It's somebody important's birthday....

Happy Birthday DAD / GRANDAD! We love you. (Addie was asleep.)

Jack's Easter Program

Jack had an Easter program at pre-school on Maundy Thursday. It was an excellent program. It was, however, hard to get good clips so I asked Jack to sing his two favourite songs at home so that we could share them with you all. Here they are:

Note: The line that says 'T the shape of calorie' is suppose to be 'T the shape of Calvary'. We are still working on that line!

2nd Note: Yes, Jack has a nasty black eye which you can see in this video. We are not really sure how he got it since neither Charles or I saw the event. From his narrative, he fell by the clothes basket (which is plastic!). He looks really tough though.

The Little Pooper That Could

Ed Note: If you don't like talking or reading about poop then you may not want to read this blog entry (and you may not want to raise a four-year-old boy!).

Here is an interchange between Charles and Jack last Saturday while on the way to the Colin Buchanan Concert. Jack said he needed to go pee so Charles pulled over at a service station for Jack to go to the bathroom.

Charles: Come on Jack. Do your business.
Jack: I think I can.

Pause

Jack: I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.

Moment of silence and a plop.

Jack: I am the little pooper that could.
Charles (laughing): Jack that is really funny, but you should only say things like this when you are with Daddy because other people would think this was rude.

Later the next day....

Charles and Jack find themselves in the bathroom at the same time again

Jack (after doing his business): I am the little pooper that could. It's okay that I say that because it is only you and me, right Dad?

Happy Six Weeks Addie

Addie turned six weeks yesterday. I always find six weeks a big milestone - for the baby and for the mommy. After having a c-section, almost everything is restricted for up to six weeks. So as of yesterday, I have free reign over most things now which is fun and a bit daunting. This milestone always makes me a bit emotional because it means I have no excuses anymore for being lazy! Here are some pictures from yesterday.

After breakfast Theo wanted to play with Addie, here is how he plays with her:

Happy One Month Adelaide

Today Addie is four weeks old, and because she was born in February one month old. It has been a somewhat rough but good first month - God-willing we look forward to many many more months. I took some pictures and a video today to record this special day.
