As you can see, Oma and Thomas have gotten along great!!! I think he will miss her alot (as will we all!!) Oma and Thomas have been in each others arms for most of the days. Hope she does not go into withdrawal tomorrow when she sadly has to fly home to Calgary again. The picture of Oma and Matt as "knights and super heros with underwear masks shows how much Oma loves her grandkids!!! (And yes that is dragon underwear (to fight the dragons) that Matt has on outside of his pants!!!) Ben was trying on papa's boots and will also miss Oma alot. Thomas is starting to suck fingers as you can see when Sharon was holding him. Curtis (Matt's friend) also got to hold the little ( well 11 lbs and 5 oz !!!) man. Have a safe trip home Oma, we love you. The MacNeills

easter and visits

Easter came and went so quickly. We decorated eggs with Oma and waited for the easter bunny by reading and hanging out with Oma. Matt and Ben had little trouble finding their easter baskets on sunday morning. When we got back from church, the bunny had come and hid eggs all over the house... Matt was looking everywhere, even under tables. Matt also has been dressing up as a knight with a helmet (yes it is clean underwear) and sunglasses!!! We then had a wonderful easter dinner with gramma and all the cousins and aunties!!! Gramma got more Thomas time by coming swimming with us in Charlottetown (monday). I think Oma and Gramma were not as excited as mama and papa at having Thomas in the pool... for the record it was his second time swimming... Oma took him out of the water after only 15 minutes!!! The last picture is Thomas in his carseat... I just thought it was a cute picture. Have a good day, the Macneills.

almost easter ad Oma is here!!!

We are now so excited to have Oma visiting and playing with all the boys. We were swimming today and I think Matt and Ben tired poor Oma out. We are looking forward to Easter tomorrow. The first picture is of Matt and Ben dressing up as "ho ho" (santa if there is a question about what Ben means). Have a wonderful Easter everyone!!! The MacNeills

We are celebrating easter a week early with the kids having a hunt and boy can Ben eat chocolate and potato chips!!! They decorated eggs and had so much fun and Matt even stayed overnight on his own for his first sleepover!!! Thomas is also growing well and we are having fun now that Oma is visiting, more pictures to come!!! The Macneills.

Heidi is leaving today...we are going to miss her!!!

We will really miss Tante Heidi!! As you can see, there was alot of baby holding, lego building, walks etc and lots of swims with Tante here!!! It was great. Mama got to walk on the track a few times and get a bit of exercise even!! Thank you Heidi!! Matt and Heidi made a chimney and hung stockings in his room... they also read alot of books together and were, well plain silly alot!!! Thomas is ashorter than all the cheese that Tante Heidi is bringing back for onkel Paul. He sleeps well in the snuggli too!!! Things are great and we will miss Heidi alot. Thanks for the visit!! The MacNeills

march with heidi

Thomas is sitting on my lap so this is a slow, one handed typing job, Gramma got to see her newest grandson as did his other cousin Hilary. Tante Heidi has managed to make two best friends in Matt and Jasper. Somehow Heidi managed to tucker Matt out by taking him swimming for 1 1/2 hrs then snowshoeing in the afternoon!!! Mama loves al the help. Ben and Matt love their brother as one can see!! Ben is sick but the rest of the MacNeills are doing great. Thomas is already 3 oz over his birthweight by day6. He is a very good baby!!!!
