Yes, we're still alive!


Winter has arrived! We are in a snow, melt, and then snow some more cycle. Here's a picture of the backyard around sunrise. The snow was sitting on everything, including the bird feeder.

We are still around and keeping busy these days. Here are a few highlights of the last few months.


On Christmas Eve Day, we went skating with some of Jay's family, and then had a pizza party at our house - lots of people, lots of pizza! Owen skated with Jay, but he didn't really enjoy it. That will come, we hope. Zach skated on his boots, and enjoyed that just fine.

The boys enjoyed some extra Dad-time, since Jay had some holidays around Christmas.




Santa also made a visit one night while we were in bed. The boys had been wondering how he would know where we lived. They thought maybe their presents would end up at the old house and Uncle Ian would have to bring them over. We assured him that Daddy had emailed Santa that we'd moved. Then they wondered how he would get in the house since we don't have a chimney.



The morning after he came, we told the boys to go check under the tree. We heard Owen say "What? He did get in!" They couldn't figure out how, but after they saw some presents, they didn't really care how he got in. The boys enjoyed their gifts (which included these puzzles), and couldn't wait for Noah to get up so he could open, I mean they could open his gifts. Noah was thrilled with them, can't you tell?



Noah is still quite a content little guy, and is settling into a nice routine. He is willing to smile for anyone that gives him attention. His latest weigh-in put him over 13 lbs, so we're not at all worried that he's suffering. He's sleeping quite long nights, but still needs/wants a feed in the middle of the night at times.


He is surviving his brothers; yes, they have learned to be gentle. What a bunch of trouble!


Enjoy! Talk to you later...Linda



PS - I almost forgot - Happy Hockey Day in Canada. The Leafs are winning 1-0 right now.
