The Return of the Hay Family

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.

Here are some nice pictures of the Hay family before, during and post Christmas.


Comparing sizes! (Sonya is in the 100th percentile for weight & 80th for height. Catherine is 80th for height and 50th for weight)
