First Flight - 7 Months, 1 Day (4 May 2009)


William flew like a seasoned traveler between Montreal (YUL) and San Francisco (SFO). The empty seat between us added to everyone's comfort.

Sunday Stroll - 12 April 2009


William "walks" with the kind assistance of tall(er)-folk.

Montreal, China - 11 April 2009


The Botanical Garden is 2 km from our home. Within the garden is a Chinese Park. We emerged from our igloo and took the short dog-sled ride to celebrate Spring's fashionably late entrance. In the distance is the Olympic Tower. It's a landmark to "home."

Aunt (Tati) Nelly - 8 April 2009


William met his Aunt Nelly this week - love at first site for both of them.

April 2009 - 6 months means motor skills


He seems to master a new skill faster than we can photograph!

Jean-Michel's Funeral Service


Philippe's brother Jean-Michel passed away peacefully 24 March 2009. He was diagnosed more than 25 years ago with Leukemia. Each day was a borrowed blessing. We gathered as a family to honor him on 28 March. Pictured are: Anne (Anne's daughter) Patrick, Anne, Leandre, Maman, William, Rachel, Philippe, Sarah, Amaya & Eve.

A Perfect 10 Dressed to the 9's


So happy, so handsome...
Aunt Leah and I have had "adjoined" closets for years. In our teen years we composed "Hot Date Outfits - HDO's" William's HDO is smokin' thanks again to Leah's lending. (If only you could see the grey pin striping detail on the socks and patten-leather shoes!)

So close to crawling


It occurs to me that when he does crawl he'll be a bit like lightening.

Hmmm teeth!


William stands up to show the world his teeth are coming!

Mother's Group


On Thursdays we meet for Mother's Group. Pictured are Sarah-Abigail(6 mo) with her Mom, Rose, William (5 mo) with his Mom, Rachel, Khalil (4 mo) with his Mom, Cassandra. It's great to compare where we've been and where we are going!

Cloning?


I made a card for my father-in-law with this picture - Philippe was 6 months when it was taken. There's a striking (by striking I mean - wow if Father and Son are clones, pregnancy was quite a chore ;-) resemblance.

4 Months Old - Hanging with the Big Boys


Elder Allen from California and Elder Wight from Idaho came for dinner. William, as always, made pleasant conversation. Elder Wight was hesitant to take the photo because he hadn't shaved. William hadn't either. I like the tag...

William is 3 months old today! He had to go shopping with Mom... - 3 Jan. 2009

W: Ah... boring
W: Enough shoes, let me go home Mom!
W: Mom! We've seen all the stores, let's get out of here!

W: Finally after 2.5 hours we're heading home, and Mom didn't buy any shoes. She got sweaters though...

Afternoon at our friends François, Brigitte and little Emma - 2 Jan. 2009
