Merry Christmas!

We were really late sending out our Christmas cards this year because we wanted to include a festive picture of both boys, so we waited until after Simon was born. Those of you who haven't received it in your mailbox yet will probably get it on Monday. Consider it our way of making Christmas last! :)

Here are a couple of the Christmas photos we took of Isaac and Simon.

First Day Flying Solo

Yesterday was Josh`s first day back to work after his vacation. His vacation time was chosen at this time last year, before we knew of Simon`s pending arrival. Talk about great timing! Josh is going to be taking some parental leave in the new year, and we all can`t wait to have some nice relaxed family time together.

A few pics from Jane`s day with the boys...

Sometimes you just have to capture the innocence of a sleeping baby - even if you are home alone and he is asleep on your shoulder. The solution? Taking a picture in the bathroom mirror.

Yes, this photo is blurry and the sun washing out half of Isaac`s head, but there is just nothing like the excitement of a big laughing toddler hug!

This is probably our favourite photo yet of the boys

A lot of baby clothes have tags that say random little things. This tag is on the sleepers Simon was wearing yesterday afternoon. `Squeeze me`...I thought you`d never ask. :)

And does this sweet little boy look like he`d throw a book at his baby brother`s head? Maybe not, but it happened about 3 minutes after this picture was taken. He is still learning the meaning of the word `gentle`.

Bathing Brothers

Tonight, Josh bathed Isaac in the tub while Jane bathed Simon in the baby bath on the counter in the washroom. They were both in great moods and loving bath-time. It was so nice to hear Isaac's squeals and giggles while watching Simon kick his feet in the water. We had Christmas music on the radio, and Isaac was grooving to the tunes and laughing at his flailing brother. How lucky we are to have these two lovely little guys!

Sleeping Simon

Simon looks so stinkin' cute when he is asleep - especially when he props his head up like this. Josh crawled behind the couch to snap this picture of him sleeping on Jane's shoulder.

Yippee for Scottie and AC!

A couple of Josh's university roommates are in this band. We love them, they played at our wedding reception, and Isaac attended their CD Release Party in utero. A couple of them work on another project together...a kid's group! Kids love "Scottie and The Stars" and it looks like the are getting some recognition! The ECMA's released their nominations today, and they are nominated for Childrens' Recording of the Year. Congrats to Scottie and AC! Our fingers are crossed for you guys :)

"Si!"

Isaac is still a one syllable kind of speaker, so 'Simon' and 'brother' are a little beyond him. He has started saying Si though, which we totally love. (In case it's not obvious, it's like 's-eye' not like 'see').

Here are some pics of our house yesterday, including one where Isaac crawled up on Jane's lap to check on 'Si'

Day #4

We all spent the day at home and in our pyjamas today. It was stormy outside, which made it even easier to snuggle up and be lazy. Here are a few pictures of Simon's 4th day in the world.

Interview with Isaac

Isaac, meet Simon. Simon, meet Isaac.

Here are a few pics documenting the beginning of what we are sure will be a wonderful relationship. Brothers 16 months apart are sure to be best friends, right? That, or worst enemies. We are obviously hoping for the former!

Isaac already has some big love (and some big hugs) for his little bro.

It's a...

...Boy!

Welcoming our new addition into the world!

Loving Life!

A snack, a drink, and a chair that's just his size: What could be better?



Isaac is just loving this chair that we picked up at Superstore today. (Regularly priced at $19.99 and on clearance for $4.94. Can't beat that!) There is a certain air of pride around him when he sits in it - like he knows it's specially for him!
