Welcome Winter!

Katelyn's favorite activity right now is to stand. Usually she has help from mom, but today, she is standing by herself with the use of the coffee table. You go girl! (Dec.8th)
Katelyn has learned to pull herself up to a standing position using the edge of her toy basket... and then
has managed to take a couple of steps to the couch. (Dec. 7th)

Dad had Katelyn all packed and ready to go with him to Olds. Just joking!!! Katelyn and mom hang out in Calgary during the week while dad goes to school at Olds College. He will be completed his Landscape Gardener Apprenticeship technical training on January 23.2009... yeah!
Katelyn "cute as a button" in her Sunday dress just before heading to church.

Our little elf is helping mom unpack the Christmas decorations.

Katelyn exploring the kitchen... well really she is attempting to pull up on anything her height... this chair did not bring her much success.
"SCHMOO CREATIONS" first craft fair. I ventured into the land of crafting this fall and made baby blankets and other baby related items. For my first year, the sales went okay especially considering the economic turn the country has taken. I enjoyed sewing the blankets and have learned a few things if I decide to do it again next year.

"Carmel" watches over Katelyn has she naps on the couch.

Katelyn enjoys her jolly jumper for the first time.

Katelyn turns 7 months today!!! November 11th.

Katelyn at her first football game. We went to cheer on the Ernest Manning Griffins High School team in the Division 3 Championship game. Hoorah! We won!!! (Ernest Manning in the school that I teach at.)


Our first real day of winter struck us on Nov. 5th although it didn't last long. I have to admit that we have been very spoiled this year with little snow and milder temperatures.
