Fashion Show!

We are less than a week away from our trip! And after mommy and Megan got back from skating on the lake today, they put on a fashion show for daddy - which served as a nice break from his homework!

Here she is showing off her sitting-skills...with and without hat! This is a great photo to see how long her hair is getting too.

Here she is in a cute dress from Lou and a great ensemble from Jessie (thank you ladies!)

Tomorrow is daddy-daughter day, as Katie has a baby shower for a friend. Scott is bound to document his day as the proud father, so check back for those adventures too.

Enjoy the weekend!

Best Friends Forever!

Megan and her cousin Sierra visited this week. They love hanging out with each other and having their little 'chats' are they grow up together! Being only 3 months apart, we soon won't be able to know who's older as they both continue to grow so quickly!

Megan is 4 month's old tomorrow and has her check-up and vaccinations. We'll be sure to post an update on her height/weight, etc.

Holiday Hat!

Grandma and Grandpa Lee came over for dinner and a visit tonight (they brought dessert - lemon pie!) And as our little girl was sitting around in her flannel pajamas, we thought it would be a good time to have a holiday hat fashion show!!

This is one of the options she'll be wearing while we are away. We're very pleased that it doesn't seem to bother her - no tugging at it, screaming or otherwise! Let's hope the same is true when we actually get there.

It fits her head well, but it's so massive - which is good it will offer this little red head lots of shade. She played a little shy for G&G tonight, but she'd better get over that quickly!

Cold and snow this week - but our countdown is on, so the warm thoughts will have to get us through...

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Sporty Megan!

Someone is ready for her workout with mommy!

When she got this outfit at Christmas - it looked way too huge for her. But one short month later, she's wearing it in style!

Megan is learning to roll - she's mastered the legs in air, scissor-kick and on-to-my side part. But she just isn't ready to go all the way over.

She remains very talkative (except for when we're trying to get her to talk for Nana & Baba on the phone!) She really seems to like the high-pitched version of her voice right now. Mommy thinks it's funny for 5 minutes - not all day! But very cute nonetheless.

Busy with school, work & getting ready for our trip!

Oh Brother!

Grant is visiting right now -- we've really enjoyed our couple of days with him. Today we made the most of a beautiful day (+6) and went to the lake for some fun on the ice! We've never seen ice so clear before! It really was amazing - it was so thick too. We did a couple of spins on the man-made surface near the club house and then went down to the lake for the real winter experience.

This is us on the ice surface just outside the clubhouse.

And here we are on the lake - we only saw one other person skating today and two people ice fishing in the centre of the lake. Megan slept for the entire trip(s) around the lake, so we were able to make 3 loops!

The lake also has 3 hockey rinks (2 with lights) and a lighted skating area, for those who don't want to make trips around the lake at night...our next adventure will have to include some night skating for sure!

First 2010 Blog

We're getting back into our routines after some great Christmas holidays - sorry for the lack of a blog so far in 2010 - but Happy New Year! Scott's back at work and school after the Christmas Break...trying to stay focused for his final class in his Masters Program and then he'll be working on his final project/thesis and will be done in early May 2010!!

Katie has been sick this past week with a head-cold, but is really enjoying being a mom and all the adventures that come with it! Some of those adventures are experiencing Megan's "firsts" -- this week she has thrilled us with her laugh. We've only heard it three times, but we're sure more is on the way considering how much she loves to smile!

Here's a few recent photos as she continues to grow and entertain us.

Megan: Looking long and lean! And trying out her Bumbo and liking being able to sit by herself.

Wrapped-up in her blanket & chilling with her new friend lamb chops!

Grant (Scott's Brother) will be with us this weekend. He was nominated for a National Award with his work (yeah!) and all the regional nominees are meeting in Canmore next week to be recognized - so he's coming early to Calgary for a few days - looking forward to it! Enjoy the rest of your week.
