Quinn






Quinn had a field trip to the marine caverns and sea lion show at West Edmonton Mall. First he had the opportunity to meet Doug the penguin (who is on the telus commercials). Then the kids could go and touch a starfish and sting ray...Quinn didn't want anything to do with that at first, but eventually conceded to touch the starfish. Finally they saw Benny the sea lion in action. It was a really funny show and really had the kids entertained. Too bad it was -42C that day!!! the school bus ride was a little chilly.

Hunter





Hunter meets the african penguin named Skadoo at his preschool. He was so excited to hug the penguin and was a little disappointed when they told the kids they could not touch the penguin...oh well, he thoroughly enjoyed it anyhow.

Caden's Baptism





Caden's baptism was held today at St.John the Evangelist church with Karen and Steven named as godparents. The baptism was pretty comical, one lady came up and told me afterward it was the funniest baptism she has ever seen. While up at the font with Father Oscar, he was doing what he called an exorcism to Caden, and while he was blessing him, Caden proceeded to make the loudest dinosaur noises he could possibly make...he truly sounded possessed. Then, while the father was pouring the water over Caden's head, he kept trying to grab the shell and knock the water out of his hand. He then started to get mad about the whole water thing, so big brother Hunter stepped up to the plate to tell Father to stop doing that to his brother because he didn't like it. As Hunter was saying this and stepping forward he cracked his head on the font...and boy did he cry. So there is the Father trying to speak over Hunter crying, Caden and his dinasaur noises..and shan and I trying not to burst into laughter. At least Father Oscar thought it was funny as well.

Anyhow, overall it was a wonderful ceremony.


Family and friends help celebrate Caden's special day!! We had a wonderful afternoon of visiting and playing with a house full of family, friends and neighbours.
