It’s been a long time since I’ve posted here, which definitely does not mean I haven’t been taking pictures. Quite the opposite in fact. I’ve been taking so many that just dealing with them takes up a lot of my time, and I haven’t gotten around to posting anything here for your enjoyment. Because it’s been raining here for days, and because I really do need to catch up, I will be posting a few albums over the next few days.

Here are a bunch of pictures from Andrew’s birthday party. Although it was a relatively low key affair (we just had some friends and family over for dinner), it really was quite a large event. It’s amazing how much bigger parties are when all your friends have 2 kids!

The kids had a great time playing games and riding their bikes in the alley. Andrew was a happy kid all day and had lots of fun watching all the commotion going on around him. He also really enjoyed his chocolate cupcake. It was very messy!!

Andrew has been gradually getting closer and closer to walking and started to put 2 and 3 steps together over the weekend.  He had a real breakthrough tonight and repeatedly walked back and forth between Louise and I in the kitchen.  We thought he was trouble before…

Andrew is a serious troublemaker. Once in awhile he gets caught red-handed. Or blue-handed…

Although most of the late winter and early spring has been beautiful and warm, we’ve had a couple of really freak snow storms recently to remind us that the weather in Calgary is completely unpredictable… During one such episode recently we all had to go out and build a giant snow fort on the front lawn…

It has been snowing all day today and nobody really wanted to venture outside, so I got out my lighting gear and went to work instead.

There was some beautiful light coming in through the window in the living room that I wanted to take advantage of, so I set up one light on a stand and balanced it against the window light from the opposite side.

Everybody got in on the action and I got some nice shots of everybody, even Fergus!
