we're melting!

we are in what looks like the middle of a heat wave...it's not supposed to break for at least another week. we're trying to keep cool but it's not any easy task! this has been quite the year for extreme weather...first snow (at xmas)...and now temps at 35+...i'm convinced mother nature just pulls weather out of a hat.

no afternoon nap...and 8 months old today!

I didn't comment on the original post about tal's 8 month bday (only the regular visitors would actually know that).  Lot's of accomplishments this month...crawling, standing, eating more adventurous foods.  She is so incredibly much fun...we re very lucky and proud parents.  length and weight to come.  I'm guessing 17 lbs...and 30" long...

A lot in store for next month...a trip to Ontario with Dad and a family trip to Scotland for Brodie & Gemma's wedding.  Lot's of time in the air!

family photo shoot...

here are a few pics from our family photos last weekend. there were way too many to choose from...thank you leslie, lindy and taryn for such a wonderful gift!
