November

Another month gone by, now its December and we have a lot going on. Our trip to Thunder Bay to visit John's sister and her family, Owen's 2nd Birthday and of course Christmas!

Our baby, due May 23rd, 2013. We are very excited and feel very blessed to once again be expecting a child. I am reminded of the miracle of being pregnant and reading about what our little one is doing in the womb!

A few weeks ago we went to our Santa Clause Parade in town,
Owen loved all the different lights and music.

 Owen's first time skating! Every Wednesday afternoon I go to the local arena for the free Mom and Tot skate, along with my friend Rebecca and her two kids. In this picture Owen is getting brave and standing up on his own! (it was hard to get a good picture of him on skates since I did have to hold him up the whole time :).

November 24- Owen watching our first snowfall of the year!

 

I babysat my niece Anna for a day this week- she is a year older than Owen but they played well together. We made Christmas tree ornaments (see below) and painted them and they also painted a few other pictures. (they are wearing my old paint t-shirts- that paint isn't from them :) I've painted with Owen in the past but he was never that interested but now every day he asks to paint and he carries around his pictures.

Anna's ornaments, Owen has one star that he puts on and off the tree. It keeps him from touching the other ornaments so it was a great idea! They were so proud of their ornaments so I think it will become a yearly tradition of making them!

Saturday ritual, outside playing- Owen and his Papa.
