Here's a photo of Ryan blowing out candles on his halloween (cup)cake - he had a party at school. Kevin was a power ranger, Ryan a fireman and Dylan a skunk, there's a group picture with my Poppa! They got a ton of candy, Kevin made sure to tell everyone it was Ryan's birthday, so he'd always get an extra handful from people, lol. Ryan's thrilled to be 4!

Dylan saw the Doctor for his well baby, and he's awesome! He got 2 needles, poor bunny and weighs 16lbs 9oz, and is 26.5 inches long! Dylan's been a really super baby over the last couple of weeks, not that I would expect any less from him, but even the staff at the funeral home fell in love with him over the weekend. Two Saturdays ago, we were at my Grandparents for our Canadian Thanksgiving dinner, and when he saw my Gramma coming down the stairs on her chairlift, he said "MaMaMa" and hasn't said a word since. He's eating cereal once or twice a day along with veggies and fruits that I'm introducing one at a time, so far, there hasn't been a food he doesn't like. He can sit up for a few minutes by himself, however as soon as I sit him down, he's lunging for something, he's not one of those content babies who sit he has to be on the move all the time. He still sleeps all night from about 9pm until 7am, plus a couple of naps during the day,...

Sadly, my Gramma passed away Friday morning after a year long battle with lung cancer, she was 67 years young. Even though she's gone and free of pain, she's still "here" with us, I can sense her. It's been hard getting used to her not being here. I often called her for advice on many things, and some days I forget and think "I'll call her and ask her..." and then I remember :( Kevin was quite close to Gramma, and we promised him next week we'd take him with Poppa to visit the cemetary and see her. All 3 of the boys got to go to the funeral home to say their goodbyes. Even though she's gone, she'll never be forgotten. We like say she's "Dancing with Elvis.."
