In memory of our dog, Calli (1995 – 2009)

      

                        WE MISS AND LOVE YOU, CALLI!

Graeme’s baptism

Here are a few photos from Graeme’s baptism on Oct. 18th.  His beautiful baptismal gown was made by Scott’s aunt Janice from Gabrielle’s wedding dress.  It was a terrific sunny day spent with family and friends! 

       

Apple picking

With the wild apple orchard out back, we try to see how many decent apples we can collect every year.  Although a little on the disappointing side, there were still some apples for Deavan to pick.  Ruby and Calli enjoyed searching and eating the ones on the ground, while Graeme stayed warm in the baby Bjorn with Gab.

 

Sleepy Baby…

Here are photos of Graeme getting his beauty sleep. He’s so darn cute, no wonder he sleeps so much!

He’s actually quite an alert little baby as he checks out the stripes in Deavan`s new room and gives Grandpa a once over.

Bath Time Fun

The boys enjoy bath time - one in the baby tub, the other in the big tub.  Also, Deavan shows us his pruning skills as the bathroom plant takes a beating.

 

One big happy family

We're all adjusting well and enjoying our time together.  Here are a few photos of the gang playing, hiking, and hanging out...

A wonderful birthday gift!

We've been enjoying the first week together at home as a family of four and settling in nicely.  Graeme's so happy he's even giving us smiles!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Put your hands together for Mr. Graeme William FitzGerald

We are thrilled to present Graeme William FitzGerald, who was welcomed into our lives at 8:49pm on Sunday, September 13th (his due date), weighing in at a healthy 9lbs 2oz (4139g), and maxing out the measuring tape (really!) at 23" (58 cm).

 

Graeme's first few days at home have gone smoothly and Deavan and Ruby have both taken an interest in the new addition - Calli, as usual, remains indifferent.

Lots of excursions

We've done a few fun excursions in the past couple of months.  Its impossible to share all the great photos, so here's a flavour of our trips to...

Toronto zoo (including the Big Apple and fun at the hotel):  

 

 

 

  A cottage we rented on Bass lake:

   

Picnic with ringette friends; a visit from his 2nd cousin, Ryder:

 

 

 

 

And a trip to Experimental Farm:

Clowning around...

Deavan loves to clown around especially when he's got an attentive audience.  I'm sure his little brother or sister will get a kick out of him.   

 

 

 

 

He's become quite the adept little eater (or food snatcher, as the case may be). 

 

 

 

 

We're preparing Deavan for a new "big boy" room and we'll share photos of those minor renos when we're done.
