I can sit up now!

Here's Christian at six months sitting up on his own.

Christian Again

In his new highchair.

Hey, Where's the food?

Webster Falls

Tews Falls

New Camera

Here I am back on Blogger. My two-year-old Sony camera bit the dust - the LCD screen failed, and since I didn't have an extended warranty, it was not worthwhile to have it fixed. So much for Sony quality!

This is a cheap Pentax, and in some ways it is better than the Sony.

Here are Colleen and Christian

Heather's Shower

Colleen and I went to a shower for my niece, Heather.

A Day in the Park

Colleen and Scott took Christian to the park today. He tried some real "big boy" stuff.

Off to a Good Start

Is that wine all for me?

Fonthill Hike

Yesterday, Lydia and I went with the Bruce Trail Club for a hike in the Fonthill area. Not many plants are up yet, but we saw these skunk cabbages, plus a few scyllas and snowdrops.

Easter Dinner

Here we are having an early dinner before Brendan and Amie have to go back to Ottawa.

Brock Alumni Curling Team

On March 31, Brendan and his friends competed in a Curling Tournament at Brock University.

The won a prize for best costumes.

Brendan, Baby and Bunny

Here's Christian with Uncle Brendan and the Easter Bunny.

April Snow

We woke up this morning to a light covering of snow. I hope my early tulips don't mind.

Christian in his Jolly Jumper

My co-worker, Heather, loaned us a Jolly Jumper that her son no longer needs. Christian loved it right from the start.

It's hard to believe that he is only a bit over four months old.

Grimsby Author Series

First some wine and some snacks (provided by Vineland Estates) Here are Wendy, Irmgard and Ruth.





Then some music performed by "Quarter Past Two"

Then the main event. C. S. Richardson spoke about his new book: The End of the Alphabet, and Wayson Choy spoke about his career and read from his last book: All That Matters. Here they are autographing their books.

Niagara Parks Greenhouse

Here's a nice patch of Schizanthus, part of a display of spring flowers at the Niagara Parks Greenhouse.

I've missed a couple of weeks!

Here's Christian when he was at my place on March 12. He's coming again today, so maybe there will be some more pictures soon!

Canada Blooms

Yesterday, Eb and I went to Toronto to see the big garden show.

The high point for me was seing Rick Mercer and his TV crew making a segment about the show. Here he is talking to a fan.

Christian at three and a half months

Here's the little guy somewhat slipping down into his overalls.

Colleen sent me this one today, and it is so cute I had to put it on

Christian and his Grandma

Here I am with Christian at his house. I am still wearing my "work clothes" because I often go to Niagara Falls directly from the library.
