Happy Father's Day!

Gwen had her 7 month check up this week. She weighed in at 21 lbs and about 27" tall. She is doing well :) She's had a habit lately of getting me up at about 5 or 6 am to eat and giggle then going back to sleep and sleeping in until 930...would be great if Cara wasn't getting up at 7:30. Sweet sleep, I miss you!

Cara is being a sweetie pie. We had rain a lot this week so we had to stay in a play.

On Saturday we went to the Calgary Expo 2011. Cara and Daddy met Chewbacca and a couple of Storm Troopers.

We saw alot of celebrity guests (a couple of people of Battlestar Gallactica, Tia Carrere and Linda Blair) and many folks dressed up. Cara liked Optimus Prime and loved seeing Belle from Beauty and the Beast!

The highlight of the day was meeting Jonathan Frakes (Commander William T Riker from Star Trek TNG). We waited in a very long line for over an hour. Cara and Gwen were the only kids in the line and they both were very good - no crying at all!!! Cara kept saying "where's Riker?" He is a very nice guy and didn't rush anyone by even though the line was huge. Maybe we'll adopt him - he fits into our family portrait so well ;)

Last year Cara met R2D2 and this year she got to introduce Gwen!

Daddy had a great Father's Day!
Cara and Gwen made him a shirt and hat with their handprints on them. He wore it with pride :)

#1 Daddy
We went to the playground and Daddy snuggled with Gwen while Cara ran around playing.

Cara had so much fun playing!

Daddy with his girls :)

Ending the day with some Mario Kart on the Wii.

Happy Father's Day to all the fathers in our lives - we love you!!!

  2. The T-shirt is great! If it had buttons, they'd burst off with pride! Thanks for keeping up with new files for my Grandchildren's Directory! These shots are great! In just over 2 months I will get to meet Gwen for the first time! -- Grampy
