More pictures...

Wow there are a LOT of pictures still to do...

Elisabeth being all snuggly and cute...doesn't happen as often as I'd like (the snuggly part, she's always cute!)



The long ride home...that's our house, straight up the hill ;)

In our basement we have this little room in between outside and the garage. A lot of people use it as a mudroom. I'm using it as a play room. Here my three helpers are putting together a table and chairs for art projects, reading, schoolwork...













On the first Saturday we had the Abelmans over for a visit. Here's Mayah enjoying the tunnel.



And on Sunday we headed out to Langley for a birthday party at my mum's house. Davey's surveying his old yard.





While the birthday girl slept, Davey helped me make pizzas. We make our dough in the bread machine and then add toppings. My favorite currently is BBQ Chicken pizza with pineapple. YUM!

Making a pint sized pizza for himself and Tink.



Hey Grossmeuti - Look, another generation of Hahlens wearing the aprons you made us!

All three boys got roped into working. Andrew must have been out shopping still.

And the birthday girl is awake!

Notice she has one hand in the cake, stealing blueberries!!















I tried on three separate occasions to get a good birthday picture of Elisabeth.

Just not happening. Maybe I'll try again this week.

Andrew got sent to Texas for El's birthday. So we had our own little mini party without him.

"look mum, I'm a kangaroo!"

Turning Elisabeth into a robot. She loves it, can you tell?



I measured the kids for Tink's birthday. She's 32.5 inches tall, he's about 8 inches taller.

One of the walking trails near our house. This one peeks out onto what will be a treed field and a stream.


Another little play spot on one of our walks. There aren't any playgrounds on our side of the hill yet, but I hope to work the kids (well Elisabeth) up to staying in the stroller long enough to walk to the park. Right now she lasts about 45 minutes, then she wants to be carried. OUCH!






















HOLEY MOLEY, doesn't she look like her mamma here!?!?




Drinking the water, then choking on it ;)
