We just got back from a weekend in Whistler. It was a first time experience for myself, David and Angeline. We all had a very nice time despite being woken up at 5am by MR. D. There was lots of walking and fresh air so we are exausted but I just wanted to say that we are back and to post a few of our pictures and a video of David Sleeding. Thanks Dad and Mom for the amazing Christmas gift of many fun memories made.

January

January is usually my least favorite month but this year it hasn't been so bad. Earlier this week I took the kids out in the yard because it was so nice outside. David is loving his sister more and more all the time. He likes to pick her up, and likes the fact that he is able to move he away from his toys when he has to... but is generally pretty good at sharing.

Being Silly

Oh Canada

Merry Christmas!

9 months old, December 14

She can cry again!

Just wanted to give a quick update on Angeline. She is now 100% better from her cold and her voice returned Tuesday night. She was so happy to hear herself again that she babbled on and on as I was trying to get her to sleep... it was really cute. She had her 9 month check up today and now weighs 15 lbs 2 oz. Her newest thing is sticking out her tongue.

I guess it was ppor timing that Angeline got her voice back Tuesday night because yesterday Jonathan and I went to the hockey game and she cried for 1.5 hours before falling asleep. She is definately mommy's girl right now. But it was really nice to have a night out with Jonathan so thank you Grandma,Grammy, Jared and Katherine for putting up with the screaming.

9 Months Old

Angeline is 9 months old and I can't believe that her 1st Birthday is coming fast. This last month she has switched from an "army" crawl to crawling on her hands and knee's. She goes from sitting to crawling and crawling to sitting and just recently she has started pulling herself up onto and cruising furniture. She's messy when she eats and she's loud (except of coarse when she looses her voice). She waves hi, bye, and night-night.... claps her hands and says mom, dada and hi. She also says Ajah! (sp?) which means "come here" in Punjabi. She is a very loving and animated little girl. We are loving her and looking forward to her first steps and to when her hair is long enough to have a pony tail. Happy 9 month birthday Angel!

Christmasing...

On Saturday we got our Christmas tree. My mom was here for the weekend and we went to Jonathan's works kids Christmas Party. We got to take David skating for the first time (he has been going on Mondays with Grandpa Rob). Angeline wore her pretty Christmas dress from Uncle Ryan (H) and Aunty Nadia. And we celebrated December Birthday at mom and dad's.

Trying to Cry

We noticed on the drive home on Sunday that Angeline had a bit of a cough. Took her to the doctor's on Tuesday to make sure she was okay and her lungs were good and she doesn't have an ear infection... just a bad cold. Here she is this morning with no voice. She is getting better I think... she slept much better last night and her nose isn't as runny.

Happy Birthday Jonathan!

Today is Jonathan's Birthday and he has to work but right now he prefers going to work at the store to staying home because there is much more work to do at our house. Last night we stayed up late painting downstairs so it was nice to get that off to a start but we didn't sleep much even when we did get to bed because Angeline has a cold and was very unsettled through the night. Life continues to be very busy and we are all looking forward to a SLOW January.

Happy Birthday Love, thanks for all your hard work. You are the BEST husband and a pretty good Dad to the kids too.
