We were so blessed to have henri/dwayne/angelina come and visit us. seems in some ways they never left but now that they are gone there is a hole. feels like someone missing.. :(

jayda and angelina being bratty!!!

so i went to st.albert with the kids and we had to wait for pics to be done. went into a jewlery store 'claires' and iris said she wanted earings. so went and got her ears pierced. she cried a little and we weren't sure if we were going to get the second one in but she held on to me and her reward was going on a little merry go round in the mall. she did pretty good. by the time we left the store she was done crying and merrily sucking her lollipop thinking she looked pretty. it was "the best day of her whole life!!" (that was the day we got the playcentre too)looks stinkin cute though.

gerry and jayda basking in the sun by the creek.

Big Busy Builder!! :)

Jayda gets a bit of air off this slide. had a few face plants already.

iris climbing the wall in her rubber boots.

iris took this pic of jayda and i. pretty good

and she took this one. jayda was hanging on to me for dear life.

climbing the 'rock wall'

trying out the swings. jayda is a little leery if she goes too high
