Noah - our precious treasure

Precious Noah has had a very special place in our hearts for over 8 years now. We will never forget the day he gave us new titles - Omma and Abbi.  

We love spending time with this creative young man, seeing him grow and mature and being a fantastic big brother to his 4 younger siblings.  

Getting ready for his 3 km. run with Omma.

While waiting for his Dad to finish the 1/2 marathon, being treated to pizza and a donut.  

Might just want to try that again some day!!

Way to go Dad!!

Can't believe I knit that sweater for him 6 years ago - was not too good at sizes!!

During a Maple Syrup tour.

Brave young man going over the falls in a barrel!!

What can his Omma and Abbi say?  They tried it 38 years ago!!

We love you Noah, and miss you very, very much.

Skype is wonderful - but nothing can take the place of just being with you - your hugs, your smiles, your stories and tons more!!

Selah - what a gem!!

Selah - our beautiful, precious gem!!

 

Kind of looks like she and Abbi are good friends - or is it that Omma is the one always walking around with the camera???

 A wonderful big sister

 and a daughter to be proud of!!

Oh Selah - you are so adorable!!!

Day out with Omma and Abbi at a camp where they make Maple Syrup - must have been one of those COOOOOLD days!!

Giddy up, giddy up, my pony boy!!

Cheering Daddy on, in his lastest marathon.

We are so thankful for all our special times with you these past few months Selah.  You entertained us so often, brought countless smiles to our faces and warmed our hearts over and over again.

You sure are a special little gem who has a very big place in our hearts.    

Andrew - our little Prince

Andrew - our handsome little Prince!

 We have called Andrew our 'Little Prince' since the day he was born, and we still love to call him that.  He is such a fun loving, handsome little boy with a heart melting smile.  

Andrew loves trains and building the tracks - it is so fun to see his creativity.  

Our 'No-el' table was put to good use these past few months.  

All dressed up for church, with his big sis, Austrian style.

Another little book worm - alone - 

- with mom -

- Abbi - 

- or his siblings.  

Tim Horton's date with Abbi.

We love you very, very much Andrew - even when you are teasing us with that cute smirky grin!!

What fun to see you so often these past few months and we look forward to the next time we can get a big hug from you.

By the way, are you are our 'pogi' or our little rascal?!?!

Fun with Kandace

Kandace - our little angel!

Abbi loves to read stories to her.

She is pretty good at 'reading' books herself too!!

 'Reading club' with her 3 oldest siblings.  

Cute little model - whether in a hand knit jumper or a dress from Austria.  

Good little eater.

Lunch with Omma and Abbi.

Always a smile - on the swing or the trampoline.  

They can't get any sweeter than this, can they?

Can you guess that we think the world of her?

We can't stop talking about precious little Kandace, how sweet she is and all the cute things she says.  We loved every minute we were with her these past few months - wonderful memories.
