The Hay Family: January 2008

Almost every Wednesday we go to Nana & Grandpa's house for a nice dinner. Here are some shots from our most recent dinner at their place.

On January 13th, we celebrated Westley's 5th birthday at Caroline and Greg's house. We had a lovely crepe brunch (compliments of our hosts) and a nice visit.

At the beginning of January, Glen had to go to Virginia for business. Malcolm and Jacqueline kept his ladies comfortable and well fed.

These are just some cute shots we took at the beginning of the month. Catherine has taken quite a liking to mommy's brown shoes.

Sigh...I have no excuse for not updating besides two kids, Christmas shopping, Christmas cards, Christmas wrapping, quality family time, house cleaning and laundry. Wait! Maybe I do. :)

Either way, I apologize for those coming to the blog in hopes of seeing some cute baby shots. Due to my prior poor time management, I've decided that this update deserves multiple pictures from November through to now. It also helps to have a new Internet laptop (compliments of Malcolm & Jacqueline) so I can work from the main floor while keeping an eye on the kids.

Momma with 2/3 granddaughters (this took many attempts to get a good shot of Catherine, who simply wanted to play)

In mid-November, my sister-in-law, Caroline, threw a lovely baby shower for Sonya. I tried to include shots of everyone, whether holding the baby or not. We all had fun eating the various edibles and playing some fun games. Hard not to have fun with such good friends and family. To keep things simple, you can assume all those without familial designations to be friends.
