Birthday Boy

A couple of days post birthday, Jack's eyes have cleared up and we staged the candle and cake photos. Yup, a one year old can make short order of a cup cake and manage to make a pretty wide spread pattern!

Okay one more and then I'm really off to bed...

Another winner photo from this morning... 

Baby B or Peanut

Thought I'd quickly post this too, baby B or Peanut as he/she is affectionately known was jealous that they have not made an appearance on Mommy's blog yet. 

Birthday Boy

Jack is one year old today! Hard to believe.
We did a little photo shoot this morning, we weren't overly successful, had to bribe him with the cheerio bag and even then couldn't get him to look up and smile. I have numerous pictures of him clenching his jaw and gritting his teeth at me though. :)

In other news, I did it, cut off the hair. I have been growing it ever since Jack was born but I'm done, can't do it anymore and it's now an inch shorter than my chin. ahhhhh, feels good!!!

I'm off to bed, I'm exhausted!
Love to all K 

Christmas

How is it that the Christmas season seems to take soooo long at the start, we are all busy baking and shopping and cleaning and then after Christmas Day, pffft time rushes by and the season is all over for another year. I can't believe it is a week into the New Year already. My excuse is that I have had a nasty cold/flu bug since Christmas Day and have been feeling semi-miserable and unable to enjoy too many holiday festivities but I seem to remember every year being like this. I really don't have any profound holiday or New year messages, I just hope that you spent the time enjoying family and friends and that you have fond memories to look back on. In amongst my sickness misery I did file away some memories of my own:
1. Watching Jack get over his fear of Emma, my parents dog and ending up loving her.
2. Seeing Jack have fun with Grandpa and Grammie.
3. Finally getting Darrel a gift that he didn't already know about but really did want.
4. Seeing Cameron and Darrel play "baby pool" (Jack crawling on the pool table and sinking the balls, Cam was solids and Darrel was stripes. Winning was hindered by Jack removing previously sunk balls from the pockets.)
5. Reading Angels & Demons...a pre-quel to the DaVinci Code...ahhh the suspense.
6. Getting a pedicure gift certificate, my husband is a good good man!
7. Playing cards with the extended relatives, even when they mocked me.
8. Good food.
9. Going to see Memoirs of a Geisha with Erika and Judy.
10. Going out to dinner at Sampan -boy was Cameron sick! poor guy, poor other bathroom users!
