Ashlie and her pinwheel.  

Jadey on her motorbike. 

Thinkin' outside the box.  

Can I get a big boy bike mamma?? 

Katt wanted some pictures of Jadey so I offered to bring my camera along when I watched her this afternoon. She is SO hard to catch because she's so incredibly fast. But here are a few of my favorites... 

 

After days of practicing, Davey has finally taught himself to put daddy's slippers on (one on each foot), walk in them, and even reach for his soosie! the power of persistence kids. 

This weekend was glorious. Unfortunately, Andrew's cold got worse so he wasn't much up for anything. But these pictures were taken while Davey and I waited for Dad to be done at the doctors. Yesterday, Davey and I went for a LONG ramble on the nature trails. I think Davey probably walked for at least 45 minutes. It was so nice to have the sunshine!  

Now that Davey has discovered the joys of playing in the ground (gravel, sand, mud) with sticks, I don't think I'll ever get a picture of his face again!! 

Andrew's grandad, Clarence David, who our Davey was named for. I'd seen this picture once before, but not since we knew we were having our own Davey.  

Friday at the beach...

Hot diggity! We're at the ocean!!!


Davey loves the water so much, he tends to charge straight in no matter what. Last Sunday when we were here he charged into the ocean in his sneakers and ended up with wet feet. So we thought ahead this time and put him in boots. Moments after this photo was taken, he did a face plant and ended up soaked from toe to waist (mum caught him before his face hit the water). guess the boots didn't make that much difference after all...


Barefoot at the beach. What more could you ask out of life? (Actually, he's soaked and his socks are drying...)


contemplative pose.





PEEKABOO!!


busy as a beaver.




Just before setting off home, we all wandered on to the beach. Davey and Andrew played "drop the stone" for about half an hour. Dad would put stones on the log for Davey and he would drop them back onto the sand. Over and over. Who knew it was so easy to keep them occupied?!

After all the rain we had in Dec/Jan, it has been so nice to have several days of sun. Today being the nicest so far. Unfortunately I spent most of today sitting in the waiting room at the walk in clinic. All for a good cause though. And I did get to enjoy this late this afternoon. AND it's supposed to be sunny, or at least dry, for a while longer. YAY 

When I got home, I decided Davey and I needed to enjoy some of the sunshine. Even if it was mostly twilight by this time. Davey was hilarious. As we walked along the path, he'd pick up all the pinecones and toss them off the path. How can you tell my little path cleaner is swiss??? or has he just got a lot of Morey in him??? 

Takin' a break. Cleaning the path takes a LOT of energy! 

Eatin' some dirt. Mnnn mnnn 

Mum wouldn't let Davey eat the dirt, so he would scrape his stick along in the ground and then suck on it. Clever rascal 

mumma and davey...matching hoodies and matching messy hair. 

Taking care of his mumma and dad has worn our little trooper out. He can't even finish his dinner or decide which soosy he wants. Poor little bubbas. 

Finally wore the kids out.


Watering the plants for mama


Resting after all his hard work.
