The Newest Conlin

This is Colton, my brother Terry and his wife Jill's son. He was born in October and we will meet him for the first time in a week. Can't wait!!
I tried to forward some photo's on to many of you....but I guess it didn't work. So here are a few...

When the weather outside is frightful...

Well, this is some of the indoor fun we have on days like today. We will be back in the new year....

Thanks Jiji and Baba

We recieved some early Christmas gifts from Japan, and they are a hit!

A day in the life....

This photo just seems to capture what Tysei is all about at the moment. He desperately wanted to put his hand-me-down flames jersey over his pajamas and must always have at least one ball in bed with him. Last week he also wanted to sleep with a wooden car puzzle (thanks Toshi and Karen:) he loves it). Oh, what little boys are made of...

Back At it....

It's Christmas cookie time again.....

The Calgary Tower

We had brunch at the Calgary Tower last weekend and it snowed so hard we could only see white as the tower turned slowly for a (supposedly) stunning panoramic view of the city. Oh well, we'll take their word for it...

This is Tysei and Uncle Jim standing on the glass floor, checking out the cars and buildings below.



Tysei was fine and the suddenly got freaked out and started to cry. He froze and wouldn't move until I rescued him. Although a few minutes later he was back jumping on the glass floor with Kianah...

Kianah's Christmas Concert

Well, actually we have no pictures of the concert...but this was her right before we left for it. It was great as usual, and Kianah enjoyed singing and dancing on stage. Most of it was in Spanish...so I sat beside a friend that could translate. We took a video of the concert, so I will see if I can edit it down to show a shot clip.

Christmas Tree Time

We decorated our tree a few weeks ago. It took awhile with Kianah decorating and Tysei undecorating. This is how it looked after the kids were done with it....

Notice the bare top half......


We fixed that and put on the final touches. Ahhh....Egg Nog anyone?

December already

O.K. I know I am not as good at updating this thing this year, I guess that is what happens when you add another role....I will however post a few photo's from the past couple of weeks before heading to Ontario for Christmas.

Happy Holidays to you all!!!


SNOW......and lots of it. We got 15cm last weekend and doubled that this weekend. Last weekend was mild and great for playing outside. This weekend the forecasted high is -23. Yes that is the HIGH.
