Look at me!

Amanda was very excited to wear her new jumper to school.

Early Christmas

Amanda enjoyed a pre-Canada Christmas. She opened gifts from the Reeds, Grammie & Dickie, as well as Mom & Dad.











She enjoyed taking care of her "little sister" in her new bassinet, car seat and stroller.































Penguin towel and soccer ball were hits as well.

Christmas Cookies

Amanda and Dakota carefully frosted their snowmen.


















Look at my snowman!!


















Reflecting on a job well done...












...and enjoying the finished product!

Christmas in the sun

Amanda was a natural on the ice, must be the Canadian blood!


















She got close enough to Santa to tell him she wanted a red car, but at least she didn't cry!












Amanda was very serious about decorating the tree, and she did a great job!

Fun times!

All covered up! Amanda put Penguin, Baby and herself to bed.












This year washing the car, next year, mowing the lawn!


















I wanna drive a Zamboni. Amanda's first hockey game, and of course, Daddy took her down to the ice to check it all out.

















And what's a hockey game without some cute Canadian boys!! Everyone is in their Canada-gear. Where we live, this is as close to a Canadian cultural event as you can get.

More Halloween...

Before the hunt, hanging out with Dakota.













Check out that technique--going for the big handful of candy.

Halloween Apples...ask Randy...

Our beautiful Cinderella!
















The neighborhood girls had a great night together.












At the end of the night, we all enjoyed a lollipop!

Pumpkin Patch

Amanda had a great time picking out some pumpkins at the pumpkin patch. Now, if it would only start to feel like fall here!

Best Buds!

Always fun times with Dakota!

Always Having Fun!

Amanda was all smiles in her igloo with Charlie & Dakota.













Cuddle time with Daddy!












Big girl in her uniform.




















My pal Charlie!

Big Girl

Check out Amanda's fancy dress up shoes!!

Fun at home

Amanda has cute bangs after her haircut.


















Eating pizza, starting from the crust.












All smiles with Daddy!

Summer Fun

Can you say "teenage blackmail"!!
That's Elmo's potty she is only pretending to use.

















Hanging out with Charlie.













Amanda's first sucker (that I know about...)


















Lazy Saturday, cereal and the paper.
