Thought my Mom and Aunts might like to see the wonderful home-made blanket that Grandma sent us. She had me pick the fabric during our visit in June.

My sweet baby, 5 weeks ago. I've been tearfully going through some pictures from that day and feel I have to gaa-gaa up my blog like never before.

The 3 greatest moments of my life are and always will be the times when Emily, Thomas and Simon were placed on my heart for the first time. The feeling is like jumping out of an airplane, winning the 20.5 million dollar lottery, eating something intennnsely delicious, finishing first in the Olympics triathalon, winning the Oscar for best actress, that initial infusion of warmth and delight that a glass of wine brings multiplied by 10,000 and die'n and go'n to heaven ALL AT ONCE. Well, you mom's know exactly what I'm talking about. And for you non-moms or not-yet-moms, if you're picturing a slightly drunken woman eating chocolate cheesecake and flying through the atmosphere with a gold medal around her neck and a big smile on her face, you're getting my drift.

A Puppy!

A baby!


A Birdie!

Sorry, I guess blogging doesn't come naturally to everyone.

A breathtaking bouquet of Dahlias Emily helped Mom Plett pick out for the "new" parents!

We had a grand old time with the Ma and the Pa this past week and it was hard to see them go.

Power Update:

Simon is an angel...

Tommy looks plastic when wet...

Emily loves her new grade 2 teacher and finally "likes school"... Simon sometimes looks just like his big sister did... Tommy doesn't want anyone to remove his helmet... Emily is a little mommy.

Curious, Quiet, Cuddly...we're just cherishing every teeny moment of his teeniness!

This was last weekend.
Wish this was every weekend.
Thanx Krys, Matt,
and Clint for knowing how to make our kids (and us) feel so loved. Our home is yours so come back soon!
