18 months

Ryan is now over a year and a half old. I did try to take pictures on the 19th, but got no smiles (I had to add the others to get some).

After 6 months of being in the red, he is now back on track as far as weight goes. So he is now on the 50th percentile for weight and for height (he went down for height). Thank you Granny !

Because he still can't say a word, when at that age they usually know 50, we'll have to go back in 6 months to check. We thought we would help him by reading books and start with animal sounds (both his cousins who were born the same year can do them all very well.) I feel so silly doing that, I can't wait to go to the zoo in June where it will actually make sense!

Anyway, Keld started with the lion sound, of course, a big roar. Last Sunday, for a ward conference in Sault Sainte Marie (where no one knew us, we were there for the first time) I had brought some books to try and keep him quiet (Ryan, now that Keld is on the stand, he is quiet). As soon as I opened one of the big books, he started roaring...there wasn't even a lion or a tiger on the page...and so his siblings started laughing! It's probably more reverent if he doesn't learn to speak...


Ryan has met new people but his best friend still is Rocky, by far.

His siblings probably come next.

Happy Easter !

We had a good long week-end.
Thursday, we had a pizza party and an Easter egg hunt at Special and Grandpa Bruce's.

Saturday was the Easter dinner.

Sunday we had our egg hunt with clues.

And Monday we had our traditional Easter nest. There were no chicks left at the stores so I ended up with a very small one...

And I forgot, the kids also decorated lots of eggs..

Zack's Baptism

Zack and his cousin Bruce were baptized last Saturday, April 13th 2019.

Zack had invited a couple of friends. One of them came with his dad and grandpa.

I think Zack was happy.

We were very happy too and, like Uncle Jeff said, we hope he is now on his way to build the beautiful life Heavenly Father has in store for him.

PS: Thank you Auntie Becca for the nice pictures.

Happy Birthday Ted !

Ted turned 4 last week. It was a red birthday party.

Since the camera died, I have tried to take pictures with a phone but it's not working well for me. So for this party, I asked Keld to take the pictures and the video but it looks like he didn't do much better for the video..Anyway, thanks for the party Ted !

Happy Birthday Zack !

Zack is now 8 years old. We had decided to celebrate on Friday, so Friday morning, Keld made him a pancake breakfast.

For supper, we met with the family at the church for Chinese food.

Zack wanted us to hide his gifts. He found them all!

You're not allowed to blow candles at church. We did try to do it outside but the wind was too strong, so today, his actual birthday, we had to do it again..for breakfast and supper !

Happy Birthday Zack !!
