the Auntie's come to Merritt

Juliette's youngest Aunt, Jamie.



Darren's Dad and sisters Jesse and Jamie came to Merritt for the weekend to visit. This was the girls first time in Merritt so they played tourist and did the walk of stars downtown, went to the farmers market, Monk park for the Aboriginal day festivities and got reacquainted with their cousins and niece.






Hanging out with the big kids. Auntie's Jamie and Jesse with cousins Indy and Keneesha who live next door to us and come to play with Juliette almost everyday.

6 month Milestone

As the 6 month mark approaches there have been some new and exciting discovery's. The first being on Mothers Day. It was an extra special day as Juliette's first tooth poked through. We spent the day with family first going out for breakfast then dinner at cousins Rona and Donny's.


















This was the first time she had real food, rice cereal. It was very funny to see the faces she made and the way her tongue kept pushing the food out trying to figure out what to do with it. We captured it on video.


Her new favorite toy is her feet, she also likes to see how they taste every now and again when she thinks no one is looking. She has also learned to roll over, and over and over again.




She is quite the social butterfly. Here she is making new friends with her cousin Sophie attending her 2nd birthday party. Juliette loves her cousin Indy he is the first person to make her laugh.













Darren's first Fathers Day. We spent the day having a barbecue at Monk park. (20 min. from Merritt). All of his relatives from town were there to help celebrate. The kids went swimming in the lake, played badminton and even found a baby snake to terrorize.




June 19th was her 6 month birthday. She hung out with her cousin Indy and we went for a stroll in the park. The rest of the day she put on her party dress, played with her toys and babbled away.
