Self-admiration or self-awareness?

Joshua loves to look in the mirror. It makes him laugh every time, even a reflection from a vehicle window or glass will attract his attention. Is he admiring his reflection or just noticing what he looks like.










Gets him out of a bad mood every time and it makes us laugh.

another small milestone

Well, today Joshua decided he could get up from the crawling position to sitting up. Next he'll be walking.

Another birthday

On Saturday we had another birthday this one for Vince's dad. It was a surprise (and he actually was). Agnes invited his brothers and sisters of which only 7 showed up, 4 were missing (12 siblings in total). It was a good thing they got together since most of the boys were very behind in each other's lives by about 3 years. Sad really...

Happy 65th birthday Dad!

Happy Birthday Jenny!

Thursday was Jenny's (my niece) 8th birthday! Happy birthday Jenny!




We celebrated at Applebee's (her fav)








Poor Jenny had to light her own candles and cut her own cake.

Outing

In my opinion, Birds Hill Park is the nicest park in Southern Manitoba... well around Winnipeg anyways. Auntie Maggie thought we needed to take the boys on a trip to Pine Ridge Hollow (beside Birds Hill Park) for lunch one day. So we did, and we had fun.


Lunch was good.
