We took Keir skating again just after Xmas.
He used the red skating "helper" which lets kids learn skating by giving them something that supports their weight.
It was a nice day temperature wise and he really enjoyed himself.

Keir was able to stand by himself this year when we went skating.
Last year I don't think he had the strength to stand by himself.
He managed to skate/walk by himself for little chunks of time

Happy New Yea

Well OK so it is a little late to be wishing Happy New Year.
We had a nice Xmas break even though Jenny, Keir and Isla were all sick at one point over the holidays (my mom got really sick as well!)
I have a bunch of Xmas pics that I haven't had time to go through yet. I will post them soon
Here is a Xmas gift for you, a little late :-)
It is a blog entry from Simon Whitfeild for all you parents out there I am sure you can relate!
Funny Simon Story
Simon Whitfield won the first ever gold medal in triathlon at the 2000 olympics.

That is all for now
Take care

Isla decided she wanted to play with Keir's Thomas toys.
Isla seems to think she is a lot older than she really is.

Keir had a clown come to his daycare on the last day before Xmas holidays.
The clown made a Spiderman hat(the red balloon is spiderman)
The kids really enjoyed the clown

As mentioned in the running picture below, we have had a snow storm (actually we have had several big snow storms already this year)
The snow banks are huge on our street.
They are even bigger since this photo was taken.
They are taller than I am (so 6ft plus), I know cause when I shovel I got to get the snow WAY up there!

This is what you look like when you come back from running in a snow storm in Canada. 40cm of snow and -20degrees but it was lots of fun!

These are a little late, but a couple of weekends ago my Mum's office had their kids X-mas party, it was at Scotia Bank Place (the place where the Ottawa Senators (pro hockey) play)
Keir got to "skate" on the ice and by skate I mean me hold him up. Actually he did very well.
It was pretty neat to skate on the ice in a 18,000 seat arena!
Thanks to Gran for getting us in!
Keir and Daddy on the ice!
