Camping, again...

Well we attempted the camping again this weekend – we did get rain, but managed quite a few hours of sun as well – finally!

We were back out at Glennifer Lake, spending time with the Pinels and Craigs.

Finally a smile for the camera!

Yummy!

Welcome Summer!

Finally summer had officially arrived! Does that mean it will actually feel like summer here in Calgary?

Yesterday I was shopping and I picked up a few things that define summer to me - I just had to try the Bikini on Jackie!


Normally we get rain or even snow on the first day of summer - but today it is suppose to be +26 in Calgary, so we had to dress for the weather.

Honest she has great smiles - but getting them on camera is not always easy.

Jackie - 3 months old

Well our little girl is now past the 3 month mark. I weighed her the other day she is 13 pounds 1 ounce.

She has a great smile and an even better giggle.

Camping

To whoever is doing the rain dance every time we go camping…. Please stop!

Last year we camped at least 10 times, not once did it rain – so far we have camped 3 times this year – and it has rained all 3 times and snowed once! We love to camp, but camping with a small baby in the rain presents a few more challenges and also confines us to the trailer a lot more than we want.

This past weekend we took Jackie to the lake (Glennifer) but due to the massive amounts of rain – it rained almost the whole time, we did not get a chance to show her very much. We are very much hoping for better weather the next time we head out.

Brutis spend quite a bit of time being wet this weekend, but this picture was taken when we wanted him to stay dry, he is on the top of the couch watching all his doggie friends play outside while we make him stay in - we are such mean parents.

Father's Day

For Adam’s first Father’s Day we headed out to the lake. Our close friends Cam and Tara’s family own an acreage out at Glennifer Lake. We have spent many weekends out there over the past years, and Adam wanted to spend his Father’s Day there with friends.

Tara and I went together and bought our husbands a pair of water skis to share, but since this is Alberta and summer does not start until the middle of July, there was no water skiing this weekend.

Adam's first picture as a Dad!

We are getting a School!

Announced yesterday, Bridlewood is getting a K-6 public school! We are very excited, this means Jackie will not have to take the bus every day to get to school. I know she is only 3 months old - but the school will not be completed right away - but it is suppose to be done before she starts kindergarten.

I am not sure where in the community it will be located (Adam and I are hoping for a nice big open field that is less than a 5 minute walk from our house).

For those of you that live in Calgary, therefore know the areas - if this school was not built Jackie would have to be bussed to an Elementary school in Woodbine or Midnapore.

Before Wives & Kids!

Adam, Pieter, Cam and Cory

Cam sent me this photo - I am not sure exactly when it was taken - but it was before I met Adam - so more than 4 years ago. Everyone looks so young and skinny - and Adam has hair!

Jackie

Our growing little girl Jacki: she is now able to hold her head up and enjoys sitting in Mom or Dad arms. She really enjoys the TV but she does not seem to mind what she watches.

She is quite the little mover - loves to lay on her back kicking and wiggling. We are having a great time getting to know our little girl - she knows us - both Mom and Dad get lots of smiles - sometimes we are lucky and get giggles too. And she is not she - she will smile for just about everyone.



Trying to get those legs and arms to help her flip over - we still have a ways to go.
