one

so,the last year has flown by.until i was a mother myself, i thought that was a cliche. how did we get from this baby,

to this boy?



time just goes. this time last year we would have been discovering timbers heart condition. this was a very scary timefor us & now we are through so much of it. GOD is so good. next week we will meet with the cardiologist to determin the next leg of the journey which i expect to be low key. i took this and the last photo the last morning timber was a on year age. i love them. i am posting the ever popular 1st cake on the 1st birthday photo too.


and once back @ home timby thought that since he was now one he would just help himself to some grapes in the fridge. after all he is a big boy now.

so,
as mentioned, we went on a church retreat. it had it's up's and down's, but we prevaled and had a good time away as afmily enjoying some pretty awesome sunshine, playing, good food, swimming, fellowship and learning. tough nearly every church member came home with either a cold, flu or both. we have had all three options at our house.


i am also posting in addition to the retreat photo's, some cute pic's ofthe kids in the bath. this weekend we will be celebrating timbers first birthday. how did that happen? we look forward to seeing some of you readers there.

goodbye october.

appologies to any of you who actually read this blog. i had good intentions of posting in october. and only ow have found the moments to do so. our october started with a rather disapointing trip to the great pumpkin festival in smokey lake. the good stuff was the pumpkin truck, the best popcorn, (that skylar can now eat!!!), and these wild displays all through town with hay and pumpkins.


we filled in some days with a trip to the park with forest and visiting the newest familyaddition, mckenzie siutor.



seeing as the month endson the 31st, i took a little panda & a fairy princess to the halloween party @ skylars play school. we then headed off to nakaman for our church retreat. (see next posting, coming soon:])
