Exhibition Parade, Saskatoon

Sitting Up!!

Liam started sitting up all by himself while we were in Wisconsin. Must be that humidity. :)

Welcoming our Niece

Brooklyn Elizabeth came into the world on August 8. We were able to visit with her, Ian (Lindsay's youngest brother) and Danielle the next day. Both mom and baby are doing well. She's a cutie and the Anderson clan gets their girl! Mom Anderson is very excited about all the pink things she now gets to purchase and make. I think she's had enough of the blue.

Birthday Greetings from the Clown

It's Pappy's birthday today so we surprised him at work. We brought him a mini black forest cake (one of his favorites) and his favorite grandson (the only one he has) dressed up like a clown. We knew Liam had crazy hair but this is really too much.

Driving My Parents Nuts...

Actually Liam did very well on the trip. The funny thing about this very cute picture of our son is that 10 minutes prior to the click on the camera, the diaper Liam was wearing decided it was not going to work as well as we see on the commercials. Or maybe it was that the sheer volume of what I had to clean up in that Pizza Hut parking lot was just too overwhelming for the poor diaper. This was one of the hardest days. We had a long day of travel and we got to our supper late. Thankfully we decided to order pizza and bring it back to the hotel. Liam just wasn't a happy camper that evening and Linds and I did our best to inhale our supper while trying to find the soother to help calm the screams. Maybe he just wanted some pizza too. It was, after all pepperoni...who can resist that?!

Wisconsin War Memorial

On the way to visit our family, we took a break at the War Memorial. Liam got to ring a copy of the Liberty bell and stretch his legs.

Hanging out with the Witters

My mom's sister, Becky, her husband, Tom and my cousins, Taylor and Logan.

With Opa & Oma Reiss

We've been away...

On July 23rd the three of us hit the road with Wisconsin as our destination. We arrived their three days later with a little guy that had done really well on the trip but was excited to get out of the car for longer than a night stay at a hotel. This is the first time my (Amanda) extended family was able to meet Liam. It was a thrill...for them to meet him and for us to show him off. We had a great time. Now that we are home I can tell that Liam is missing all the attention he got while down there. I'm just not as interesting as a great Opa and Oma, great aunt & uncle, two second cousins and a great, great aunt. Go figure?! Here are some pictures of our trip.

Kinsmen Park, Saskatoon

A few weeks ago we took Liam to the park. It's a special park in Saskatoon that both Lindsay and I used to visit as kids, on school trips or just hanging out with each of our families. This park has rides and a little pool. My favorite was always the train. Liam got to experience the train, ferris wheel and merry-go-round.
