Playing with Helayna

Family Day weekend was the perfect time to head to Calgary for a visit with our son and daughter. We met up with Darrin and Kelsey, Heather, Jonathan and Helayna and had supper at the Thai Chili Club House last night. The food was delicious, even if the Basil Beef and Mushrooms made our eyes water! I got to see Darrin's house for the first time (he's only been there about 10 months!) and we stayed over at Kelsey's parents' condo (it's the best 'hotel' in town - thanks H & R!). Today we hung out with Helayna for awhile before heading home. Our visits to Calgary are always too short, it seems to me. Hopefully we'll be back soon.



Heather and Helayna cuddling




Grampa and Helayna had lots of fun playing together today. She is so responsive and we had a great time talking and hanging out. Jonathan captured these awesome pictures!




We were dazzled by this sweet smile so many times! I just can't get enough of it!



More smiles as Grampa flew her by!




While Mommy went for a run and Daddy and Grampa were moving some stuff, Helayna and I went for a walk. It was so bright outside today - we definitely need to get some baby sunglasses.




We had lots of fun while Mommy had a nap!




These two did lots of 'talking' today! Gotta love those wide open mouths!

  2. Awe, Mom! She's changing and growing so much. Her smile melts me every time. I'm so glad you had time to spend in Calgary with both your kids. I can see you love being a grandma! Hopefully you'll have many more to play with and babysit, while Moms get some rest.
