Megan's New Bow

It seems wrong for a girl with as much beautiful hair as Megan to not have a few bows to wear in it! Today I was out and found an adorable little pink and brown poke-a-dot bow for her hair...I think she likes it too :)

The Wreath . . .

Scott won this wreath at his work Christmas party last week. Since there are 3 people on it - we thought it was very fitting!

Warm weather is coming tomorrow - we are very much looking forward to getting out of the deep freeze! And just in time, since Scott's brother and family arrive this Saturday - now we can actually leave the hose and do some fun activities with the kids!

Enjoy your week.

Cute Photos of Megan

We're received feedback that we haven't been updating the blog with Megan photos enough! We hear you loud and clear, so this entry is dedicated to cute pictures of our little girl. Enjoy!

Dad was late from work, so bath time was delayed and tired Megan needed some soother time!

Baby, it's cold outside....

Sunday Football with Dad and Mom taking me back to Jail...

(aka my crib - hence the pink jailbird stripes!)

Let it Snow . . .

Yesterday was our Friends & Family Christmas Party and wouldn't you know it -- Calgary was hit with a Blizzard on Friday and Saturday! Yes, I used the word blizzard and I think the photos will confirm it's worthy of use (plus - the weatherman used it too - not that they are even remotely right most of the time, but it sounds official!)

Despite the poor weather, which did improve by Saturday afternoon, we had 20 adults and 10 kids (5 of them were under the age of 6 months, the others were toddlers) at our party this year. Katie made gingerbread snowflakes for the toddlers to decorate - they loved the activity!

The adults just filled our bellies and had a great visit.

As you can see from above, even the airport wasn't much of an escape route! Calgary is expected to stay cold (-20 as the high) but no more snow is expected for the next few days.

Coming to visit us soon? Dress warm please! As for the rest of our weekend - we're staying inside!

The Negotiator

Scott was shortlisted for a Negotiator position at work this week and had his follow up interview yesterday...and I'm happy to tell you that he was successful and is now officially a Police Negotiator! He does have some training to complete in Ottawa before he's allowed to officially start up with the team, but the fact that he's now a part of the team has him pretty excited.

I figure he wanted this so bad because there are now two girls in the house and he'll need as much help as possible...especially since Megan already has him wrapped around her little finger!

Having first had experience with his negotiation skills I'm fairly confident he'll do a much better job than the police officer in the picture!

Congratulations Scott!!!

Boyd Bear Christmas Tree . . .

Our Christmas party for family and friends is next Saturday - so we thought we'd better get our tree up this weekend, since there's enough party planning stuff to do the rest of the week. And since it's our first Christmas in this house, we bought a new tree to fill the space. Our theme is Boyd's Bears. Our previous tree is too tiny and will have to find a new home.

Hope you enjoy your weekend!

Friends!

Megan got to hang out with some of her Pre-Natal Class friends the other night. We've spent time with 4 other couples from the class - mostly Katie has been meeting the moms and doing walks - but there seems to be some of the couples that we have lots in common with...Snowboarding anyone!!

Megan is the oldest of the group and the others range from days to weeks younger. Everyone got along fine! 2 Boys and 3 Girls = lots of fun!!
