Pirates and Dinosaurs

Zachary's 3rd birthday will be remembered as the birthday he was crazy for pirates and dinosaurs.


What a weekend!  Friday we had cake with Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts and Uncles and then Saturday we had a party with all Zachary's friends.  It was a busy weekend but a lot of fun.

My mom built amazing pirate ships out of cardboard for all the kids to play in.

This is my favourite picture.  My 75 year old grandma dressed up and playing with Zachary in his pirate ship.

Thanks to everyone who came out to help us celebrate.  We are so lucky to have such great family and friends who helped to make our Zachary feel so special on his birthday.


Happy Monday!

Elliott @ 7 Months

I am a little late on this one but I know you will forgive me.


Last week Elliott turned 7 months.  Here are a few pictures.

He is somewhere between 21 and 22 lbs (haven't been to the hospital to weigh him yet this month) and about 30 inches long.  He has 6 big teeth!


This month he has really developed his own little personality and has learned a lot of fun tricks.
