This is Kaeleb's first day of pre-school, he was very excited and proud! It took 3 shirts before he went back to his original (and favourite) choice. He took off playing without even saying goodbye so I had to call him back for a kiss. When I picked him up he asked when he was going back! I think he's really going to enjoy school.
Daelin's favourite shirt, sent from Annett all the way from Sweden!

Kaeleb got a little floatie toy in a kinder egg one evening while we were out. When we got home he asked if he could play with it in the bathtub. It was 8:00 on a school night so I said it was too late, but if he wanted, I'd put some water in the bathroom sink and he could play with it there... this isn't quite what I had in mind! :-)

We recently had a reunion of "the old gang" at Springwater Park. It was great to see everyone and meet their children. Daelin and Kaeleb made fast friends with my good friend Kyla's daugher Kloe. Her husband Dennis was keeping close tabs on them all day :-)
Daelin & Kloe quickly became "an item"
The "wilson sisters" reunited!

I WANT YOU! DUDE!

Here are some shots from the Toronto Zoo - above an eyelash viper
The lions put on quite a show this year, we could hear them before we could see them!
Daelin hatching...

We had a great day at the Toronto Zoo and thoroughly enjoyed their very cool Dinosaur exhibit!

Daelin saw this Pikachu costume at Toys R Us and we knew right away what he would be for halloween..
After pit stops at about 4 different stores we found a "dirt bike dude" for Kaeleb which is soooo appropriate for him!
and so this is what they'll look like on the big night!

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth...

Here's Daelin on his first day of GRADE 1!

A camping trip would not be complete without roasting marshmallows!
and SD&G would not be complete without a trip to Prehistoric World!
The four muskateers - Kaeleb, Daelin, Tamara & Joseph

We had to visit Upper Canada Village again this year since we enjoyed it so much last year! This is a picture of what the pioneers used to do when they caught someone stealing pumpkins!
Daelin took this picture of my mom and I

Our trip ended with a wonderful trip out on the waters near Cobourg Ontario. A very good friend of my dad's (Ralph Curtis) took us out on his boat. Daelin got quite green so we had to cut our trip a bit short but it was great and we look forward to meeting up with them again next year!
Here is the lovely boat we got to take a ride on.

Daelin's New Look!

I recently enjoyed reuniting with some old friends at Fitzy's Crabshack this past summer. Tim's band was playing and Kyla and I had recently got back in touch via Facebook. We hadn't seen each other in close to 20 years! It was an amazing night and now we're all catching up on the years that have passed.

This is one of my favourite Wasaga Beach photos of 2007.

I have it saved so I can use it as wallpaper in February!

This was my first year attending the "chicks in charge" weekend getaway what a blast! Can't wait for next year. Above is our organizer Heather :0)
We went for a little hike on Saturday afternoon.

Richard taking a day's rest!

Kaeleb hasn't made it through a day at the beach yet without a nap!
Richard & Daelin spent the whole day snorkelling, they are showing off their mask hair!
Kaeleb is still groggy after his nap.
Here is our little piece of waterfront paradise...

Richard took the boys for a walk and brought my camera...
