Kelowna Trip

We just returned from a nice trip to Kelowna. The girls had a great time at Grandpa's house. They also loved seeing Uncle Marzi and Auntie Jaynie, swimming in the pool, and visiting with friends.


Reading a book with Uncle. Sitting in their new Minnie Mouse chairs from Uncle Marzi and Auntie Jaynie.


Eating peaches and ice cream.


Playing piano with Grandpa.

Eileen and Karis.




Here's the beautiful smile that we've been telling people about! 


Eating at the "poolside restaurant".



Eating Auntie Jaynie's strawberry shortcake... delicious!


Ella and Juju even saw a deer out their bedroom window! 






We visited Moo-Lix ice cream. Momma worked her first job at Moo-Lix scooping ice cream when she was in high school. The girls ate bubble gum ice cream while Dadda went golfing.



Grandpa Rob came to visit us and play some golf.



The girls loved playing with Grandpa's watering cans and the hose. They made sure his plants were very well watered. One was so well-cared for that it remained flooded for the whole trip.









We celebrated our friend Kai's first birthday! Momma has been friends with Kai's mom for her whole life and we were most likely at each other's 1st birthday party's as well.





Even Karis got her feet wet in the pool.




Kai came over for a play date and enjoyed using the hose as well.

6 Weeks!

Last Thursday, Karis turned 6 weeks old! This morning she smiled for the first time. It is such a fun stage when they start to become more aware and interact a little more.



Six weeks is also a big milestone for Momma's c-section recovery. It means that I can go running... and even more importantly, I can pick up Juliette and Ella again (that is what I've missed the most)!

Sharing Ice Cream


The girls enjoyed sharing their first ice cream cone

Camping

We spent the past few days camping at Golden Ears. Overall, it was a really good trip. Ella and Juliette had trouble sleeping the first night, but they slept really well the next two nights. Karis slept well all 3 nights. It was lots of fun to go camping as a family of 5!
