Anyone recognize this famous person? Hint: Canadian music. Put your guess in the comments.

Hi Ty! Nice to meet you!

Whoa! Big doggie!

Welcome to Canada!

We made it back safe and sound. Gemma was a great traveller, praise the Lord, and everything went smoothly. She slept a lot, played and colored a lot and enjoyed yummy snacks.

So far we've seen my sister and bro-in-law, and my nephew Ty. They met us at the airport in Calgary for dinner and some play time. We landed in Saskatoon at 11:30ish, saw Baba and Grandma and Grandpa, played at Baba's until 1:30am and then Gemma slept until 3:30 this afternoon. She conked out in the car on the way home from a friends house now (about 8:40) so hopefully this will be her bedtime and not just a nap. Ha, we'll see. We were at Shelen and Mat's place, checked out the Flames room and played with Ian and Kaitlyn.

Gemma is looking for playdates, we'll begin making our rounds here this week as we want to see as many of you as possible. Call us at Brenda's!

Funny New Word

OK, Gemma's funniest new word is... K. It is so funny how she has begun to talk like we talk. Like I'll say, Ok, put your shoes on, and she says, "K". Or, Let's go to Auntie and Uncles house. "K" She says it all the time and it is really hilarious. She just loves to be a part of things.

Last night we went to a friend's birthday party, and she had to bring her toolbox and sunscreen. I think Chris got a picture of us leaving, we'll see.

Big Girl Bed

So Gemma has transitioned into big girl bed with no trouble. The legs aren't put on so it is very close to the floor. She really likes it, actually, she likes to go into her room and sit on it, read there, pretend its sleep time. And at night she doesn't even want to be rocked in the rocking chair; she wants to lay in her bed. She has slept through the entire since she's been in it. well, last night she woke up crying, but I just went in and sat beside her, patted her for a minute and she went back to sleep.

And before you think its amazing that she stays in her bed, I lay with her until she is almost asleep. And she has a late bedtime; by the time we put her in bed she is pooped and wants to sleep:)
