Deep in conversation
Here are Paigie and Ashton deep in conversation while Morgan and Maddison are at dance class.
A Girl and her Dog!!
Last month, Morgan and I took Cookie to Toronto to visit with her family. Everybody had a great time, and I got some really good pictures.
This is Morgan and Cookie with her breeder Laura Colton.
Here are three generations: on the far left is Cookie, in the middle is Bliss (Cookie's daughter), and on the far right is Breezy (Cookie's mother).
Here is another picture of Breezy.

Ultrasound
Wednesday was my fourth ultrasound for this pregnancy. They have been watching me quite carefully because of a low-lying placenta among other things, and because my OB knows that I am one of the biggest worriers that he has ever met! He was very confident that every was fine, but also knew that I was in need of some extra reassurance. Well the ultrasound went very well, and the baby looks great. I can't believe how fast the baby is growing!
The last picture that I posted were from August, so here are the ones from September, and this week:
This picture was from September.
This one was taken this week, and it really looks like there is a little person in there!!
This one is my favourite, you can really see the baby's face. Well most of us can (right Daddy???? :) ) Morgan was able to see the baby's face right away.

Update
Okay, so I haven't been too good at keeping things up to date. I will try to catch up on everything this week. I have quite a few pictures to post, but will do it in my next post. School is going very well for Morgan, and she can now count up to 30 en francais!!!! Morgan has also started Sparks, and is really enjoying it. Miss Paigie is growing like a weed. She was a bit cross when Morgan started school this year and she didn't, but now seems to be enjoying the quiet afternoons at home. Also we attend a story time at the library. The pregnancy has been challenging so far, mainly I think because this time there are two other little people who need me as well. I go for my fourth ultrasound this afternoon, and will update later. They are keeping a very close eye on me this time, but all seems to be well. We celebrated Kevin's birthday on the 3rd of October, and the birth of our niece Ilysa Rose Linton on the 4th of October. Welcome to the world little one!! More later when I hook the camera up to the computer. Love to all.

First Day of School
Morgan had her first day of school last Thursday. It went very well, and she was very excited about her new teacher, and her new classroom. Half the class went on Thursday, and the other half of the class went on Friday, so she will find out who else is in her class tomorrow.
Here are some pictures from her first day:
Morgan and Paige at home before we left for school.
Morgan and Maddison on the playground at school before they went in; they are in different classes this year.

We're all still alive.....really!!!!
I know I haven't posted in ages, but we are all still alive. I've been so tired by the time evening rolls around, and the kids are tucked safely in their beds, that I haven't had a chance to post anything. Last week we had a great visit from Auntie Catherine. I finally got the photos transferred from the camera, onto my computer so I will start posting the rest of the England pictures asap!! I see the doctor on Friday, and will update you all on that soon. Morgan starts school in one week, and cannot wait to go to Mme. Quait's class to learn french!!!! Other than that all is well! xxoo

Ultrasound photo
I couldn't get the picture very clear, but here it is:
I actually have two pictures, but I can't seem to edit the other one at all, and it is way too blurry to post. This one came out pretty well, and if you look closely you can see arms and legs!!!

ANNOUNCING.......
Well it's been another crazy week, and I still haven't had time to get those pictures posted. I'm going to get to it soon though because there are some great ones from our last week in England. On another note, we have some news for everyone. We are pleased, and very surprised to announce that our family will be growing by one this February. Morgan and Paige will have a new brother or sister. I had an ultrasound last week which showed that the baby looks great, and that I am due on the 18th of February. Once I figure out how to post the pictures, I will. I can't scan them apparently because it ruins the picture. I'll try to take a picture of it with the digital camera. Love to all!!!!

I have lots of new photos to post, which I will do once we have settled back into a routine, and have recovered from our jet lag!!! Until then, love to everyone!

Little fishies....
Last week the weather finally warmed up enough for the kids to get into the swimming pool:
They have been swimming like little fishies, and Paige, who hasn't spent very much time in the pool is getting more and more confident.

GrandDad's Birthday party :)
Last Saturday we celebrated my Dad's 65th birthday! I'm not sure which age group had more fun, or who was sillier!
Morgan and GrandDad with their "hats" on!
For his birthday, GrandDad received a battery operated bubble blower like the one that we have at home. All the children had a great time with the bubbles, although the birthday boy had a few issues sharing :) .

Catching Up!!!!!
Wow!! So its been well over a week since I posted anything, and now it is going to take me awhile to get back up to date so you will all have to be patient. I have lots of pictures to post but I may not get to it all tonight, as I have to get some sleep. The kids have been keeping me up at night (surprise, surprise), but I have to get some rest tonight because tomorrow I am going out with my mentor, and oldest friend.
A week ago Friday we went for lunch at the Manor House in Little Tew,and the girls got to play in the garden. It brought back very fond memories for me of playing in that very garden myself, just the smells of the house and the garden took me back 25 years!!! The owner of the house just turned 91 at the end of June, but you would never know it, she is exactly as I remember her and I haven't seen her since 1992!!!! Here are some pictures of the girls playing in the garden.
As children, Nancy used to send us out to the green house to see how many passion flowers had bloomed. Much to my delight, there was one in bloom while we were there,so of course I had to get a picture of it.
This rocking horse used to live in the study, but has since moved. I used to spend hours riding him and pretending that he was real. I was very pleased to see him.
We had a very nice lunch and it was so nice to my children playing somewhere that holds so many special memories for me. I have video of the girls rolling down the grass hill at the Manor House as well, but I am having technical issues so will post it at another time.

Visit to the Duck and Children's Farm in Wigginton
Last Thursday we went to a Duck and Children's Farm in a very nearby village by the name of Wigginton. The girls had a wonderful time.
Here is Morgan holding a baby bunny. They had a room full of baby animals, there were chicks, and ducklings, gerbils, a chinchilla, and these baby bunnies. They had small chairs that children could sit on, with a mat on their laps, and with their parents help they could hold a bunny.
Paige even got to hold a baby bunny with Mummy's help.
There were paths to follow around the duck ponds, and you could even feed them.
Look at the duck to the far left, it looks as if it is wearing a hat,
As we were looking at the ducks, we came across this gate, where there were sheep grazing in the field. As soon as we came up to the gate this sheep came running, and stood up on the gate. We were all quite amused.

Bell Ringing
Last night I went with Dad and Sarah to bell ringing in Steeple Aston. Here is some video of Sarah ringing, and the beautiful sound of the bells. Not something that we see in North America.

Visit to the Alpaca ranch
On Saturday, we went down to Little Tew to visit a lady who raises Alpacas. The girls had a wonderful time.
In this picture, you can see some babies, one of them was only a day old!!!!
The alpacas were quite frightened of the girls, so they weren't able to pet any, but we did get to see a fleece from an alpaca that had been shorn the day before, and Morgan was able to feel it as well.
