Olivia and Julia are about 6 1/2 wks apart. Julia is such a happy smiley girl, so glad we got to meet her while she is still not too old.

Below is a photo of us on a walk around Henderson Lake.

Auntie Birgitta was a natural with Olivia and Olivia seemed to fall asleep easily in her arms.

Labor Day weekend was an eventful and memorable weekend with family. We had chosen this weekend to have Olivia's baby blessing and it was also Ted and Sonja's (Eric's parents) 40th wedding anniversary...so Uncle Neil and Auntie Dawn headed up a Baker family reunion here in Lethbridge. Eric's brother and family came from Victoria, his sister from Louisiana, his Great Uncle and Aunt from Vancouver Island, cousins and Aunt from Calgary and those of us from around here. We have missed not having more family close by and were so grateful and appreciative of their efforts to make the trip out here.
On Olivia's blessing day the wind kicked up which made taking outdoor pictures a bit difficult. That Sunday evening we went to Dynasty Restaurant to celebrate Ted and Sonja's 4oth. All the family visiting came and we enjoyed the food that cousin Peggy had chosen for us (thanks Peggy).
