Sitting up!?

Ok, so I'm not exactly sitting up on my own but it looks good, don't it??
Sigh...this is the life.
(2 months & 5 days old)

2 Months old

Here's Ethan just hangin' out with his teddy bear on his 2 month birthday - Oct 22.
The pj's that he is wearing are a little short now in the legs...if I cut the feet out I might get some more wear out of them!! haha!!! These will be the first of many things that he will grow out of I'm sure.

Ethan's First Snow

Ethan helps Daddy shovel snow on October 21st. That's right, can you believe it?? We had snow and it's only October. Ethan wasn't happy about it either as you can tell.













Not only does he not like the snow, he doesn't like the cold either....

Ethan's Welcome Party

Auntie Marlene threw Ethan a "Welcome to the Clan" party on October 4th at her home in Cambridge. We had a great turn out, members from both sides of our families came to welcome Ethan. Marlene did an awesome job from the invitations to the food to her wonderful hospitality. We all had a great time...Mom would have loved it.

The Guests

Auntie Jean, Gee-Gee & Ken

Lee, Jenn, Laura & Ethan

John, Elizabeth & Pauline

Marion, Aidan's little friends & Jeff

To name a few.....

The Gifts

Here's just a few of the wonderful gifts we received for Ethan that day.
Auntie Marlene made the Winnie the Pooh duvet cover and she also created, from her head, a change pad to match. She is talented....just don't ask her to do it as it usually takes her a long time....I think I'm still waiting for some pillows for my day bed...wait a minute, I don't have that anymore!! See what I mean? I always kid her about that.

Thanks to everyone that came to Ethan's party and for the lovely gifts. We really appreciate your thoughtfulness & generosity.

A Trip to Chappell's Farm

Thanksgiving weekend we took Ethan to Chappell's farm just outside of Barrie. I wanted to get his picture taken in the pumpkin patch. I also dressed him in his Halloween outfit from his Auntie Marlene for the occasion. He was the cutest pumpkin in the patch.

Week 1

Just hangin' around

I've got my thumb!!!

Cousins

Ethan & Ewan

Ethan & Ewan are about 3 months apart. Can you tell who's older??

Grandpa Joe with Ewan

The Company Man

Daddy with Ethan on the day we came home from the hospital. We stopped into Jeff's work to show off our little bundle of joy. Jeff has a picture of Tyler & him like this so he wanted to do the same with Ethan. He's a company man all the way.

Our 1st Anniversary

Happy 1st Anniversary to us! One year ago Jeff & I said "I do"....I can't believe it's been a year already.
This was my favourite part of our whole day...well, yes the kiss but I really mean the ceremony. For me if we didn't have a reception that would have been fine. The ceremony was the best part - the memory I look back on and smile and remember every detail. I'd do it again...it was the happiest I felt in my life.
It's hard to believe it's been a year, it doesn't seem like it. Still feels like were on our honeymoon. Guess that's a good thing. You know what an even better thing is? We have a son, the one created from that love. For that we are blessed.
Here's to a year of marriage under our belts and many more years to come. Cheers!

Our First Walk

Our second week home and we finally managed to get out for a walk. We tried all week and finally got out near the end of the week. We had four dogs run at us...not sure if they were going to do anything...all were off leash and no "Master" in sight. It felt like a test. Luckily nothing happened and our walk was a success.
