Living in a house with four small children has brought back many fun memories for both of us. Every day I am reminded of something we used to say or do. I remember playing with the baby and being mommy's little helper, but for Ben, a lot of these memories are vague ones. Since he was the baby we played with, he has little recollection of that phase of family life. We both had a feeling this was going to be a new experience for him...and boy were we right! He has done great with it though. He jumped right in to the role of being the latest and greatest climbing tower, baby stroller, book reader, toddler husher, bucking bronco, bottle feeder...(and the list goes on) I think it has been a lot of fun for him. We definitely both have a new appreciation for the many faithful souls (namely our parents) who spent countless hours feeding our imaginations and playing with us!
The Davis children share Ben's love for books.
This seems to be a favorite pass-time for all of them.
My what a pretty...kitty cat?
There were actually cougar warnings in the neighborhood last week.
Imagine opening the back door to find one of those guys in your trash can!!!
"It's crying, how do you make it stop?"
...Ben making do with what he's got to keep baby Bella happy.
Anyone for a hike around the lake?
Don't forget those little legs won't make it without a little help!
After a day of playing together, I think they are going to be fast friends.
They seem to have a better understanding of each other...
...at least, I think they do!
Welcome to Canada! I look forward to reading more of your posts over the summer. We're in Manitoba, but are heading to Red Deer Alberta this week to visit our new grand baby....unfortunately we won't be getting as far as Hinton.
