One Month with Charlie

Well, Charlie has been with us for one month already and we are starting to settle into a bit of a routine. :) He's been doing well adapting to the noise and busyness of Liam and Lily, and so far is doing really well being schlepped to playgroup, playgrounds, or preschool every day. He is starting to sleep better at night. He still doesn't have very long sleep periods, but at least now he doesn't stay awake for long periods in the middle of the night. We had a doctor's appointment last week and the little guy was already 11lbs 2oz (at 3 weeks) - I'm sure he is over 12 lbs at this point!!

Here are some pics:

And as an added bonus, a pic of Lily on her first night in her big girl bed (which is currently just her crib matress on the floor - LOL!)

Welcome Charlie!!

It's a boy!!!

Welcome Charles (Charlie) Linden!

The final countdown

My c-section date has been set! Baby will be arriving on September 3, unless he/she has other ideas and decides to come earlier. That is only 3 weeks away - YIKES!!!

Tutu cute!

Long story short, I was feeling crafty and made Lily a tutu! She loves it - and so does Liam. He wants me to make him a green one. LOL!!

Happy Canada Day

We spent Canada Day at the park today and had a great time! The weather was really nice - it was a bit windy, and a bit smoky, but still beautiful. The kids loved playing in the sand, and weren't at all afraid of getting in the cold water!

And here is Lily in the Canada Day dress I made for her:

Baby J

Okay, so the pics are small - you'll have to wait for me to hook up the scanner again to get some better ones! :)

And now for the external view. This was already a few weeks ago, so believe it or not, I am even bigger!

Liam goes fishing

Grandpa gave Liam a fishing rod last time we were up to visit, so when Grandpa came down here all the boys went to the creek to see what they could catch. They did manage to catch one fish which Liam was quite disgusted by - Grandpa was lucky enough to get that pic! The rest of you will have to make do with these:

Lily's first haircut

Well, we didn't have too much to cut, but Lily's hair was getting pretty fuzzy in the back so we decided it was time! She sat quite well for the haircut, and got quite a kick out of being sprayed with the spray bottle!

Spring is here!

Have you ever seen such cuties???

More of Lily plays dress-up...

Playing in the sandbox...

Some Easter pics and a bonus

What goes with Three??

This blog started off as Life with Liam, then it changed to Time for Two - now I need something that will go with Three...any suggestions? :D

Estimated date of arrival for baby #3: September 16, 2008!

What can I say? The boy loves his books!

Merry Christmas!

Okay, so it is a little late, but better late than never right?

All in all, we had a pretty good Christmas. Liam was bound and determined that Santa was not coming to see him, but apparently Santa was perfectly welcome to visit Lily and bring her a toolbench. Gotta love that logic! On Christmas morning all the ill feelings fell by the wayside as Liam dove into all his loot. It was so much fun since Liam was actually into opening the presents and was excited about what was inside. Lily, well she just wanted to play with anything her brother had!!


After having Christmas morning here, we drove to Grandma and Grandpa J's to visit and spend the night. The kids did not sleep too well, but we still had a good time!
