In the process of the haircut. We forgot to take a picture of the finished product. Sorry, I guess you will have to check our next update to see what it looks like!
Funky hair!
Stephen did really well as mommy cut his hair. He was watching "Nemo" on Daddy's computer. He doesn't mind the whole process until it comes to trimming the hair by his ears. That didn't go so well this time so hopefully no one looks too closely at his ears!
Stephen tried wearing big boy underwear on Saturday. He lasted for an hour or two but then made a large puddle on the kitchen floor. He loved the freedom of not wearing a diaper but was too busy to pee in the potty. At least he didn't pee on the carpet!

The neat thing about this park is that there is a train. Here is a picture of Stephen on the train before it left the station.
We think Stephen has a new friend. Thanks, Tamara, for making sure that Stephen was ok all day!
Stephen loved to play on the motorcycle. Watch out Uncle Matt and Uncle Kris! He's gonna try to ride your wheels next summer!
Here is Matt playing on the digger in the small playground.
On Thanksgiving Monday we went to Bear Creek Park with the Merritts. Here we are enjoying our lunch in the sun.
Stephen and some large trees at the park.
Stephen enjoyed throwing leaves into the river and watch them float away.
Stephen up on a trail along the river. We were able to find lots of cans and bottles to recycle!!
Before Thanksgiving, we spent an afternoon at Williams Park. It is a big park that has trails along a river that is supposed to have fish in it. We didn't see any fish but had a great time in the beautiful woods.
2 months to go. (October)
Stephen is giving the baby a kiss. Some days he wants a baby brother and others a baby sister. He's excited about sharing his room and blankets. He keeps asking if the baby is ready yet.
3 months left to go. (September)
This was Stephen's latest pose while talking on the phone with Daddy.
Does this count as sucking his thumb? Technically its just resting on his lip.
We are trying this potty training thing. Stephen knows when he has to go (ie he leaves the room) but doesn't seem quite ready to tell us BEFORE hand that he needs to use the potty. He knows that he's supposed to pee in the potty and that he'll get to flush the toilet and get a candy but it still doesn't seem to motivate him.
Stephen talking on the phone to one of his grandparents. He loves to talk on the phone all by himself but his attention span is quite short!
Our pear-apple and apple trees were full when we got home. Stephne likes to pick them and eat them when he plays outside. We have had a fair amount of apple crisp and fresh apple sauce this fall.
Stephen was finally allowed to play with his birthday present. He loves playing with play doh. For some reason he always picks the black play doh to play with.
Nice socks dude!
Here is Stephen reading by himself on the couch.
Here is Stephen with his sad face on.
We stopped along Highway 1 to watch some of the salmon making their way up the river.
This is our cool dude Stephen.
Watching the salmon from the bridge.
We were given some fruit juice in Calgary from our gracious hosts. Stephen kept asking if he could have some. Then he played with the bottle when we finished it. We kept hearing "Mommy! Daddy! Stephen drinking beer!" We're not sure how he came to the conclusion that it was beer!!
Construction of a new highway in Kicking Horse Pass
Welcome to BC, the modest province. The sign reads "The Best Place on Earth."
Mountains inbetween Jasper and Banff. Interestingly enough, it was cloudy like this the first time we drove here from Ontario.
Stephen spent his time at this rest area jumping for berries so he could throw them into gopher holes.
Here is a lovely picture of Jono's Greek textbook. He spent a decent amount of time on his Greek as we drove across. Yes, he finished his course and did well too.
