Photos from NB

It's been a little hectic here since our return on Sunday - Kate was on call Monday, she caught a nasty-but-apparently-short-lived flu bug, our stroller had a flat (fixed with a team effort tonight), plus the usual rigamarole of twins. All of that is a lengthy excuse for forgetting to call my mom yesterday on her birthday. I called today, but really, how many times does a woman turn 39 and I still managed to forget it. Oops.

Our New Brunswick trip was fantastic despite its brevity. We've lived together before, but it's a little different with four kids now underfoot (six if you count the day that Mike and Jo visited). Even with the excitement of their cousins, Molly and Jacob slept well (early risers though - where did that gene come from?). The cold spell kept us indoors for most of the week, but we did make it to the Moncton and Dieppe farmers' markets, coming away with a birdfeeder and two sleepsacks.

Here are some photos of the trip:
- Alison reading to Jacob, Maeve & Sam

- Maeve trying on Molly's fleece and toque - bigger blue eyes than the Grinch's Cindy Lou

- Molly's cheeks keep getting more fantastically chubby

- Jacob looking a little concerned

- Al and Maeve

- Molly's killer half-smile. She makes you earn it. Alison says she looks like a perfect chickpea.

- Maeve and Jacob (flying the Habs colours in the middle of Bruin country)

- Our guys looking cuddly in blue fleeces

I resent being called a kid.

By the way, it looks like Ali is reading a paint swatch catalogue to the kids. But that must just be my mindset, as we are constantly thinking of the new house - which we "own" as of today!!

P.S. Did I deduce that Julia's family is from TO? Can we get to know her mom, b/c my knitting days have dwindled to few and far between and those sweaters are awesome. I bet they're oragnic cotton too.

Sorry Jo, it must be your girlish charm that threw me off. And Julia's mom, Helen, is a knitting wonder. Two grandkids of her own and another on the way and she's still churning out beauties for our beauties.
