Great Grand Parents - Aston

Ken and Doreen have been a great help in holding the fort with the two boys while Alexys was born. Today, was a day to actually spend some time with the new great grandchild and of course hold her. Carmella, Tracy's mother-in-law prepared a wonderful lunch at Tracy's home, Wenda helped with the household chores and we all came together as a family to help give Tracy a bit of time to recuperate a bit.

Alexys Faith has Arrived

After much deliveration, Alexys has made her debut. It was an unusual birth for sure not what Tracy was expecting; however, she is healthy passed her first test with a score of nine and getting some colour now. She was bruised on the head and face, but that should go away in a few days. The boys were glad to see her and have had a visit their new sister at the hospital in Cobourg already. Alexys weighed 7 lb 7.9 oz and was 19 and 3/4 inches in length.

Tramp Tricks

Aiden was anxious to show off some of his tricks on the trampoline today. He did this and tried a 360 spin but that did not go as well. Kids enjoyed playing outside today as mommy rested for the big event.

Quinten Drives The Quadrunner

We were surprised to see Quinten sit on the quadrunner and activate the pedal ... he was at the low speed mode but still had trouble with the steering as he headed right for the fence. I guess he has been watching his older brother drive this rig quite a bit.

Future Football Star

I was so surprised to see Aiden throw the football today. I guess in the order of 3 out of 4 throws were straight and a perfect spiral. I can't throw that ball as well as he does.
Now he wants to play football all the time. I'm thinking hmmm football scolarships in the US are pretty good. Lets play some football kid!

Hay Wagon

I noticed that Quinten was stripping off handfuls of hay from the bale to put into his wagon and haul it about. After a while, they were putting it through the fence to feed the cows. Ahhh, life on a farm !

The Caterpillar

Today Aiden discovered a caterpillar and gently picked it up. After a few moments of sharing it with his brother, the caterpillar was placed on the leaves of our vine to munch away.
