I was one click away from deleting this blog today. There just isn't much for extra time these days... (if the past year of my not posting anything didn't tell you that!) Really it's just one more thing that I feel like I SHOULD be doing. But, what good are these moments if unremembered?... they will of course subconsciously shape us but it's so nice to dig out a book and take a walk down memory lane. Already we have enjoyed looking back on our first blog book numerous times. So, if this ends up just being the occasional post of pictures with a few words here and there I've decided I'm OK with that! So here's a few picture that will begin to sum up the past year...

Family Pics

After such a great photo session with Cole we decided to go back the following week and have family potraits done by the same girl. She really works with whatevers happening in the moment and once again we ended up with some GREAT shots.

Potraits

After our first potrait session with Cole at Superstore by a not so enthusiastic photographer we were skeptical to try another. I'm glad we did though... we ended up with so many great shots. We did this one at Walmart, and the girl Andrea there did a fantastic job shooting Cole. I can't even pick a favourite so here's a little collection to view...

Happy Birthday Grandma!

A birthday message and pictures for a very special mother and grandma. Thinking of you today and wishing you all the best in the year ahead! Love from Jeff, Lorraine and Cole

Green and loving it! The whole family eats it now. Plus Cole is on probiotics... gotta fight those daycare bugs! Suprisingly, he eats it without any fuss at all.

trying out a bike seat... he loved the ride so much that when we were back home and took him out he started crying

A Little Update

Sadly, I don't think I will be back to posting each week... work has me much too busy. I am enjoying it though! And it just makes what time I do get with Cole that much more precious.
Our little boy is getting sooo big! His ear infection that he got pretty much when he started day care has now finally... (knock on wood) gone. His appetite is back full force and he has boundless amounts of energy which he's been using up doing more walking... and not just a few steps between mommy and daddy anymore.
Above, pictures of Cole and Daddy with his new wagon that he got with bday money from Grandma and Grandpa as well as his Great Grandpa and Grandma. Below, walking (yes, with a cornpop in mouth--not allowed but I needed a quick picture!) and the last one in his firetruck ball pit he got from Alison... he was so excited to get this birthday present and loves playing in it!

Happy 1st Birthday Cole!

On Saturday May 1st we had Cole's birthday party. We were happy so many friends and family were able to make it to celebrate his 1st year with us. I can see now why it I've read that "keeping it small" is better for them though... Cole was a little out of sorts for the party and spent most of the time in my arms. The most confusing part to him was his birthday cupcake and he didn't know what to make of it or that everybody was watching him! He didn't really end up eating much of it at all. He must have gotten enough of a taste to know what it was though since the other day at daycare they had cupcakes (for someone's bday) and I guess he started clapping when he saw them and then polished off his... all except for what ended up on his shirt and in his hair! Cole was spoiled with lots of presents from his grandparents, aunts and uncles and friends. Because I didn't get as many pictures as I wanted to with being busy I'm going to list everyone who was here so Cole knows in the future. Friends from our mom and baby group-- Nicole and Alyssa, Sarah and Emmitt, Laura and Alexander, Meghan and Allie, Julia and Sadie Jane, my friend Alison and friend Darlene with her little girl Charity, Aunt Kim and cousin Noah, Uncle Sean and Aunt Shannon with cousin Kristen, Aunt Miriam with cousins Caitlin and Mackenzie, Uncle David, Grandma, Grandpa and (later) Uncle Daniel.
