Belle’s First Birthday and a Visit from Grandmama and Grandpapa Tousignant

This also happens to be the 101st blog post that I’ve made on here, so that seems pretty appropriate. Two days before Belle’s birthday, I picked Guy and Shirley up from the airport. We had a fantastic visit with them as they helped us prepare the house and they did a fantastic job of distracting […]

Hanging Around in the New Year

Here are just some shots of what we’ve been up to in the New Year.

Babies Everywhere!

The day after Boxing Day, we all trooped over to Wayne and Chelsea’s new place, where we met up with the Vickers, the Kupiaks and Kathleen and Brian. Belle, Luke and Molly all got to hang out again for the second time in their lives and it was great to watch them all interact. Thanks […]

Christmas!

Belle’s first Christmas was well spent in the Yuletide wonderland that is the Tousignant home. She was contending with slap cheek, but was still a charmer, and we all had a fantastic time. She was well spoiled, and we left with two extra suitcases full of prezzies for her (and some for us too). Luckily […]

Pre-Christmas In Edmonton

A few days before Christmas, we had a little mini Christmas here in Edmonton. With presents from my parents, my sister and Brian, and Katie and Craig, we had a good pile of loot (mostly for Belle) to go through.

Wintery December

So I’m way behind in posts, so this should be the first of a few over the next little while. These are just some shots from around the house of Belle doin’ what she does, some of Scott’s visit (he came out so we could catch the Canucks play the Oilers – great time!) and […]

A Visit from Craig and Katie

A week after Kathleen and Brian’s visit, Craig and Katie dropped by for the weekend! Our first stop was the West Edmonton Mall so we could hit the waterpark. We had a great time on the slides, while Belle splashed around in the wave pool and the hottub. After dinner in the mall and a […]

A Visit from Aunt Kathleen and Uncle Brian

Last month Kathleen and Brian came for a visit! It worked out very conveniently, since Brian was finishing up a rotation in Calgary and they were able to pop up afterwards. We had a great time eating tons of garlic (mmmmm roast garlic on baguette, and mussels in white wine and garlic), relaxing around the […]

Our Little Velociraptor

So Belle isn’t saying much, but she can roar!

All Hallow’s Eve

We picked up Belle’s costume months ago, since we knew it was a gooder. We considered the girly costumes at the Disney Store first, but figured that she’ll be all about those when she’s older, and we wanted the giraffe. We popped by some friends’ places the night before Halloween since Michelle had to work […]
