Kelowna Trip May long weekend (vid)

Driving out to Kelowna in our new(ish) family truck and going camping for the first time! It sure is different camping with a baby... still fun... just well... harder!

It was so great to finally get out to Kelowna and see the Keki family.
Rya and Tristan didn't seem to interessted in eachother... but Rya is boring right now... can't really play with Tristan yet.
This was the best picture out of 11 shots. One would smile and the other would cry. Then when the other stopped crying and other one started up.
Good times. cute though!

When Rya gets older and find out about this post... she is not going to be happy with me... but until then... awe so cute. This was Rya's bath for our first camping trip. It worked perfectly... now if we could get a bin big enough for us... that would be nice.

Richard can't wait until Rya can ride on her own... I can wait.

Clapping May 17th (Vid)

Everything gets a good clap these days. We are so glad Rya seems to think everything deserves a clap.
We are off to Kelowna for the Longweekend. So glad to finally get a little camping and dirtbiking in... but even better we will be seeing Lindsay, Steve and Tristan (finally!!) Hope the weather holds out for us. Pictures and videos to follow...

Mother's Day 2006

Happy First Mother's Day to me... and all our moms out there... I think I am finally starting to understand the importance of having that special day... as the days go by somtimes it is hard to remember why it is worth all this work. One look from our little one and I get it. Not to mention that Rya can say "ma ma" now it makes every wake up call and slimey, snotty shoulder worth it.


The sun is finally shining here in rainy North Vancouver... it feels so good to finally get outside and play in the back yard. The back yard is full of great things to explore... We just have to remember to pick up all the dog poo before Rya starts crawling out there... yuck!
Notice Rya's little tooth! there is the beginings of another one right beside it now too.
(Notice also Richard's shaved head... "if you can't beat them join them" the hair isn't coming back.

The Magic Spoon (vid.)

She must be pretty smart to know that a spoon dancing around her tray is funny. Richard tried just with his finger and it wasn't funny.
