How to cook with a cranky boy who wants to be held

The day Canada won Gold in Hockey at the 2010 Olympics!

The future engineer

A nice cuddle on the couch...

Spring Break First Half

The T-shirt says it all.

He loves his Cheerios Pot and Mummy loves the 'non-spill' lid. The inventor should be Knighted.

And, he loves reading DK travel books.

Loves eating Bananas (and bread and that's about it)

These crayons are big, chunky, easy to write with and not easy to break. Brill! He loves drawing but we leave the painting to the childminders.

Oooooo.... Daddy's Valentine's chocolates!

Empty??

He slides the cars down the firetruck ramp. Says EEEEEE (as in Weee).... and then claps.

Tonight Christie and Jack are arriving so more photos to come.

Canadian Christmas

Well, Xander threw up for the first week and a half and was miserable. But after that, and between the vomit, we managed to have tons of fun. Here are some of our highlights.

What time is it? I'm so so jet legged.
Deer on the deck.

Is it a mess or a blessing? Not Where's Waldo / Wally, but Where's Xander?

Santa's Little Helper

Christmas Day Adventure. Xander loved being pulled in the sled; which was good as he couldn't really move in his starfish snowsuit.

Ahhhh...

Just missing Christie

Shooting down pop cans. Thanks Uncle Cody and Auntie Casey

The snow was how deep?? We walked down to the river from Mom's house. It was hard ploughing through the untouched snow but it was so beautiful.

Evidence of Beavers at the river


Skiing at Canada Olympic Park

Hitman Hockey Game. Thanks, Uncle Dan and Auntie Christine!

Tobogganing farmer style.

Dogsledding in Canmore (Thanks Mom and Jim!). It must have been -40 with windchill, but we got to mush, ride and more! Mushing was hard work but we loved EVERY minute of it.

First haircut... and it was by Grandma!
