i wouldn't say i am a very happy pregnant lady, so when my doc asked if i would like to be induced a few days before the due date i was all over it. friday, April 9th, rob and i went in for the induction. very long and ridiculous story later, Judy Kay was delivered via emergency c-section that evening.
these are judy at 2 weeks old. i was still very much recovering from the c-section, so this was a big deal to set up and do. xander was funny because when he say judy with no clothes on taking pictures he wanted to do the same. i was able to snap a couple good ones.
judy was easy. slept when she was supposed to, and was in general an easy new born. we could plop her down anywhere and she'd fall asleep on her own.
so we were living in high river at the time, in a little 3-plex near a park. high river is a very nice place to live. xander always had a lot of fun riding his run-bike down the front walkway.
then may came and rob had an opportunity to transfer to pincher creek. that meant we would be able to live at waterton springs campground (which we manage every summer anyway) and list our house in lethbridge to sell (which it hasn't yet!). we love our lethbridge house, but we know if we are ever going to move back to lethbridge that won't be the house we live in.
we love waterton!
rob grew a really nasty beard at the campground because we lost his shaver in the move. luckily he found it eventually, but then he shaved it into an even nastier moustache.
xander had his 3rd birthday that summer, and rob took him on his first "camping trip". really they just set up a tent on one of the sites during the week. it was really windy that night and they ended up coming inside, but xander still had a blast.
cousin lincoln came to visit a few times that summer. these two are good buddies, but sometimes have a hard time playing at the same pace. most of the time they really enjoy each other's company. like when they are each playing with their ipods.
it was at one of these visits from lincoln that judy started rolling (at 4 months old!).
finally the summer was over and we could relax. rob works hard during july and august with all the campers, so once october hit we closed everything up and could finally worry about other things. he also started teaching in pincher creek this fall at Canyon Creek school, grade 6. this is a big change from junior high. but he has enjoyed it, although it has be A LOT of work to prep a whole new curriculum. this picture was taken at thanksgiving.
