The baby is sleeping on my lap and this is the only time I can update my blog

I feel like every time I have left the blog for more than two eeks I need to explain myself at the begining of the next post. Well if you have ever had to care for a ten month old baby than no explanations are necessary. For the rest of you "uninitiated" out there, just you wait!

Some of the of pictures are from a little day trip we took last weekend to Elbow Falls. Its a lovely little spot if you ever get the chance to go and I recommend going beyond the day use area and following the hiking trail downstream. There you will find a beautiful bend in the river with nice flat rocks to sit on and even some good swimming holes. But be warned getting into the water there is not for the faint of heart, its very very cold. Also the rocks under water are unbelievably slippery so use care. Only Chris braved the water that day, although I bet it would be really refreshign on a +30 degree day.

The other set of pictures are from Gull lake, which we had the pleasure of visiting on Saturday wiih all our Polish friends from Edmonton. We had a great time and Natalie is becoming quite the little traveler. It was there that we discovered she really loves Chocolate timbits, in fact it was her first chocolate anything. Words cannot describe how proud I was to watch her eat that little morsel of chocolate donut, I am sure it will be a lifelong love. Speaking of strange food Chris also let her chew on a pepperoni stick he was eating. Believe me most of the time she eats very healthy, but sometimes she licks or samples small bits of other food just for fun. The black eye I must explain, she got it when she hit her head on our headboard, she was very sleepy at the time and probably did not know where she was moving. but it is all good and healed.


ok now I must go and feed this baby some dinner.
