Musical Stylings of Jacob

Here's Jacob dealing with the one-girl mosh pit that is his sister.


And here's some bonus footage of the kids' last playball session

Spring Clean-Up

Here's the family playing in the garden last weekend.

Big Girl Bed

Zoë's sleep challenges have continued, so we decided last week to convert her crib into a big girl bed. While this hasn't resolved all of the sleep issues, we're definitely all happy with the progress. Because we never had the twins in cribs, I think we believe our "sleep tricks" are more likely to work with her in a bed. We will see.

Icy Lake Couch

We went over to the Jenkins last Wednesday to see if the ice was receding off the lake, but not yet. Even today, the lake's not quite clear of ice. Summer-like weather this weekend though.

Walking the Walker

I came home after a weekend in London to this:
- Zoë trying the walker wagon for the 1st time

- A bit more footage for truly dedicated Zoë fans

My favourite quote from Jacob last week:
Jacob: What we having for dinner, mama?
Kate: Tex Mex Tamale Pie
Jacob: No
Kate: Yes we are
Jacob: No, it's Tex Mex To-Jacob Pie, not Tex Mex To-Molly Pie

- Who has a better mugshot - Jacob or Nick Nolte?

Zoë's "crawling"

Zoë is getting better at standing, pulling up and assisted walking so I thought I'd better capture her two methods of "crawling" for posterity.
- Here's the bum shuffle

- And the commando crawl

- Plus a bonus photo of the typical Canadian arts & crafts project, conducted inside the hockey net

Zoë Jumping

She's never unhappy, but when she's in the jolly jumper, she's really, really happy
