Taylor's Birthday

On Aug. 22nd Taylor turned two! We did all her favourite things; went toy shopping, swimming, to the park and ate hot chips and ice cream cake. A couple of weeks later we had a birthday party for her with her friends and cousins at a great park. She had a fantastic time at the playground and with her friends; we are pleased to see that she is a social butterfly :)

Blessing Day

On the first of June Don gave Annabelle a beautiful blessing. It was great to have my family there and especially great that Candy (aka Grandma) could be there and represent the Ward clam.

Annabelle Christine Ward

Our little Annabelle arrived on May 6th at 5:40pm weighing 7lbs 10oz. She was due on May 9th so I was thrilled that she decided to come early. This labour was a much better experience for me; no drugs and all. Originally we had named her Ashleigh but I just didn't think that it suited her so after 10 days we decided on Annabelle. Don likes Annie for short and I think Belle is cute too.
She has such a sweet nature and barely cries; I just wish she would sleep a little longer between feeds at night;) . Taylor adores her and wants to hug & kiss her constantly. She seems to be coping ok with not being the only child anymore.
All and all we love having two little girls!

Aunt Jennys Visit

Aunt Jenny came to visit us in April and even though she couldn't move her head for three days and was hopped up on pain killers we still had a great time. Taylor had a great time hanging out at the beach and going on road trips with her backseat buddy.

Christmas with Dons Family

Well Don, Taylor and I enjoyed a cold Christmas with Don's family in America this year. It was great to spend time with all the family and for Taylor to play with her cousins, aunts & uncles and especially Grandma & Grandpa.





Taylor and I also got to visit my brother and family in Arizona. We loved the time we had with Miles, Emrie & Luke and wish we could do things together more often.  Hope you enjoy some of the pics from the trip!
