Garneau’s

The three of us went to the Apple Orchard in Jordan, a small town, only half an hour away from where we live. Almost exactly last year, Micah and I, went apple picking last year in Jordan. Jonah was not born as yet when we went apple picking last year. I was just thinking what a huge change it is in one’s life in just a year. This year, in October, Jonah went to the Apple Orchard with us, he went running and kicking the pumpkins and picked apples from the trees, tasted them and loved riding in the tractor. We all had a great time! It was a beautiful day and the weather was perfect. We had lunch in somewhat like an old fashioned tavern. Micah shared his apple crisp with me. I got almond brittle, a pastry brush, pop-corn and of course, we bought a huge bag of apples (the ones we picked ourselves, at the orchard). It was a good family outing day. Check out our new pictures we took at the Orchard.

Happy Birthday Micah!!!! Even as I am typing this article, Micah is standing by our entertainment centre and taking a vote on who wants to watch archives or he-man or teenage mutant ninja turtles. Yes, he said that he wanted a cartoon party with cake and ice-cream and invited a bunch of friends over. First, I thought it was a silly idea, but ended up being really fun and everyone is having a great time. There is a variety of cartoon collections here in our home tonight and I am sure everyone is enjoying and having a great time. Right now, they are watching he-man.

This is the first birthday for Micah with Jonah and it was very special. We had a great lunch at Pei Wei (asian diner) and it was a very great birthday for Micah.

our little boy, 10 months now, is running all over the apartment. Jonah likes to go to the playground and watch the other kids play football. All he does for now is to hold on to the football (he doesn’t know to kick as yet). He loves to run around in the big field and walking in the grass makes him happy.

I just couldn’t wait for Jonah to start walking and he did almost three days ago. It was pretty cool to see him take a couple of steps on his own without holding on to any support. Jonah is busy all the time when he is awake and just cannot stop thinking, i guess. He is a very happy baby and also loves to keep me running after him. He does not get frustrated although I pick him up and put him right where he started. He keeps trying again and again to get what he wants. For some reason, Jonah pretends that he cannot hear the word “no” Probably this is the age where most babies try to get away with what they can. Parenting is much challenging than I thought it might be. A friend of mine, let me borrow a book, “Shepherding a child’s heart”. We both desire to parent Jonah in a biblical manner. I truly understand that no matter how many books I might read or listen to advice, we as parents will make mistakes. Yet, I am assured that learning together
and growing as parents will make this a beautiful journey. I am so looking forward to it.
Jonah has gotten so big too. I have posted some pictures of him taken last month. Please check it out….
