Visit to Edmonton

It was a long day of travelling to get to Edmonton...

...but it was worth it. Nathan and I had a great time visiting friends and family for two weeks. Alex even made a special trip up to Edmonton for the Oct. 4th weekend to attend a friend's wedding. The reaction from Yves, when Alex showed up unannounced to his wedding was priceless. There's no need to mention the fact that tears were shed. Oops! Congrats Yves and Amanda. The visit seemed way to short, but we had a great time. Nathan got to go swimming with his aunts and cousins, as well as ride a bunch of rides at West Edmonton's Galaxy Land.

Nathan even got to celebrate his birthday yet again, with a birthday cake and lots of presents. Thank you everyone for the gifts. Nathan plays with it all.

New Hair Cut

Nathan had his first professional hair cut today, and needless to say the hairdresser finally got most of it cut. Nathan cried the entire ordeal. I had to hold his head against my face while she cut one side, and then we switched. The whole thing took maybe 10 minutes, but I bet it's 10 minutes Nathan would not like to live again. Perhaps in 6 months or so.

We also went for a visit to Tif and Noah's to help Tif celebrate her birthday. Here's Nathan playing outside with Noah and a couple of dogs, Sweetie and Aero.

Here is a video of Nathan trying to use his fork to eat. He's got the concept, but gets a little frustrated. Just watch and see his finale.
