November 24th, To Jan's House We Go...

With an hour drive to and from Jan's, Samuel and I had a very long day! Jan took the day off work to have a mommy baby day with Nathan, Sonja & Rhiannon, and Samuel & me. We were at her house for about 5 hours! The time went by so quickly, it certainly didn't seem that long. Of course we took a few pictures...

While Rhiannon had the attention of the three cameras, Nathan got into his toy box...literally:














Samuel borrowed a Christmas outfit from Rhiannon for a Christmas spirit photo shoot:




















Nathan also had fun taking things out and putting things in Samuel's diaper bag...

November 23rd, Cancel the Vote

Thanks to anyone who voted for Sam's pic. You can stop voting now. My bright idea of entering other's email addresses for them won't work. Adam and I can't even vote in the same day. They must track the internet connection some how. Sorry for wasting your time.

November 21st, Beautiful Boy

I checked the baby stages contest and Samuel has 12 votes! Thanks to all who are voting daily. For all who are interested, go to http://photocontest.babystages.ca/en/vote/vote.php and search for 127675 then enter your email to cast your vote.





















Samuel is a busy boy these days, working on a Christmas surprise for his grandparents. Adam brought home a Christmas surprise for Samuel (the first Christmas present we've gotten for him)...and he was soooo funny! As soon as he came through the door, he asked where Samuel was so that he could hide the toy from him! I guess if nothing else, it's good practice :-)

Adam is working full days now, so Samuel and I are excited for a day out on Friday...we're going to Jan's to play with Nathan and Rhiannon (and Jan and Sonja of course!). And Nana and Papa (aka my mom and Wayne) are coming this weekend! It'll be great to have some company :-)

Speaking of company, I should go do some housework...ironically, I have to set up the spare bedroom so that Mom and Wayne have somehwere to sleep before taking the contents of that room with them when they leave...

November 21st, November Rain?!?

Adam and Robbie went to see Guns N Roses last night. No pictures though, we (I) didn't think it was a good idea to take my prize possession, my camera, to the concert in case they got mugged/swarmed on the walk home.

Upon closer investigation, the grand prize in the baby photo contest is not a dSLR, but a camera similar to the one that I already have. The monthly prize is a compact camera, much smaller than the beast I currently sport. So, please continue to vote, or drop me an email if you'd like me to add your email to the list that I use to vote everyday :-) Adam needs a camera in case any other 80's hair-bands come to town :-)

So what did Sam and I do with an evening alone? Mommy tried to learn how to use the camera I already have. I just haven't been satified with the pics lately, not the subject of course, I couldn't ask for a cuter model, as evidenced below:
