we love daddy, we love daddy!

The Moose Hunter is Home.

After 10 days of travel, snow, bush, moose, and tents, he is home. and his girls couldn't be happier.

Upon his arrival, we had supper together and opened Christmas gifts left by my parents. THANK YOU! :) Julia received some dresses, dave a sweater and shirt, and myself a lovely sweater-shirt ansemble!


Here is a family shot: sporting our new duds. (oh man, do i ever sound like my dad!)Julia, besides needing some 'daddy discipline' in the days prior to the return of the dave, desperately needed daddy time. So, now they have made up for lost time. The picture of the flaming bright orange J and D, well, that is them hunting moose in the house. haha. Dave took the camera and walked all over the house finding moose with J and asking her to take pictures of them. (she took real pictures of random places in the house where they "saw" moose.)


Very sweet. The two of them played all day and enjoyed each other after a long time apart. Here is the tired hunter....after a long day of play.......
Soon after his arrival, Dave's Cousin Sarah came to visit with her sweet baby May. We spent the morning playing, talking, and watching the girls . Julia , of course, loved May and wanted to hold her , until May squirmed too much for J to hold....short attention span...back to toys. :)
Well, i am thankful for a husband that is back from the great white north, and a daughter who is sleeping now, so i can go lay down and sleep as well.

Heehee. we started listening to Christmas music this weekend! adn dave bought me my Christmas gift....a lovely book of Christmas tunes for the piano and guitar!! yippeeee!!

loves.

Love the Christmas duds. very beeee-utiful (0: The day of indoor moose-hunting sounded lovely...father-daughter bonding right? Unfortunately I had a moment of confusion when I mispronounced moose 'mouse' in my head. Haha. Of course mouse hunting can also be fun.
love to all of you!!!!

Glad to hear Dave made it home safely. Did he bring any good meat home with him? J sure has grown. It is amazing to see the changes in her! Hope all is going well for you and yours. Hugs!

I was feeling the need for xmas music the other day too.. but i was in the car, so i just sang it to myself!
How are you feeling lately? Thanks sooo much for the beautiful leaves. I will put them to great use!!! We appreciate the very thoughtful gesture!

Corrina needs some loving care now.. i think she is teething again for she is having the most fussy diffucult bedtimes these nights... hope something pops through soon.
