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!

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.
