Proud Parent Moments

Friday was a very exciting day for us as Owen was receiving a Character Recognition Award at their Shining Stars Assembly. He was being recognized by his teacher and peers for his respectful and responsible character, cue the proud momma tears!

I didn't get too many pics as I was enjoying the moment, that's ok, it's more about the acknowledgement than the pics.

We are so very lucky to have such a wonderful boy in our lives.

had written on the back

Wedding Time

Arriving at the barn in Dundas, ready to celebrate

It was so nice to be greeted by Maggie and Sean, it made
meeting all her family so much easier

Leanne did a beautiful set up for the festivities

Let the ceremony begin!

These two were so excited and sweet together
while exchanging their vows

Not a great shot but, it's official!!

Cheers

Owen and Kate were so incredible, they were content
to do their own thing and play with their new
cousins all day. Somehow Kate ended up with a
champagne glass and was drinking water from it all afternoon

Owen, Kate and Ben checking out the barn together

Smile!

The kids (with some help) were outside setting up
some games

While us girls decided to enjoy the view

The barn was a great source of entertainment and
adventure for the kids

A few quick photos before dinner

Everyone contributed to a wonderful family dinner

A roast pig was delivered for dinner and both Owen
and Kate loooooved this guy

After dinner, desert and getting to meet everyone,
the bonfire was started. The boys sat up on the truck
roof most of the night!

The newlyweds

Pic Update

Blueberry and cocoa smoothies for breakfast
entertainment 

Owen did the Terry Fox run at school and I was
able to join him in the run. We had
lots of fun racing each other!

My brother Sean was getting married on Thanksgiving
weekend so I managed to sew up this
outfit for Kate. I think she liked it

We are starting to feel the Fall weather creep in which
definitely requires some gingerbread
muffins to be made up

We gathered the kids up and headed out to a local family
restaurant we've been meaning to check out.

After a hearty meal we went for a hike on some of the
many trails that are so close to us

It was a perfect day to go for an adventure

These two were amazing

Kate and I managed a 2.5Km hike out and back but the
boys wanted more so we parted ways and they hiked back
home. They did a total of 7.5Km, pretty impressive

Oma and Grandpa came by on Thursday with some
birthday cake for Kate before heading to see
Maggie and Sean before their wedding

All dressed up and ready for a fantastic wedding
