We Miss You, Auntie Jenny and Uncle Jeremie!

June 9-16 Henry and I took a flight out to visit my sister and brother-in-law in Edmonton.
We had a great time and miss them a lot!!

Below are a few memories from our trip. . .

Henry really adored his Uncle Jeremie. I think the feelings were mutual.

Fun at the park!

Henry and Auntie Jenny picked up their affection for eachother right where they had left it at Christmas, the last time they'd seen eachother. Henry did discover a new found love in Lyon the cat.

On the train at Fort Edmonton!

At the Legislature Grounds - it was so beautiful. We tried to go back for a second time on the day before I left, but just couldn't recreate the beautiful Sunday afternoon we had there.

Watching our plane get prepared to take us home to Daddy!

Thank you for a fabulous time, Uncle Jeremie and Auntie Jenny!!

We made so many special memories!

Love you guys!

Leaving on a Jet Plane. . .

Hopefully by the time you are reading this I will have landed in Edmonton.

Henry and I are going on a little trip to visit Auntie Jenny and Uncle Jeremie.

I'm sure I'll finally have a post for you by the time I get back!

Below are some photos using the new camera Cory got me for Mother's Day!

Tante Vanessa and Matty

An excited boy!!

A serious boy!!

Matching Crocs and a grumpy boy!! :)

New Friend

Henry has a new friend. They met eachother while I was busy washing dishes. I didn't even notice they were talking until I turned around to see Henry sharing his life story. Here they are laughing at an inside joke.To appreciate the affection of this moment keep in mind that Henry's kisses are rare, indeed.

Flower Child

TA DA!!

This evening Cory brought me home a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

I'm kinda spoiled that way - I get flowers pretty often.

This time Cory also pulled out a special red flower just for Henry.

The following sequence gives you a glimpse of the thirty minutes worth of Henry's dancing

due to his excitement over the flower.

Happiness held is the seed; Happiness shared is the flower.

All Boy

First Birthday Memories:

Henry was very cheerful. He even did a jig for the first time which had us all in stitches! Grandma made Henry a truly beautiful quilt for his bed and Oma made Henry an eye spy quilt (pictures to come!)! He was very spoiled by everyone else, but not enough to make him rotten :) He even got a surprise gift from Great Aunt Angela! The food was great, although Grandpa had to rescue Mama's pasta (way too much pasta in a way too small pot). Overall, it was a really great time!

How is my little baby a one year old. . .?

Happy Birthday Henry!

Happy Birthday to my most adorable little bean!

Yesterday was Henry's First Birthday. We spent the day doing laundry at Grandma's, visiting Great Oma, eating Chicken Parmesan and playing with Daddy. Saturday will be his Birthday Party with family. On the menu is Henry's favourite: Spaghetti.
