Bonne Fete Robbie!!!

Yes. One week ago it was Eric's birthday, and now it's Robbie's. And he's so big. He's already 7! Oh my goodness gracious. I can hardly believe it. I was in high school when Rob was born...just about to start grade 11. I thought I was getting old at that point...but I now realize how young I really was. I remember coming to visit Robbie with my friends, Katya, Jenny and Candice, but mostly Katya. He was so little and cute! And he lovvvved Blues' Clues! He was almost always in one of his many green striped rugby shirts. Hehe. Robbie was always a drawer - he still is, but the subjects have changed. He used to be all over the whole trees and houses thing. Then it was trucks and construction equipment. Now? Bionicles. Pokemon. That sort of thing. Robbie is getting so tall now too! I can't believe it. Here are a few pictures from along the way...

After the ceremony at Zoe and Michael's wedding...such a fantastic photo. August 2004 I believe...

Hanging out in bed at home...not too long ago I don't think.

Arrr! Pirate Robbie...over at our Uncle Jim's house one Christmas. Hehe.

This was at Burgoo not too long ago...silly boy.

Playing the piano at Uncle Jim's house...well. Kinda playing. You know what I mean. But oh my goodness - look at his hair!!

It looks like he's about to take off! I think this was at the PNE a few years ago.

I lovvvve this photo. At Porteau Cove...where I usually go camping. He's just so darn CUTE!

With his lil' bro Eric...in the garden at our Nana's old care home.

Happy Birthday Robbie...you're going to go far - I just know it.

Happy Birthday Eric!!!

Happy Birthday Eric!

My youngest cousin turns 4 today. I can't believe it. I remember exactly where I was when I heard of his arrival: In St.John's, Newfoundland. I remember I was supposed to be camping that night with my 3 friends, but we got rained out - and wound up in a hotel instead. I was sitting on my bed in the room, and called home to check in. My mom gave me the news...I was so excited, and also sad that I wasn't there to welcome the little boy. Well. Time has flown by, and he's not so little anymore! Here are a few photos over the past few years...


Eric and me at my Nana's care home. We were out in the patio - Robbie took this picture.


Zoe's wedding. Eric and his mom, my aunt Cathy, share a moment.


Eric relaxing @ our Uncle Jim's house. Christmas 2005.


February 2005. I was looking after the boys for a few days, and it was rainy the whole time. I love this photo. My sister, Heather, took it. We had just finished a snack at Starbucks.


ROAR! Playing dress-up in June 2005.

This is such a great photo of him. It was taken at Robbie's school, on the playground.

At Burgoo...not too long ago. I swear this kid gets sillier the older he gets!


Hiding under the table...Meg, Heather, Taryn and I had all come over for BBQ'd hamburgers that night. The boys put on show for us as usual...haha. This was just last month.

The oldest cousin and the youngest cousin...I have so much to teach him...mwahahaha.




Happy Birthday Eric...you're only 4 once.
