SNOW!




We had a lovely weekend of snow in Vancouver. Gryffin and daddy when skiing and sledding in the local park and we all went for a walk to another park on Sunday where Gryffin built a snowman. On Monday morning Gryffin said he was disappointed. When asked why? He said "I don't want it to rain. I want it to snow" He was worried that his snow man would melt. So on the way to daycare mommy drove by the park and they discovered the snowman was okay.

Gryffin & Rowyn

Don't worry I'll save her!
Yeah! Look at me I'm bouncing.

HELLO!

Cheese! Gryffin really likes Rowyn's things. Here he is in her Bumbo seat with his kayak paddle.

Happy Hallowe'en!

Sir Gryffin and Rowyn the Bee are ready for Hallowe'en. Trick or treat!

Sir Gryffin had a lot of fun trick or treating for the first time. He wanted to share a Smartie with each house he visited. Our knight in shining armour is still looking for that dragon to fight.

I'm up!


At 12 weeks old, Rowyn has been leaning forward from her usual reclining position -obviously she's eager to sit up more. Mom took the hint and got her a "bumbo seat". She likes it!

Fall Fun





Last weekend was beautiful and we had a chance to get out and enjoy the autumn leaves and great weather. Gryffin wore his super red cape everywhere and Rowyn wore her super smile : )

2 months old!


Rowyn is growing fast - 12lbs at her 2 month check up. Her favorite things right now are: smiling and having a "conversation", diaper changes, bathtime, walks, watching Gryffin, and staying up late watching Happy Days re-runs.
A rare moment of lying still that had to be captured with a photo. Here are the "twins" (Gryffin's term) and Rowyn.




Everyone enjoys reading at breakfast these days!





Thanksgiving

Fall arrived suddenly and so did Thanksgiving. When asked what he is thankful for, Gryffin said: "All the things we have" and "Everything!". Some of us had bad colds, but that didn't stop us from enjoying the long weekend and all the turkey and good times shared with our friends. We have so much to be thankful for.

Nan visits



Nan arrived Sept. 24 to meet Rowyn and help out while Scott was away on a TREK hiking trip. As Gryffin would say: Thank you, Nanny Baby! We miss you.

Smiling!

Rowyn has been smiling for us all week - this is the first smile she's shared with the camera.

Tiger, tiger


At last week's visit to the farmer's market Gryff had his face painted as a tiger. Grrrr! But even little tigers need a nap.....

Back to school


Summer vacation is over and it's back to school and our usual routine. Up early to get Scott off to work, then Allyson, Gryffin and Rowyn head up to UBC so Gryffin can play at daycare all day while Allyson and Rowyn move at a more baby friendly pace.

Our Little Monster

The Gryffin monster! We went to the UBC farmer's market on this morning and they had face painting. Gryffin asked to be a monster.

The monster video. Turn up your volume as the sound is low in a few spots. ENJOY!

A collection of photos

Gryffin trying to act all cute and cuddle by giving gentle kisses and hugs to Rowyn. In reality he's avoiding putting his PJs on.

Checking out the baby.

Told you I was bigger.


Life doesn't get much better. All I need is Gryffin!

It's Hippie Day in Kits!


Ahhhh! I've gained 2.2 pounds in the last 2 weeks. Rowyn weigh-in at 3 weeks.


Climbing with Gryffin :)

Last Saturday (August 25) Gryffin decided that he wanted to go climbing so off we went to the climbing gym. Gryffin had a blast. I'm not sure what he liked more climbing up or swinging from the rope.

Tying in for his first climb.

Gryffin's first climb. Look at that technique.


Snack break.

Grandma

Grandma came out to visit and help immediately after Rowyn was born. Everyone enjoyed her visit and she is dearly missed!
Cuddle time with Rowyn.

The three amigos playing.

Say Cheeseeeee!
Allyson and Gryffin had made a bead necklace earlier in the evening. Gryffin decided that Rowyn should have it.
