Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope this post finds you enjoying a day off (for our fellow Canadians) or at the very least taking some time to think of all you are thankful for. We have so much to give thanks for here- these two videos will give you a glimpse. One is of my two boys having a fit of giggles. The other is of Daniel walking around with Keith practising his trumpet in the background. I initially thought to just film until he stopped walkng, but after 2.5 minutes it clearly wasn't happening, so I just stopped. No one wants to watch a clip longer than that anyway, though the background music helps it to go by a bit faster. Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving!

Yet another birthday party



The birthday boys turned 80 and 1- I'll let you figure out which is which.





A quiet moment with Grandma after the party ended.





Daniel's Grandma & Grandpa G came to visit the weekend after his birthday so we celebrated all over again and had a lot of Keith's family over. In all, there were 30 people over for coffee so it's a good thing there were two cakes!

the first steps...



FINALLY, here is a video form Daniel's first days of walking. It's hard to believe that he only started a couple of weeks ago. Now he is confidently walking circles around everyone and picking up speed (I'll get a video this weekend- I promise!). It's also hard to believe that we were all wearing shorts and t-shirts only a couple of weeks ago when it was an unseasonable 35 above, while now snow is laying on the ground outside the window.

Newsflash!

Daniel started walking the day before his first birhtday, and has been gaining in speed and confidence ever since. There is a video of one of his first attempts, and I"ll get it up here just as soon as I can spend more then a couple minutes on the computer. After years of successful preventative measures, I've had a recurrence of corneal tearing so I'm really limiting computer use. I'm healing well already though and hope to get back to normal soon. You'll just have to imagine Daniel toddling around until next week. :)
