Look at this 6 week old chubba! Her cheeks are getting so full, so are her little thighs. Yummy!

Make It Perfect
Yesterday we went to Nan and Pop’s for a visit. It was a beautiful sunny day. Fil and Cade came over to tell us that they were helping shovel sand over Nan and Pop’s lawn with some other family members so that new grass could be sown and Nan and Pop could have nice grass for the summer, so we decided to tag along.
Pop – the grand overseer!
Cade and Oscar hard at work
Uncle Kim – wanted to give Oscar a ride in the wheelbarrow, but Oscar wasn’t so sure!
Aunty Margaret – she always looks stunning!
Filipa – since coming home from Africa she has taken a position working at Tom’s Log Homes & Cabins! Fits the tradeswoman role, don’t you think??
Almost finished
Aunty Margaret found Oscar this little spade to dig with – better than the pitchfork he found which could have gone through his foot…
How random and cool is this cobweb covered chair in the greenhouse?
Another sweet little girl has been born into our family…Carli gave birth to this little treasure on Sunday afternoon. In true Carli and Winston style, still deciding on a name! Can’t wait to see more photos and meet you little girl!
