Megan realizes that having Sam on her lap while he eats cake may not have been a good idea!! 

Heather and Paul.

Mama and Papa.


Thomas and Sam are Home With Mama

Sam fell asleep after a good swim... yes he always sleeps with his "SSHH SSHH " in his mouth.

Jacquie came by for a visit too.

This morning we picked more pumpkins from our patch while waiting for papa so we could go to our first french playgroup in Wellington.  The boys had a great time and learned a few new words.
