Little Canadian...

Cody went on his first Kindergarten field trip today! David was able to tag along as a volunteer, so of course I sent the camera. He said Cody loved it and was all smiles. We'll have to take him regularly, now that we know he loves it AND it's a great way to use up some of his never-ending energy. Go Cody! A true Canadian, eh?

True Friends...

Every year for as long as I can remember, it has been TRADITION to have our New Years Eve party at the Wilders. Of course this was in California and we now live in Canada. I have really been missing my friends.... even more than I thought I would. But New Years was especially lonely this year, because we knew all our friends were together and we knew what we were missing. David and I sulked and felt quite sorry for ourselves for a good part of the evening, then decided to watch a movie and enjoy a bottle of wine together. Just as our movie began, the phone rang and I heard my friends on the phone. All of them! It just made my night. Then my friend Erin photo-shopped me into the picture of "the girls" at the party. She did quite well, eh?

I miss you my wonderful friends! You have no idea how much....

So Proud!

Kiley's first picture of her "family." Large circles for heads with spots for eyes and two legs growing out of the heads. And I've never been more proud! She tells us this picture is of mommy, daddy, Kiley and her "sister." I guess she's wanting a sister? :)

My Baby Heart Attack

For those of you who watch LOST, you'll understand why we call Caedon our "baby John Locke." We've decided that if they paid us enough $, we may even agree to cast him on LOST if they ever need an infant version of John Locke. He is John Locke's mini-me.

He is also our little monkey. Every time I turn around, he is on top of a table, a couch, a wobbly toy... He never stops!

The pictures are the proof!

On top of the futon... the very top... walking across it like it's a balancing act in the circus

This is the most typical Caedon spot- standing in the middle of the train table. I think he has better access to all the trains and tracks.

And he always sports the biggest smile- so it's hard not to laugh when telling him "no."

At "Our" Pool!

Christmas "break" is here! Many of our Munchkin Academy families are away for Christmas and New Years and we are fortunate to have a very "light" workload between Christmas and New Years... Yesterday was just us (with no Munchkin Academy friends), so we enjoyed the day at "our" pool!

Cody is our little fish. He is so comfortable in and around the water and is a pro doggy-paddler now!

Kiley takes a bit more "warming up" in the water. We're hoping to get her into swimming lessons to help her feel more comfortable.

Caedon really enjoys the water too! He even tries to swim in the tub.

Cody in the river. He loves this!

All smiles!

Practicing "floating"

Kiley prefers playing in the baby pool with all the toys...

Look at my little fish!

And MORE Christmas...

And for a few more pics from our 3 days of Christmas!!! Boxing day and the 28th were two more Christmases... my dad made two more wonderful feasts, his side of the family came over, birthdays were celebrated, games were played, more gifts were opened....
These gatherings all took place at our house so we could put the kids to bed and keep partying, and we have lots of room to accommodate!

Kiley asked me to take some pictures of her in her Christmas dress! This is actually her dress from last Christmas, but it fit perfectly this year.

I LOVE this one!

And one with Cody...

And the last one.... in front of the tree. Isn't she just precious?

The kids & daddy playing in the snow

Family get-together (my dad's side)

Uncle Vernon, my cousin Richard and their very cool piano cake that Jodi made

Eating.... again!

Christmas @ the Eagletons

We were so blessed & SPOILED this Christmas! The highlight was having my family so close and spending three days straight with them. Of course there are oodles of pictures...
