Chloe's first bike ride



Grumpa and Nonna gave Chloe her first bike...a dream dazzle!
Today was the perfect day to get out and give it a try. Chloe was brave, and worked hard ... by the end of our 4 block circle, she handled her bike like a pro.
I am such a proud mum!

7 months and counting




Can you believe, 27 weeks and I'm still throwing up. I have accepted, I will probably keep doing so until this boy comes out.

Yes... a boy! His name Sy Jonathan Lee Parnes Wick.

Sy comes from Cyrus the great. The founder of the Persian Empire, not a conqueror but a liberator ...establishing peace and abolishing forced labour. He was an extraordinary man, read some more www.cyrusthegreat.com/

Jonathan- Is my brothers name. Both my sister and I adore our brother, and would love to have our sons named after him. Robin's last name is Walker, so they passed on the scotch whiskey reference. So I am excited to name my boy after my bro!

Lee - Is Ryan's middle name, and I must admit, I would have put the Lynn in Sy's name ....giggle.

Parnes - is Ryan's last name, and he wanted to have it included as a middle name.

Last name Wick. - I know this might be a bit liberal, however, Chloe is a Wick and so am I. In Alberta, children take their mother's last name.

We are all so excited to meet this new member of our family.
