February Photos

It's cold and windy here in St John's! Gusting up to 130 km/h, means there's not much we can do outside. But, we're doing okay. Here's some latest pictures.


John didn't like this pouch sling as a newborn.. but now that he can sit up in it (it's a pretty tight squeeze!) he enjoys it when he just wants to be close to mama. He's not quite in it right here but we had a chuckle...


Fluffy-haired freshly bathed little boy!


Saturday morning meeting. Rabbit is there too... can you see him? Bronwen organizes the meetings by gathering the chairs.



Wearing my old-man fleece PJs!



Horseplay on the couch!


Classic sad face.. poor little guy.



My name is Bronwen and I hate wearing hair clips. I prefer the grunge look. 




I can sit up by myself! (usually with a pillow behind.. just in case)

January wrap-up

Can't believe it's the last day of January! Here are some pictures from our month..

We got a lot of snow. Here is the jumbo snowblower making a huge cut to the drifts along the road.


The kidlets


Bronwen got a little chair and easel from our neighbour for her birthday. She quite enjoys it.


We had a birthday party for Brian. It drew quite the crowd! Here is Bronwen with her buddies... they just turned 5 and she loves to run around with them.


Happy birthday dear husband of mine!


This is his "it's my birthday and my wife made me a cake" face.



Went downtown for a walk.


Sometimes Bronwen hates the stroller.


Love me!


And me!


Oh Charlie, can we be friends forever...


It's been a bit of a long month especially this last week. The nights are loooong which makes the days long too. The kids have both been waking very, very frequently.... consequently we are running on very little sleep. Makes it hard to write a thesis or spend your day with a sometimes very strong willed toddler and a sensitive little guy! But we'll get through it... right? :)

Enjoy your weekends everyone! We recently acquired a waffle maker which makes Saturday morning breakfasts even more fun around here. Hurray for Saturday morning breakfast!

Merry Christmas!

Here are some pictures from our tree hunting adventure on Saturday. Due to Brian being away and the chilly weather, we didn't have a chance to get the tree until 4 days before Christmas. But we have been enjoying it very much ever since. :)

Here we are driving up snowy Mount Scio. This is less than 10 minutes from our house!



Bronwen figuring out how to walk in the deep snow. Our kids are lucky to inherit a series of red MEC snowsuits from their Prince George cousins.. thanks Krista! :)


Superdad cuts down the tree, then carries back heavy tree and heavy toddler through deep snow. The logistics of getting a tree with a baby and toddler are a bit tricky but we figured it out. :)


Investigating the new decor


Bronwen loves to take decorations on and off


Making pecan and butter tarts



Little guy likes the tree too!


And back to the tarts in the oven...



More pictures to come from our Christmas celebrations :)

Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ the newborn King!
