Kenzie loves my green microfibre throw - it's so smooth and soft on her skin. She loves to wrap up in it and get cozy. She has beautiful blue eyes, ringed with darker blue.

DD Sara did a photo shoot of Layla and Charlie the other day. They've been best friends since birth - at 4 and 3 years old, Charlie is 8 months older than Layla. And now Layla is moving away and the cousins are going to miss one another a lot. They've been the subject of Sara's seasonal photo shoots for three years.

I have to put two pictures in tonight. This first one is of my five daughters and one daughter-in-law. The second DIL lives too far away to be here. We had a girls night out because we don't know when we'll all be together again because of Mary moving to BC on Thursday. They are l-r, Cindy (DIL) holding Sara's baby Eloise, Amy, Sara, Jenny (nursing baby James), Emily and Mary.




The second picture is of Jenny's baby James (the youngest of Jenny's 5 boys). He was born prematurely on December 7. His due date was January 9, so although he is six weeks old, he's the size of a two-week old baby...strong and healthy. This was his first outing with the family.

I spent the day inside scrapbooking. This is one of the two layouts I completed - the first I've done of our grand-daughter Eloise Patricia Hardwicke-Brown who was born on November 27. It's much prettier and brighter in real life.

We went out to lunch today with Sara and Quincey and their kids Charlie, Max and Eloise. Max sat up on the windowsill of the restaurant and I took this picture of him. Although he was backlit from the outside, the picture turned out remarkably good, IMHO. Three year old Max is the only boy and middle child, flanked by a four-year old sister and 7-week old sister.... poor kid. He's a real sweetie.

Somewhere along the way I've missed a day. This is my 17th day of entries, but the picture was taken today, January 18, and the snow on bushes page was taken on the 17th. Didn't take me long to goof up.

Anyway, this is Layla (3 yr. old granddaughter) in her car seat in the Swiss Chalet parking lot where we had just finished lunch with her Mother, Mary, and aunties Sara and Emily. Layla is moving to BC next week so I won't have many more chances to take pictures of her sweet self.

It started snowing around 4 this morning and didn't let up until suppertime. It was light, fluffy snow but the roads were messy with it. What can you expect in January in Edmonton???
