so many reasons to celebrate!

Three birthday boys celebrated their birthdays last weekend in Kitchener - Great Grandad's 85th (January 29th), Justin's 1st (February 3rd) and Grandpa's 58th (February 24th)!


Grandma and Grandpa gave Justin and Jamie a wagon for their birthdays (a little early for the Princess, but we'll be sure to have a little something extra for her on her actual birthday in April!).

Somehow the cake managed to survive the trip!

Vegan cake is yummy, right Justin?

Some of Justin's favourite activities:  looking out the window...

... sledding...

...and especially cuddling with Mommy!

And oh, yes, one more thing - 

he's walking nearly all the time now!

Way to go, Justin!

Another cause for celebration was our new puppy meeting Jamie and Justin for the very first time.  Beowulf was very well behaved, though we did have to stand guard over all those tempting toys the kids have!  (Here he's chewing one of his own.)

Beowulf got to meet Kazan's friend Casper -

 and the three of them had a great time together!

All tuckered out!

Thank you ever so much, Josh and Heather and Jamie and Justin, for a WONDERFUL weekend that left us feeling so very blessed, so very pampered, and so very loved.

Now that's something to celebrate!!!
