From 2009_07_19

It's ironic that the last video I posted was when Anna started walking, but I had to share this one of her latest moves...

Tyler is into making parades these days... here's a few shots to show you what he's up to

Happy 4th of July!

I hope you all had a great 4th of July weekend. We had a lot of fun up here. Despite the on and off rain.

I hope everyone had a nice Easter. We had a great day with Katie's family. The kids had a little egg hunt, got a few toys and a lot of candy. Anna has decided that she LOVES chocolate (surprise). She smiles and laughs the whole time she's eating it...and when it's all gone, she screams bloody murder.

Biodome

We took the kids to the Biodome today in Montreal. I can't really explain it if you haven't been there... like an indoor zoo I guess...without the cages. It was a fun day. The kids were good, especially Anna, who gave Katie a nice break and walked around herself a lot (as opposed to being carried everywhere). Tyler wasn't as excited as I thought he would be... he wanted to see trucks...but some of the animals got his attention.

Anna's walking!!

Well Anna finally decided to walk on her own today... it took a chocolate chip cookie in Katie's hand to get Anna to take the steps. She's been walking holding hands for a while, but wouldn't let go, and she finally did it at our friends' house today. She really good at it too, she wasn't falling at all, only when she decided she had enough. We're so proud of her!

Some videos

Tyler playing "Rudolph" on the harmonica (or so he says :-)

...he also sings



Here's Anna belly-aching about a blanket being tossed in her face:


And Tyler trying out his new skis? Is this still considered skiing???

No, the blog is not "broken", yes we're still alive, no I didn't lose my camera, yes Christmas was great, Tyler was so much fun, Anna is crawling around now, I've been working a ton and been busy with holidays and birthdays and work. Thank you everyone for all of the generous and amazing gifts. Tyler had his 3rd birthday party today at Green Mountain Gymnastics. I think all the kids had a ball, or was it a foam block? Sorry for the lack of pictures through the holidays. Here's a big one...

Here's a few pictures and a couple of videos. Anna refuses to crawl, but is walking behind a walker a little bit and when holding hands, so that's fun. We got our first "significant" snowfall on Friday night as well, only 6 inches or so (actually, I wouldn't know, Katie and Tyler shoveled, I stayed inside :-)

Smoked Gouda anyone???

This cheese factory borders our neighborhood, the big white tanks are full of milk, but I guess with all the smoke of who knows what burning, they evacuated our neighborhood to be safe. 11pm a fireman knocked on the door and told us we were being evacuated, so we loaded the kids into the car and went to Gail & Paul's for the night. Tyler was a little confused... "We're going to Nanny and Poppy's house"..."Oh, we haven't seen them in a while...that was a short nap...hey! It's really dark outside...Hey Daddy, did you see those fire-trucks over there? Where are we going? Can I have some goldfish?"
