Thanks Steve for being so on the ball. We're still dealing with aftermath here in Steveston.

Little A's Baptism is on Sunday

I'm trying to cover all my bases that I can in this short amount of time... Apologies if I missed anyone. It's been so chaotic.

This is my last way of communication for this. This coming Sunday, Angela's baptism will take place at 2pm at Holy Rosary Cathedral in downtown Vancouver (Dunsmuir/Richards).

If you haven't already RSVP'ed to me via facebook or email, please do so ASAP as the caterer needs numbers for the party afterwards. The party will be at the Oswald house.

If you need more info, please contact me in one of the normal fashions.

Little A Turns 1/2

Sept 15 was Little A's half-birthday. She's a half-year old.

Here are some pics of her dancing on her b'day in our family room.

Another First for Little A that I was Hoping We Would See WAY Later

I'm going to keep this short and sweet since I'm packing for a weekend away in Osoyoos at the moment.

Angela took a tumble off the ottoman in the family onto the floor on Tuesday morning. She seemed fine screaming nice and loud at the scare. I wanted to be sure that her head was ok so I called the NurseLine and they thought it best to get the Ambulance to come and take her to get an x-ray at the hospital.

So, car-seat put in the ambulance and off she went. At the hospital, she turned on the charm and everyone loved her. No x-ray was needed. Moved the car-seat while the nurses fought over who got to feed her.

Back home safe. She's still just as fun as ever.

Definitely didn't want this first so soon but better to be safe than sorry.

It was harder on me than her I'm positive. She saw it as an adventure.

Another First for Little A

Well a couple really.

First thing is she went to church. All dressed up in her Sunday Best. The choir ladies went ga-ga over the goo-goo's if you know what I mean.

Little A was a perfect church goer. No crying even though there were plenty other kids trying hard to be heard over the priest (no crying room at the cathedral).

She listened with complete attention to our singing, until she fell asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The other first for yesterday happened while we brunched with her two G-Mas. It appears, she has cut her first tooth. I can see some white on the bottom in the front. WOW. No big cry-fest or anything.

Today is a different story. I lost her one Gerber soother. She doesn't seem to want to take the Avent couple we have. Hm... Perhaps this is an opportunity to wean her off them.

P.S. Yes, I finally found one of the soothers. But she doesn't know that yet. ;)

Don't Sweat the Small Stuff - Celebrate it Instead

Little A is still living in the family room these days. This is due to her room has been the hobby room. Actually not that many hobbies, more other stuff. OK some junk too. :) The room has dark charcoal blue walls and we decided not to repaint.

Instead, we went to Michael's and found these really neat appliques called "Hip in a Hurry". We decided to try this stuff for a wall.


The wall is pictured above. I think it looks pretty cute. We have LOTS more dragonflies and ladybugs to put up all of the room.


We also decided to do the same sort of thing to the "race-car" bathroom. Obviously our little girl would rather have something other than the racing theme. We found these appliques at Canadian Tire.

Now the bathroom is "Finding Nemo".

The above is the bath/shower area.

Bloat (yes that's his name) is on the wall between the towels and the toilet. Just too cute on this colour of wall.

Marlin and Nemo are together on the mirror.

Dory is on the other side of the mirror. Looks like she's really swimming.
On the door from the outside, is a little sticker that alerts other that a bath is in progress. Too cute.

WAHOO! A few tasks done.
