Alive...

Despite misplacing our camera when we got back from Canada, finding it again, taking a few pictures, trying to upload them to this website & the website continually freezing and not uploading the photos...we are all well!

Ezekiel's growing at a rapid rate and is as funny as ever! He says many words now along with letters and numbers, he really is quite clever. He's becoming more and more fearless everyday trying to jump off things all the time. He's getting a little naughty at times and is extremely painful at night at the moment! He has about 6 teeth on the way through so he hasnt been all that happy lately.

He's going through an obsession with shoes at the moment. He has to put them on and walk around the house in them. So there's a photo below!

We'll continue to keep this blog cause this has the very beginning of zeke's life & lots of videos and photos on it...if we dont up date it regularly enough for you then sign up on facebook.com for free, search for Meg Louise, cause it's way faster & easier for me to post photos there!

Later!

Supper in the Park...

We went to the Parkland to have supper the other night with the family & it was a gorgeous afternoon of about 23 degrees. Ezekiel run around the whole 3 hours we were there and loved playing on all the playgrounds. Dad took some great shots & here are a few for you to see! We're having a great time here in Canada!

Oh, and it was game day, so we had to put Zeke's jersey on & the Flames won 4-3 in an amazing game! I dont want to go home cause I'll miss them winning the Stanley Cup! =)

Holidays in Canada

Here are a couple of photos from our holidays so far! I need to sit down and resize them all cause they are way too big and take sooo long to upload on here. We're having a great time!

Zeke in the snow...

We have arrived in Canada safely after a very long flight. Zeke was really good on the plane and slept 8 hours. We were blessed to have been given a spare seat so he had some room to stretch out. We're all feeling pretty good, still a little tired.
We arrived to a very white Calgary and falling snow. It'll all melt away in a few days cause it suppose to warm up to +10 by the weekend!! So we took the opportunity to play in the snow today and here are a few photos! I'll post more soon. xx

Oops, having trouble uploading them. I'll try later on!

Funky New Hat

Ezekiel absolutely needed a new hat seeing as its been over 36 degrees for the last 5days! It's forcast to be 39 tomorrow and 38 for three days after that and then dropping way down to 19 by the end of next week, yay!
We're so ready to get to Canada where it'll be way way cooler than we've experience since we left to return home in 05.

Ezekiel has come down with a cold the last few days so he's been a little miserable, better getting it out of his system now rather than when we're flying.

I've got a check up with the doctor next week to make sure he's throat & ears are fine to fly.

17 days and counting!

Biggest Smile Yet...

I think my sister officially captured the biggest smile on Zeke's face so far! It's such a cute photo! =)



This one was taken at Dad's 50th birthday last week.



This one was taken a little while ago and I love it!

I dont need to say anything further than...

You know what they say...
"Like father, like son."

Things...

Jeremy, Ezekiel & I went to our friend Elisa's house for tea the other night along with her now fiance, Brady. Elisa has a puppy named Mischa who is about 3 months old. Zeke & Mischa has so much fun wearing each other out! Mischa was way too fast for Zeke and at one stage Zeke was chasing Mischa in a circle and Mischa took off and come up right behind Zeke and barked at him which absoutely scared Zeke! It was very funny. Here's a picture of Zeke & his new little friend =)



I'm speaking at church tomorrow morning at our family service so Jeremy took Ezekiel to the lake to feed the ducks. He only got a couple of photos because everytime Zeke took a piece of bread, he'd take off running toward the water so Jeremy had to run and chase him!





Here's a video of Zeke at the lake.



This last one was when they got home and I took the camera to post these photos and video on the blog. Zeke wasnt impressed that he wasnt allowed to have the camera! =)

38 days and we're in Canada!

We are very excited about being in Calgary in 38 days to see all the family!!

Here's a quick Zeke fix. You'll be able to see him live in action very soon. =)

Shrek!

Alicia & Russ gave Zeke a green headband for his 1st birthday that has Shrek ears on it. He went through a stage a little while ago where he wanted to have them on all the time! =)
These other two photos were taken today while we were playing.

Only 54 days until we're in Canada! Wooo Hooo!

Cheeky Zekey...

A friend of mine took these photos yesterday & I thought I'd share them with you!

Zeke's Favorite Game!

