When we were in Kelowna at Thanksgiving, J and I decided to do another photo scavenger hunt. The first one we did was just the alphabet, but this time we chose the one from September 2004.

J makes dinner

Little C’s first birthday meant it was almost time for my maternity leave to end…and that meant a whole bunch of changes for our family. One of things I’ve been in charge of is dinner, but with work hours, it would be after 5:00 before I’d even get home…and C eats early and goes to bed early. Alex is a novice cook and J had a great suggestion…they could learn to cook together!

So, off we went to the the kids’ bookstore and got them a couple of kids’ cookbooks with fairly easy recipes and lots of tips on techniques and photos to show how things are done.

J’s first dinner was tomato soup with garlic bread.



She loved being in the kitchen – she is using a paring knife, but we’re going to wait until her paring knife skills are a bit better before she gets to chop stuff…even so, she did most of the work on this yummy soup.



And she was pretty proud of the final product!



It received a Little C stamp of approval as well!

And then she was one…

One year ago, this was the scene in our living room…it was a very exciting time for all of us…

And now, both of those little girls are so much bigger…it’s been one incredible year!

C was super excited about her birthday even though she really didn’t get it…I think she was just excited because her big sister was!

She was not impressed when we took the cake away to be cut up…but she didn’t get as sad as her sister did on her first birthday(s)

And she was pretty happy when the cake finally came back….

She loved opening presents…there were enough gifts that each of her cousins and her sister got to help her open at least once…what a spoiled little lady!!!

Happy Birthday Baby C…can’t imagine not being a family of four!

Photo Scavenger Hunt

This is a really late post from the first 101 in 1001!

J and I had an evening when we were in Kelowna in June when my mom took C for about an hour so we could go to the park. J wanted to do something “fun.” She picked the alphabet for this one (May 2008). It was lots of fun searching for the right things for each letter and it was fun to see who things are different from J’s perspective!

A is for ant (can you spot it? It’s tiny)

B is for bench

C is for car

D is for dandelion

E is for emptying. J filled her boot up with pebbles and then couldn’t figure out why she couldn’t get it off. Once she tipped them out, it was no problem!

F is for fountain

G is for goal

H is for home (or hole)

I is for insect

J is for…J!

K is for kick

L is for light

M is for moss

N is for needles

O is for Oregon grape

P is for park

Q is for “Queen of the Castle”

R is for rocks

S is for shadow

T is for teeter totter

U is for uphill

V is for view

 

W is for wasp’s nest

X is for X

 

Y is for yummy Yop!

Z is for zooooooooooooooom
