I’ve successfully crossed the river. Here Dad, take my hand. I can help you cross it too!

Thanks sweetheart. Daddy really appreciates your help. Photo taken July 29, 2005.

At first, Kathryn was somewhat hesitant to get herself wet. Photo taken July 29, 2005.

Ooooooh! Daddy can we play catch with the football.

Unfortunately, that football is not ours sweetie. I think we might have some other toys to play with though. Photo taken July 29, 2005.

Wow! This is one big bathtub, Daddy!

Mommy didn’t carve the pumpkin all by herself — she had some help!

Kathryn is trying to outdo the Pumpkin Gutter. Good luck sweetheart, those are some pretty spectacular pumpkins. Photo taken October 30, 2005.

This is Kathryn’s interpretation of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Shortly before bedtime tonight, Kathryn and I were in front of my computer. She became fascinated with the pen of my Wacom tablet. Although I told her that the pen belonged to Daddy, she insisted that the pen was “mine”. The proverbial light bulb went [...]

I think Kathryn is auditioning for Madonna’s ‘Vogue’ video. Photo taken July 17, 2005.

Tee Hee, that tickles!

Hey now! Ho now! Whoa now! Cut that out!

Kathryn’s cousin Lisa is giving her a ‘raspberry’. Photo taken July 17, 2005.

Oh oh!

This is one of Kathryn’s famous ‘looks’. Whenever something ‘oh oh’ happens, this is the look we’re usually presented with. It melts my heart. Photo taken July 17, 2005.

Ok, who wants the balloon next?

It was quite warm in Saskatchewan — witness Kathryn’s wet hair. Photo taken July 17, 2005.

Zzzzzzzzzzz……..

Kathryn has had a busy day! Photo taken July 16, 2005.
