Look who's TWO!

Hard to believe Deavan is two years old already or as he would say it:  DEUX! He and Kate decorated gingerbread men (well, he just ate the candies!); we played some band music; ate some Tractor cake (thanks Ren and Mary Lou); and played with his train set (thanks Jen and Kate).  Even Graeme gets into the fun with his party hat on! Thanks to all for the cards, gifts and best wishes.

Playtime

Lots on the go with pictures of Deavan using (and probably eating!) playdoh; him (Elmo) at the play place with Anna, Amanda and Adam (or AnnAmandAdam); taking a walk with A. Casey and grandma; and hammering and helping Dad take apart the couch.  Graeme is all smiles on the couch and using his activity mat – look closely as Deavan watches from outside to make sure he's ok – tee hee!

Good times, good times!

Our boys and our dog, Ruby

We're enjoying the warmer than usual November outside and getting Deavan to help us with some yard work, while Graeme stays inside smiling away…

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.20091013-graeme-029 20091008-deavans.stripes-00720091011-graeme.dennis-022

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.
