the A files...

well I had to laugh, in all this olympic fever Kev was so excited to watch the hockey game tonight. During the intermission he flipped to whatever else was on, it happened to be men's figure skating. You remember, if you got my Christmas letter, that despite KEv's best efforts to interest our firstborn son in the game of hockey, Jaden resists. He seems to have no interest!! And Kev has tried to be enthusiastic about Jaden's love for other things, like music and books. Kev doesn't mind the idea of his son being an academic or a talented musician. :) But it was adding insult to injury when Jaden announced tonight that he likes figure skating more than hockey!! You can imagine Kev's dismay. Poor guy. I think Jaden was enjoying the music during the performance, that must have been why.

Here follows a random post, the last few months as documented by Ashleigh. I tell you, she deserves the SLR more than i. She definitely takes more pics. But then we wouldn't get the video contributions, which are always fun to upload. We have enjoyed quite a few visits to St. T, over the recent holidays.

and quite a few visits from the studious Uncle Steve

and his lovely daughter Sierra :)
(haha, she is completely adorable but this is the best pic that Ashleigh had of her. :) )

and a delightful week with the cousins, when their brother was born in December...

i miss sledding!! it has been a strange winter!

you can see the roof of our house from this pic :)

Jaden was so thrilled with this gift.

One of the many holiday feasts. :)

the only picture she snapped at John & Michele's wedding (I have pics to come of that though, on my camera!)

we had quite a lovely tree this year, i thought!

a quick shopping trip to Home Depot

sweet Faithie

Joshua's buddy who always gets him from the babysit for me :)

another backwards sequence...

our impressive towers don't last long with the boys around :) (i am comforted however that despite preferring figure skating to hockey, and trying on princess dresses, our boys spend most of their time in very normal boyish ways :) )

sweet Trent

having fun at Aunt Lori's

adorable Mags

and here are a couple of videos :)

i should clarify that Jaden thought he was making up a name for that truck at the very end of this video, he wasn't trying to be lewd...we have since re-named the truck "Scooby"
