in the snow.
