The old one disappeared, but mummy and daddy say that I have to keep brushing my teeth, so here is my new Dora brush in action. (Peut-être que j'ai oublié mon ancien chez vous, mémère et pépère?)

Last week we had our first "school outing", to a nearby indoor amusement park. While most of the activities are for bigger kids, Alice and her friends had fun in the kiddie area.

Just over a year ago, we began an archival process to chart Alice's growth. It was a pleasure to plan and enact the "photo shoot" every month, and now we would like to share the results with you. No peeking at the oldest photos first... (today we visited our friends Annie & Matthew with their daughter Olivia, who is a year older than Alice, and their new baby, Lucy. We hardly remembered how little a newborn baby is, and were nervous to hold the little darling. Hard to believe Alice was that small not so long ago)

So where did you eat your Thanksgiving turkey this year? Le Gardeur? Not bad... Fredericton? Allright... Stratford? Pretty good... But nothing compares to sharing a wonderful dinner and a super weekend in rainy St-Pierre-Jolys, Manitoba! Yes, we enjoyed a West Jet stand-up routine, and a lovely flight to Winnipeg, followed by a drive to St-Pierre (this is no small trip to the dépanneur), and then a weekend of playing, eating and visiting friends and family. While we were visiting, Alice did a lot of walking, read some nice books, and slept very well in the fresh country air. Here are some of the visual memories... A little bit more pacifier than usual on the plane... we didn't want to upset our fellow passengers (but what a great traveller Alice was) Reading a good book with mémère Finding goodies in the toy suitcase with pépère Breakfast at the Norwood - a big trip to the city! Pépère on his horse. Giddy up. Alice collected a nice big carrot to feed the horses (straight ...

Oh the trials and tribulations of being 1 year old. Alice has been boogying around non-stop (by bum or on foot), enjoying her dad being home and some of the fun activities that come with being part of "team-luguy". Since she is a year old, she has a few big girl privileges: riding in the car with her seat facing forward, riding in the bike trailer and eating food prepared by Silvana at the daycare (yummy Columbian cuisine - you would pay big money for her food at a restaurant) Growing up presents some emotional rollercoasters as well though, and Alice is learning to express herself when things don`t go her way. When mummy is trying to get dressed, for instance, is not the time to walk together, and daddy will have to do. Also, sometimes when your diaper is dirty, it`s time to take a break from playing... Everyday is an adventure as we learn the many things that can provoke tears and giggles. What a roller-coaster ride! We have been having so much fun since daddy came home tha...
