Water Fun




 Every single day, Kellen is outside playing in the water.  Here he is trying to make rainbows with the hose.

Sarah is not too sure about touching the grass.  She likes to touch it, then she wants off.  Here she is with Daddy trying out this whole grass thing.
 "Let me smell this green stuff"
 This is Sarah's investigative face.
 This is Sarah being super cute at the pool.
 Kellen and Caden had a blast playing in the splash pad and wading pools.  
 I love Sarah's face in this picture - she was having lots of fun putting her little feet in the water with Daddy.
 Check out her cute bathing suit!  (and rolls!)
 Kellen had a blast playing in the splash pad!

 Woo Hoo!!!


 Sunbathing.

Bumbo Chair

 Beautiful, smiling baby.  Sarah is such a happy baby - even if she is crying, if you pick her up, she immediately starts to smile.  What a cutie!
 Sarah has been sitting in her Bumbo chair for the past two weeks....she is getting really good at sitting up in it!  Here she is on the first day in her new chair - and trying to get Kellen's attention.
 Watching television.
 My babies.


The Protective Big Brother

 Kellen is very protective over Sarah.  He is always watching her to make sure that she is safe.  If she starts to lean too much in her chairs, he tells us right away so that we can fix it.   He loves to watch her in her swing (and bring her lots of stuffed animals!).

Two weeks ago, Sarah had a rash that the doctors didn't like.  She was sent to the hospital and to a specialist - they don't believe it is anything bad at this point - thank goodness.  However, when they told us that she needed to go to the hospital, Kellen went very quiet.  He went to stand beside Sarah and held her hand, and said "you have to go to the hospital now, Sarah" and began to cry.  It broke my heart.  


Father's Day in Brockville - Remembering Grandpa

 Over Father's Day weekend, we all traveled to Brockville to remember Grandpa.  Grandpa's gravestone (headstone) had been placed, so the entire family went to the cemetery to place flowers, and to tell Grandpa that we are always thinking of him.

Here are Lita and Sarah hanging out on the deck.  Right after I took these pictures, Sarah started sucking on Lita's arm - it was pretty funny.

 At the cemetery - Lita brought some of Grandpa's stuff, like his cane, his favourite shoes, and some pictures.  It was a beautiful day to celebrate a beautiful man.

Here are Nathalie and Sarah hanging out together.
Nana and Lita taking a moment to look at Grandpa's gravestone and pictures.  We miss him so much.
  
Lita, Auntie April, and I, all spoke about Grandpa - it is hard to believe it has been 6 months since we lost Grandpa.

Mackensie and Sarah - I love this picture!

Random Pictures

 Kellen and Sarah before their baths....they like to hang out on our bed while we get the bathtubs ready!

Sarah in her swing....I am not too sure if she likes it yet, but she is pretty mellow when we put her in the swing.
 Zonked right out on Daddy.
 Sitting on the counter playing with a bunch of plastic bags....she loved the crinkling noise they made when she touched them.

Father's Day for Daddy

 Kellen loves to do arts and crafts - we have two bins of different supplies that we like to pull out every now and then.  Here he is making Daddy a Father's Day card.....the glittery-goo pens are pretty hard to squeeze - check out his face while squeezing!
 ....and just squish the glitter around with your hand.....
 ....and Voila!!!
Super proud to give Daddy his Father's Day card and gift.
 


 Kellen decorated a margarine container for Daddy - it is for Daddy to put all of his coins in!

 Daddy and his little boy.
 ...and Daddy and his baby girl.....Happy Father's Day!

Sarah's Got her First Tooth!

Just a quick update - Sarah saw the doctor today...she weighs 16.5 pounds and is 25.5 inches long!  (and she is only 3.5 months).  But, she also finally cut her first tooth!  Her bottom right tooth came in - it must have come in last night because yesterday it wasn't there!  Crazy to believe that she is only 3.5 months old and already has a tooth!

Also, our doctor thinks that Sarah might be the biggest baby she has ever seen!  She is pretty excited to see her again in two weeks for her 4 month check up to see how big she will be!
