Canadian Adventures so Far

They've lowered the driving age in Canada

 BC Lions Game

First time exploring Vancouver

 We found a beach

Wouldn't want to get our feet dirty!

Driving along the coast on Labor Day

His new favorite face.

Ferry to Victoria, we didn't partake but one of these days we will.

Mom/Grandma came to visit and help when the movers arrived since Andrew was out of town.

Breakfast at Sophie's Cosmic Cafe...wouldn't recommend unless you like hard pancakes =)

Lucky's Doughnuts...not as good as USA's greasy deep fried doughnuts, but the coffee shop where they are served is good; Forty Ninth Parallel.

Moving Pics

Last day in Vancouver WA. Take a look at Malachi....

"If we move ONE MORE TIME!"

He got over it pretty quickly

And is fitting right in here in Burnaby BC.

Nine Months and Two Years

Another month has gone by....it's crazy how time flies. Yes Malachi is now 9 months old...becoming quite the fast crawler, he's started to pull himself up and walk along furniture. I think he'll be walking on his own soon, which I am NOT ready for! =) 

We are finally all moved in, unpacked and feeling like this place is home. Also today a lady from church invited me over for breakfast and told me about some different activities going on in the church and around town. I am so thankful for that because with having the unpacking done I am in need of things to do and wanting to meet people, God's timing is always so perfect.

Oh yeah; Andrew and I celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary. It was a delightful day that ended with a delicious bbq dinner and homemade mocha cheesecake. 

His new thing is trying to take off his clothes...or bibs, he hates wearing bibs! Oh and by the way this sweater was one that Andrew's oldest brother wore.

A lot has happened in just two years. But it's been 2 wonderfully blessed years for sure! However I don't think I would have believed that we'd be living in Canada if you told me that two years ago. =)

Eight Months Old and Moving to Canada!

Yep we're moving to Vancouver BC, well, technically our address is Burnaby BC but it's just on the outskirts of Vancouver. We just gave the deposit for the rental this week and our stuff will be picked up by the movers on Monday! We've been living out of a hotel room, eating out a lot and ready to live "normally". On the flip side though we've met the parish priest at the church that is walking distance from our new home and have started to get to know the daily mass goers. 

We are very blessed for all the safe travels we've had this past month and that everything is going so smoothly. Also for all the very nice and welcoming people in Canada...I mean it, everyone is just SO nice! 

Ok now for what you're really looking for: Malachi's monthly pics.

This explains our mood in the hotel today...no I did NOT stage this, I sat him upright on the bed, he did the rest.

 

View from our hotel window...there are quite a few skyscrapers.

He's starting to pull himself up.

I bet you only thought he knew how to smile right?

Grumpy face doesn't usually last too long.

And for those who aren't on facebook and missed the moving announcement pic:

Weekend Fun

We tried staying cool since the temps were in the 90's! We went to Oneonta Gorge and saw Multnomah Falls...my first time ever. 

Also it was a sad day today, we can't take Black Beauty with us (seeing as it doesn't even run) so Andrew got a rid of it. Only a few people will appreciate seeing it one last time =)

Happy Father's Day Andrew! (Belated)

I came downstairs to find these two hanging out together Father's day morning. How adorable.

Here's Andrew showing off his father's day gift, a cordless drill:

We are so blessed to celebrate this years Father's day as a family of 3

Couldn't have asked for a better expression from Malachi!

7 Months

It seems a lot as happened in the last month. I didn't change Malachi from his dirty onsie because it shows that he's started eating! You can tell I'm a first time mom because there's a part of me that thinks his carrot stained onsie is kind of cute =) 

*More eating pics to come.

Also, you'll notice that he's sitting up on his own (for longer than a few seconds) and he's on the move! 

He's crawling all over the place!!!

This picture looks like Malachi is about to do a cartwheel!
