Lynn Canyon

Nice pose with a whole cracker in his mouth! He was probably trying to hide it from the squirrels.

Daniel in the Canadian Rainforest

He had so much fun running around and exploring and did he ever sleep good that night with all the fresh air!

On the suspension bridge. I don't think that fear of heights or movements had set in yet.with Daniel. He loved the movement of the bridge, he even walked across most of it himself and he would try to shake the chains on the sides while looking down.....YIKES...that part freaked me out! Here I am tring to keep him as close to the middle of the bridge as I can, I was so scared he would arch his back or something and fall over.

September 5th, 2008

Today was Dan's mom's birthday. Daniel, Gina and I went for a nice walk in the park before devouring TURKEY for her birthday meal. Yummmmm.....

The PNE

Watching the horse races...

The ferris wheel

Wow....Snoopy~

My little Fireman...

I am not sure why we didn't get a picture of Fino, but he came with us to the PNE and we had a lot of fun and ate too many mini doughnuts. But that is what exhibition/fairs are all about!

CF-18 Fighter jet

Daniel got to sit in an CF-18 at the PNE. He was so excited and interested in all the knobs and buttons...he actually cried when I had to lift him out to let the others take a turn. Hmmmmm....future fighter pilot coming up??

( oh and that is not my hairy arm in the last picture!)

September 6th, 2008

Daniel and Malachi up to NO GOOD! That is what happens when cousins get together. I am sure you can agree Elisa!

Not sure if this was a laugh or a yawn, probably both.

Daniel and his cousin Emma

My handsome boy all decked out for his first wedding.

with mommy and daddy

Oh so tired.....

A few shots of Daniel with us while he was dressed so cute. Oh and can you tell that Daniel and Dan had matching ties on. My dad had his tailor make them especially for the wedding. Thankfully Daniel didn't notice the tie, or else it wouldn't have lasted very long. Though his shirt only stayed tucked in for about 5 minutes! Thank goodness for a garden wedding too...I can't imagine how we all would have been in a quiet church for an hour!

The Langeruds/Nietos

All of us at my cousin Kirsten's wedding, September 6th. This was also my moms 5o something ;) birthday. It was so nice to all be together for her birthday. In fact I think it was the first time since Daniel was born that we were all together.

August 2008

Ewwww mom SPINACH????

Well he tried it and that is all I can ask for....it took me years to like spinach and now I love it!

That's better....French toast shaped like airplanes.

Daniel couldn't wait....I was dishing up the other plates and had put his on the table already. When I turned around, he had managed to get the plate off the table and was sitting on the floor eating....I still do not know how he didn't spill it all!

The start of Daniel's first black eye....

Poor guy bent down to pick up something and WHAMMMM...he hit his eye on the coffee table. He didn't cry very much, but the swelling sure freaked me out. He didn't want ice packs or cubes or anything cold on it, until I snuck a few slices of cold cucumber....it actually did the trick.

Have you ever watched that show?? Thought it was funny to see a car here in Doha with "You Got Punk'd" on it.

Daniel and Joanna

Watching "Handy Manny" together. And taking their vehicles out for a spin. (in their PJs. )

My good friend Shabnam moved away to our neighboring country, Bahrain. On a visa run, her and her daughter Joanna spent the night and day. We had a good time and it was cute to watch our two kids play together. Miss you Shabnam, Tim and Joanna....can't wait to meet baby #2, coming next summer!

This news is serious stuff.

Peek a boo...

July 2008

So many firsts for Daniel this month of July.

1. His first Canada Day.
2. His first haircut
3. His first teeth
4. His first birthday

and many more.....

Happy Canada Day

Daniel all dressed up for Canada day....and that was about it too....nothing special happened, just lunch with a Canadian flag bib and of course a picture to prove that we are patriotic.

"Wheel Of Fortune"

This picture is for Great Grandma B. Daniel loves watching wheel of fortune, though it usually comes on during his morning nap. When he does get to watch, he tries to touch the letters as they light up and claps when everyone else claps....it is so cute and reminds me of my grandma, she never misses her Wheel of Fortune!!!