Here's the latest video of Ezekiel's favorite game which consists of Jeremy chasing him around the house & Zeke screaming with delight (and as you will be able to hear, it is quite ear-piercing!) Zeke's cute because he hasnt figured out how to run yet so he tries to walk really fast, i love it!

Well, I have a smelly nappy to attend to, so enjoy the video!

Oh, the joys of parenthood! :P

Lotta's Photos

Here's a photo of Lotta & I and some she took of Ezekiel the other day!

Finally...

Our apologies.

Our phone line has had no dial tone for the last week and it's just been repaired on the weekend. I havent had a lot of time to sit down at the computer to check my emails let alone upload videos.

We have a girl named, Lotta, staying with us for the next 7 weeks. Lotta is from Finland and came out to Australia with 4 other girls to studying the English language and culture so we've been busy playing game and teaching them all our aussie slang! =)

Here's one video to keep everyone happy for the time being. I'll upload another 2 that I have on my computer tomorrow.

We havent been great on the photo taking the last couple of weeks so we'll have to get snapping again so we can post some more gorgeous photos of our very fast growing boy!

This rocking horse was a gift to Ezekiel from a young guy at church. Ezekiel is wearing my green elastic around he's head. One day he put it on and wouldnt take it off, he'd cry if I took it off. He soon discovered that if he pulled it down over he's eyes he couldnt see and thought it was lots of fun to walk around the house with the elastic over his eyes...oh, how easily boys are amused! ha ha!

xx



Oh, I had time to upload the others so here they are.

Zeke walking around the house in a circle whilst clapping he's hands. He is very clever!



This one...playing the piano on Christmas Day at Mum's! I have no idea why he's Dad showed him it...I think by the end of the day a few people had headaches as Zeke wanted to play it ALL THE TIME. If you tried to remove him from the piano he'd sure let you know how unhappy he was about that idea! :P

Sorry

For all those who have been anxiously awaiting new photos on here, I'm afraid you'll just have to wait a bit more. Our internet at home is down, so we haven't had a chance to upload all the cool and funny videos and pics we've taken over the past few days. Keep an eye out for the rocking horse video. It's a classic!

But it should be up and running in the next couple days.

Thanks for checking this blog! Happy New Year to all!

Ezekiel & Santa

I've just set up our "All-in-one" Home Office that Jeremy won on the radio this morning so I thought I'd test out the scanner and scan in a photo of Ezekiel & Santa that was taken a few weeks ago at a department store. Zeke was loving Santa when he was in my arms. He was laughing at Santa because he was tickling Zeke with his beard but then when I put him on Santa's knee he became all serious! He didnt cry though!

Christmas Day!

Just a quick post to let you see Zeke playing with some of his new toys on Christmas Day! xx

Merry Christmas!

Well, not yet, but in three hours it will be Christmas. We've set up all of Zeke's presents for the morning. He'll be a spoiled little boy after tomorrow. What with his birthday and Christmas, he'll be wondering why he doesn't get new toys every week after this. It'll be a good day tomorrow with temperatures expecting to hit a comfortable 26 degrees.

We just wanted to wish everyone reading this a merry Christmas. I hope all is well and the eggnog is flowing, because it sure is over here! :)

Jer, Meg and Ezekiel

My Favorite Video Yet

This has to be one of my favorite videos of Ezekiel so far. He is just so much fun at the moment. Enjoy.

Note: Someone left a comment saying that this must be a secret video! I've just watched this video on 6 different computers and its worked everytime. If you cant see it for some strange reason, try double clicking on the video and it'll take you to the you tube website & you can view it there. =)

Videos

I found another website to upload the videos to and then post on the blog. All 4 of them are live on the net now so they should all work.

These first two are from about a week and a half ago when Loz, Zeke & I were playing with bubbles...Zeke had a fly swat which he was using to squash the bubbles! ha ha! This was before he was walking really good.





These were taken the other night at Dads when Zeke was bouncing on the trampoline!





I took this photo of Zeke in his PJ's this morning and then this other one when he woke up from a nap this afternoon. I'd emptied all his toys from this toy storage thing and I put it over him...he loved it and would get mad every time I took it off...got a video coming...ha ha...while i'm loading this video, I just took another one of Zeke laughing and dancing to his favorite song! I'll load that one too!
