walks, talks and seals...

This past weekend we went down to Victoria for Aunty Em's birthday... and as I was going through all our photos from the weekend I realized we came away without one photo of the birthday girl! No idea how that happened! We had a great time filled with gold medals, smokies, lots of cake and seals!

Walking with Grammie and Grampie to Windsor Park for some swing time!

Yup that's right there's daffodils in our gardens and blossoms on our trees! I love BC!


Grampie pushing Rupe on the swing.


Grammie's turn!




We continued on to Oak Bay Marina where Grampie bought us some fish to feed to the seals. Grampie was the brave one who had to get close to the seals. I was too nervous, they looked like they wanted to eat my baby!



hungry seals!!!!


Allow me a brief sentimental moment about this next photo... I love it. I don't have any other pictures like it. I don't have pictures of me walking and chatting with my dad. Yes I had my grandpa, but it wasn't quite the same. Looking at this photo brought tears to my eyes as I realized that Colin's dad has stepped into that role for me. He has welcomed me into their family and loved me and cared for me as one of his own. And I am so thankful for him! Thank you "Dyck kids" for sharing your dad with me :D




Rupert likes to hold hands... I kinda like it too! :D

I am so excited for Rupert to get to know all his family members and love them just as I do!
Thanks to Aunty Em for having a birthday so we could come spend it with her. We love you Aunty Em!
