corn kid

Not much to say, I just took this video tonight that I wanted to share it. Kate has taken a liking to eating corn on the cob lately. Well tonight as she watched me prepare dinner she grabbed a cob (still raw) and got busy. Hope you enjoy. Mom - see you in 2 sleeps.

a picture is worth a thousand words

So I am going to let the picture tell most of the story of our weekend 'cause I don't have that many nice words. Let me say this, our first camping trip of the season out to Grand Manan (an island in the Bay of Fundy) wasn't exactly what we had hoped for. Rain, waiting for Ferries, tears, sick baby, more rain and more tears. Grand Manan was gorgeous though, and we did have a day of sun - unfortunately that was the day Kate was really ill. So enough said, here are some pictures:

Waiting for the Ferry from Black Harbour. Kate's healthy here just pooped.

The ferry port.

The office at our Provincial Park campsite.

Getting cozy in front of the fire.

Blowing on the fire.

It's Lupin season all over the Maritimes.

Hard to see - but this is a fisheries' corral (of some sort??)

A breathtaking lookout of the lighthouse that was lit up and blowing warnings through the fog.

Closer up.

A buoy covered house with piles of character.

North Head warf.

I hope the sun shined somewhere this weekend.

XOXO Jorgensen Sandwich

happy

"Happy" made it to the word wall today at DayCare thanks to Kate. She was happy and wanted to show it after listening to the song this morning and I guess she said it all day long. It's a brand new word for Kate and that makes us happy.

Fudgeeos also make Kate happy - although she's only ever had one. Here is Kate showing off her Fudgeeo and her walking skills. 2 weeks later she's walking great. I hope you enjoy! Aimee

happy birthday grandpa

It's my Dad's 57th birthday today and wanted to wish him all the best. Unfortunately the best won't include us this year. We miss you, your hugs, your home made perogies and your birthday cake! Rhonda will be delivering a gift to you from us Jorgensens later but we thought we would send you a bit of sunshine and Spring seeing that Calgary is experiencing another snowfall.

Love you Dad, George, Grandpa.

XOXO - Bob, Doug and Aimee

farewell friend

We said good bye to Carolyn early Sunday morning but I wanted to thank her so much for coming. Carolyn we had such a lovely visit I didn't want it to end. With that said, I'm sure Jude was very happy to see you.

Carolyn definitely got more and better photos but I thought I would share the few highlights I have from her visit:

The beautiful Birthday girl with the head of the Ship and our dinner.

My turn.

Dinner is served.

Meem coaxing Kate over with a baby. I think Carolyn got the photo of Kate actually with Meem.

Kate, her Pappa and her baby.

My new favorite photo of our big girls. No babies here. Kate was a lucky girl this Saturday and had a visit with her cousins while we took Carolyn on a whirlwind tour of the island. Thanks Aunty!

Next visitor... my Mom. Mom the count down is on - we can't wait!

Lots of love, Aimee

mish mash

Today was a quiet day at home - we were planning on heading to the beach again but the weather just wouldn't agree. So we watched Kate practice walking outside. She is quite hilarious determined but really playing up the "umfs" and "oofs".

Tomorrow is Carolyn's big 4-0! Happy early birthday. In the evening she and I are heading out on a Lobster Cruise. Yeah. If only I could mix the boat and lobster with some beer. I guess it's not too long now.

Here are a few photos from the past days:

Kate's first day at the beach this year.

Carolyn's first visit to the Atlantic ocean.

Me and my girl. We are going to be very busy this summer - Kate had no fear with regards to the water. I can't wait to be three months bigger trying to keep up.

My babes and the Shediac lobster.

Kate perfecting her new stacking skills.

Little Miss Personality.

Have a great day everyone!

look who's walking

Maybe it was the beach air, or it was the arrival of our friend Carolyn but Kate got busy walking today. Congratulations little lady! We're so proud of you. Take a look:

We've had a great visit with Carolyn so far and are thrilled she's here. We adults went out last night and Kate had a babysitter, then we went to Parlee beach today to walk off Cody and Carolyn's slight hangovers. And we have big things planned for the rest of the week including boats, lobsters, the Hopewell Rocks, PEI and lots more.

Calgary enjoy your 30 degrees tomorrow!
