Grandma and Grandpa's Visit

For the September long weekend, Grandma and Grandpa Knelsen came for a quick visit. We did a day trip to St. Jacob, went on a harbour cruise, and just hung out. Grandma baked up a storm which left us with yummy buns and cookies. We were sad to see them go and look forward to seeing them at Christmas.

First Day of School September 2016

Farm August 2016

It has become our tradition that every other summer we spend a week at the Olfert farm. The kids had a blast hanging out with their cousins and enjoying the freedom that comes with farm life. We had a huge scare at the end of our trip when Jared fell out of the barn loft onto the cement pad below. Miraculously, he landed on his feet and didn't break any bones. He limped for a few weeks afterwards; however, is now back to his active self.

Jared is 5!

Our sweet little baby is 5. He has grown and developed so much this past year. He loves hugs and gives the best cuddles (although he does not like kisses :). He makes friends where ever he goes, no matter age or gender. He loves to scooter and is determined to ride his bike without training wheels now that he is 5. He enjoys playing lego, playing and collect pokemon cards, trains, and anything make believe. In all his adventures,  his bunny and brother are always close by.

For his party we had Pawsitively Pets come over. He and his friends loved learning about the different animals. We also had a BBQ and some party games. A wonderful way to celebrate his birthday. For his birthday diner he asked to go to Seven Numbers, a local Italian restaurant that serves the best meatballs.  We ended the weekend celebration by spending some family time at the local beach.
