First Warm Day

Last Sunday was a gorgeous sunny day. We spent all afternoon outside (except Kate who slept the whole time).

Kate's First Ice Cream Cone

This is exciting!

Big bite

That's cold!

How does it feel?

Oops, I broke it in half.

Better put it back together.

Forget it. I'll just tear the whole thing apart.

Andrew's 3rd Birthday

Andrew turned 3 on the 1st of April. Our friends from Aberdeen came up for the weekend to celebrate with us.

The party





Andrew got a new bike and helmet. He has wanted to wear his helmet all the time since then.

Gigi sent Andrew a card that plays the chicken dance music whenever you open it. So...


Great Grandma Maston sent Andrew a Toy Story card that plays music. Here is a video of him opening it.

Kate's First Birthday

I am extremely behind on posts. So here is my attempt at catching up.

Kate had three birthday parties when she turned one. I'm glad her grandparents got to celebrate with her.
Party with Erin's parents




Party with Jason's parents


Party in Scotland



Kate has been walking confidently on her own since the end of January.

Future Rock Star

Here is our rock star in the making. He watches two shows that have musicians playing guitars. He loves to act like them.

I don't know if you can hear it, but the guitar plays "Wild Thing" when you play it. It is quite humorous listening to Wild Thing while he is singing "Twinkle, Twinkle."

Christmas (two new posts)

Our Christmas holiday started at Jason's parents' house but I don't have those photos, so I'll start with my parents' house. Sorry, these pictures are in random order.

Kate in her Christmas dress.

Yes, she is standing in a chair. She climbs on everything and has no fear!

She was mad about something.

Kate is walking!

Kate has been on her feet walking around furniture for a few months. In the last week she has figured out her balance and has started taking a few steps on her own. She took 7 steps the other day and 17 steps yesterday!

We have a climber!

Kate is moving everywhere and she has no fear! Her latest thing is climbing. I'm amazed at how good she climbs for 9 months old.

Here is our blockade to keep her from climbing on the fire place.

This was her first big fall. Poor baby!



Here she is in action. A and E, we will be visiting you before long! (Accident and Emergency)
