Happy Father's Day!

To Papa, Grampa, Daddy - Kailie, Kolton, and I are so grateful to have you in our lives and we thank you for being such great men whom we admire so much.  We are truly blessed to have you as our Father / Grandfather :)

This Father's Day was very special for me as I got to be home with my Dad and the rest of our family.  Living in Bermuda often prevents us from being home to celebrate these special occasions so it was a real treat to be home for this one.

The picture above were shirts I had for the kids for Fathers Day and I completely forgot to put them on the kids on Father's Day!!!  Two kids keep me hopping and often the 'Mummy-Brain' can't keep up!  So the kids wore their special Daddy shirts the day after on our trip home from Edmonton and Kailie loved to tell anyone that would listen that her and her baby brother had matching shirts!

Joel - thank you for being such a wonderful Daddy to our sweet babes, I see how much you love them and how much they love and adore you.   Our kids have been, and will continue to be, so fortunate to have such an outstanding role model for their Dad!  xoxoxo

Kolton's First Steps!!!

After many weeks of Kolton seeming to be on the brink of walking  - today (June 7, 2012) was the day he took off and walked!!

And none of this 'taking-one-or-two-steps' for him, his very first attempt and he walked half way across Kailie's room.  Kailie, Kolton and I were just playing a bit in Kailie's room and after helping Kolton stand up he just decided to toddle along all on his own.  After 'performing' for Kailie and I a few times Kolton decided he had had enough and wouldn't take another step . . . . until Daddy got home when he started walking like he had been doing it for weeks!!

It's been a very exciting day and we were all very excited to be around for this milestone.

As different as my sweet babies are, they both took their first steps at (almost) exactly the same time!!  Kolton took his first steps just one day earlier than Kailie did - pretty amazing that they were so close.  Kailie has spent quite a bit of time holding Kolton's hands while he practiced his walking so that's probably why he edged her out by a day ;-)

The fun just keeps on coming . . . . !
