J24 Welcomes Finley

Shortly after our party festivities we welcomed our new baby girl, Finley Willa. 3.64kg (8lbs), 55cm (21.5").

 

Summer Time and Neva Turns 3!

We have had a great time so far this summer. Although many people have complained about the temperature, I have LOVED being able to get out and enjoy another Canadian summer (for my overseas friends, Calgary heat has been around 25 degrees Celsius). The temperature has been perfect for afternoons at the splash park, zoo visits, lots of playtime at parks, and other fun adventures. 

A highlight for us was to experience the Stampede with Neva. We visited a few pancake breakfasts and Neva got to experience another pony ride. That was a big hit. 

We had a great time at the grounds, meeting up with friends, visiting the barns, and the oh so yummy Stampede food. Bruce and Neva had fun on some of the kiddie rides at the Stampede. I had a good chuckle at seeing Bruce and Eric cram themselves into the little cars with the kids. 

Of course another big highlight was NEVA TURNING 3! Thanks to all of your well wishes and Happy Birthday emails.  Nanny, Neva and I went out for dinner the night before her birthday. At this establishment the moose helmet is a birthday tradition.  - apologies the movie is a large file, I may or may not get around to changing it... ;) 

The party! 

Big Event

Do I have pictures of the house? Of course not. :)
But I DO have pictures of our first trip to the emergency department. Neva fell while playing in the park and managed to get a piece of gravel in her forehead. Thankfully there was no major head injury and her teeth were all intact, but we ended up spending almost 5 hours in emergency for some stitches.


In the waiting room.

The stitched up forehead. Looks a little nasty but it turned out okay. We have gone through a lot of Dora bandaids...
