Our happy boy walked today for the first time. He is setting a record for the Macrae babies. Ethan walked at 18 months, Sophie at 15 months, and Levi at 10 1/2 months!

Sweethearts!!!

Lee and I had a wonderful weekend away at a marriage retreat in Cache Creek. We were so grateful to have time alone together. No diapers, timelines ,or worries, just eachother! Thanks very much to Granny and Grandpa for looking after our three kids. They drove all the way from Victoria to Calgary for this weekend.

Thanksgiving dinner

A bit of a late post, but we had a great thanksgiving dinner! Our good friends Kristy, Derek, and Joel joined us for my first official turkey dinner. Look at how good that gravy turned out. Ha Ha

Our Three Cuties!

The Burning Nipple

We had quite a bit of excitement the other day! We could smell a very strong burning odor. After searching up in our house, we thought that we would check the basement suite. The tenants were out and so we felt that we should call the fire department just to be safe. Just as we made the call, Lee found out what had been burning. As you can tell from the picture, a nipple had fallen inside the dishwasher and was burning on the element. The guys were very understanding and agreed to a picture with the kids. This picture does not give the moment justice. Ethan's face was beaming like I had never seen before. Good story eh?

Our little carrot top!

Ethan turns 4!!!

We had an orange party. Everyone was wearing orange. Even the cupcakes had orange cream cheese icing! Ethan has already planned out that his next birthday color will be red.

Ethan's first day at preschool!!!

Soother girl

Sophie is having a hard time giving up her soother habit. Can you tell?

Chillin in my Bumbo!

Uncle Rob came over last week for a visit. The kids as you can see had a blast with uncle "Wob". I over heard Ethan and Rob playin a game. Ethan said,"Uncle Wob, I will be the pirate and you can be the treasure". Since Rob has left, Sophie calls me Uncle mom! Oh how cute.

Sprinkler Time!

A beautiful day with the Goffs in the Alberta Country side

Ethan and I like to play I spy together. It was his turn. After two minutes of silence, Ethan said" I spy with my little eye something that looks like a tree". I had to turn away and chuckle.

The kids and I at Prince's Island Park.

Runway material?

Thunder

While the kids were enjoying some pool time, a thunder storm suprised them! As you can see their reactions differed greatly.

Leaving the nest?

I caught our very independent Sophie girl leaving home. After letting her know that Kraft dinner was waiting for her at the table, she ran inside!

I can sit up!!!
