Please Bring Tea!

Hi! Just a quick plea for Grandpa to bring some tea bags with him if he can. Typhoo, Tetley, PG Tips - I don't care which. Just real tea. Pretty please! We are out, and having to drink awful American imitations of tea. To try and bribe you, here is a picture of Isabelle and Lexie trying on their flower girl dresses. And one of Callum too, doing something. And another of Lexie, looking like a colourful clown.


 

 

 

Haircut!

 

Callum got a haircut today. So did I, but I don't want to post a picture of me. So, here is Callum's. He was very proud of his mowhawk! He is at a sleep-over at Theo's tonight.

Pennie also hosted a shower today for Sarah. And she placed 3 nannies this week. The Lockett Center is doing well! Tonight, she is tired!

New Photo Gallery

I'm trying out a new photo service. The link should appear in the bar off to the side as "Picasa Photos". To go there directly, try pasting http://picasaweb.google.com/rjheath/ into your bowser instead. You should be able to view pictures, order prints and stuff. Let me know how y'all like it!

 

This is a new one of Lexie I had had to share though!

Seems like it was just yesterday I last posted

OK - so its been a while. I am officially as bad as blogging as I am at telephoning. Or writing.

So, what have I missed? Lets see, first was Christmas. Santa payed a quick visit at Poppy and Gammy's house on Christmas eve.




Lexie wasn't quite sure ...




Callum's favorite present was his DS:



Belle and Lexie shared a tea service:



Lexie also had her second birthday:





And baby Harrison made his grand entrance:



Meanwhile, Callum has been lost in his DS:



Lexie got married:



And Isabelle is still just gorgeous!

Isabelle's Lagoon Party

Isabelle had her birthday party today. We had 16 children running screaming through our house for two hours. It was fun. Or exhausting. One of the two! Special prize for anyone who can guess what the theme was.

She also opened her present from Grandma Mary... It was beautiful!!!



Lexie, of course, had to try it on too, and then see how pretty SHE looked. [Just look at the wonderful wallpaper too!]



Now, we just need a special place for her (Isabelle, Lexie will have to wait a few years) to wear it -- maybe to the Nutcracker next weekend?

It's Halloween, so it must be time for a new post...

OK - it has been too long. So much has been happening, I don't know where to start (which is why I need to do this more often!).

Lets see, where to start?

Callum has been doing pretty good at school. He made Principal's List for the first six weeks! That means all subject grades above 93%, and no N (Needs Improvement) or U (Unsatisfactory). Conduct is where he has a little bit of trouble. Apparently, his teacher gave
him an S (satisfactory) minus as she was being kind. He isn't bad - he just talks! We are working with him on this, having the teacher sign a book every day to let us know how he is doing. He is not going to get an E (Exceptional) this next report period (which ends in a week or two), but if he keeps it up, he might get an S...

Belle is still loving her school. I don't know if the boyfriend is still on - we don't hear so much about him anymore. But she does practice weddings... maybe just because Sarah is about to get married?

Lexie is growing so fast! She is 21 months now, going on 7 years. She races around after Callum - she just adores him! Belle she is not so sure of, but then Belle is not quite as good at sharing.

Since I mentioned Halloween, lets see if Grandma Mary recognizes the clown suit Callum is wearing as part of his "Jack In the Box"! I should say that we are Halloweened out already, and the main event is two days away. We did Zoo Boo last night at the Zoo, and a party in our old neighbourhood today. At least we get use out of the costumes...



Belle and Lexie were two beautiful Princesses!




Oh yeah - and check out the new link on the left there, to The Lockett Center!

Callum gets a CLUE, Belle gets a boyfriend

We found out last night that Callum got into the CLUE (Creative Learning in a Unique Environment) program! Six kids (we think) from his class made the cut. His friend Theo did, but we don't know who else. They get taken out of regular class on Wednesday afternoon and Monday morning for the CLUE program. We are so proud of him!

Meanwhile, Isabelle is back in Highland for three days a week preschool. She is loving it there, back with her friends Sarah and Wren. She has a boyfriend already (after just one week), although she can't remember his name. Given that there are only about 4 boys in the class with 12 girls, this is especially good (is "good" really the right word?) going.

Lexie continues to be Lexie...
