Canada Friends

Kylie spends quite a bit of time with other babies. There are six kids at her daycare, four of whom are less than a year old. Kylie is the youngest of these babies* and I am told she is very social and loves to join in songs, stories, or whatever activity her friends are doing. It has been fun to watch this type of interaction firsthand on a couple of recent occassions. The first of these was when our friends Caleb & Tisha were in Nebraska visiting family, and they were able to fit in a few hours with us Sunday afternoon before flying back to Calgary.

*Update: as of the week after this post, Kylie is no longer the youngest at daycare. A two-month old baby girl puts the total at 7 kids, and there is only one boy in the mix. Lucky little guy! I'm sure they keep Jennie & Connie very busy.

Ryan may or may not have bribed his goddaughter
into giving him hugs. She looks thrilled!

Tegan was a trooper even though he wasn't feeling good

So much fun playing with the babes!

Cadyn did a great job reading to Kylie

As it turned out, the snowstorm that surprised us that day kept their plane grounded until Monday night, which in turn gave us a little extra time together. Unfortunately, it didn't keep us home from work that day so we couldn't enjoy the time as much as we would have liked. It is always wonderful to catch up with Caleb & Tisha and see their growing bubs. 

Thanks to Tisha for capturing these pictures of my baby doll.

Can't get enough of those baby blues!

Love my super-smiley girl

Our friend Jonathan (who also happens to be our neighbor as of this past summer, when he and wife Chelsea bought a house about 2 blocks from us) came over to watch Kylie while I took the TS family to the airport Monday evening. He got her to sleep and demonstrated his best Kylie impression! It is nice to know we have friends close when we need a cup of sugar, or an emergency babysitter.
