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.  

Abbi Meets Boaz

We were crossing the Atlantic earlier this winter with lots of excitement in our hearts.  Ragnar was going to meet our youngest grandson, Boaz, for the first time.  What a joy that was!! 

 Hello Abbi, I have been waiting a few months to meet you!

 Of course I could hardly wait to see him again too.  He was only one week old when we last parted, so I knew he would have grown and changed alot.  

 His first few bites of food.   

 Cuddles with Daddy.

 Mommy's precious little Mr. B.

He enjoys lots of love from his older siblings!    

 Please give that back to me Abbi.

 Good little eater!!

Just a few minutes before we said another sad good bye.  We love him so much, and really, really miss seeing him so often, but are sooooo thankful for the last 4 months of hugs, kisses, smiles and squeezes.
