Its a Girl!

I think we've pretty much told everyone, but baby #5 is a girl! Here are some photos Austin got of the ultrasound a few weeks ago:

Our Trip Home

We had an extremely busy two weeks in Colorado, Idaho, and Utah visiting family and friends. We visited lots of fun places, ate at yummy restaurants that aren't in Canada, shopped at stores that aren't in Canada, and hung out with people we love. I took tons of pictures, so I had to sort them down to some of my favorite. I didn't get pictures of everything, but I got a lot. We loved being home for two weeks, we just missed Austin and I have to admit it was exhausting!

The kids loved spending so much time with their cousins acting very silly! We went to the Denver Museum of Science and Natural History

 

 

 

We went to Casa Bonita (A Mexican restaurant in Denver that has terrible food, but is much loved by kids (and my husband) for its atmosphere including waterfall divers, fake gorillas, mariachi, caves, and an arcade.

Visited the Denver zoo, including riding on the train and the carrosel. Leif was quite happy that there were elephants there, since the Toronto zoo is lacking such a terrific animal.

 

 

 

 

We ate at a 50s diner where the kids got to have ice cream shakes with their meal.

We ate Donuts at a Fort Collins bakery near Grandma and Grandpa's house

 

We looked at the moon, planets, and stars through Grandpa's telescope
