Kaden's trip to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland was the highlight of the summer. Not only did he go on 3 ferry trips, but he got to meet some new people as well as see others he hadn't seen since he was 2 weeks old! Kiara Janes and Noah Zinck are 2 of the first friends he's made that he got to visit with. While in NL, we had the chance to meet other families who've adopted Inuit children. They have organized yearly gatherings to get the kids and parents together, and graciously let us crash the party. It was great to learn about the children and hear the parent's stories. We hope to see them again some day! Here's a picture of several of the kids showing off their craftiness. Brian is seen here with some of the people we worked and socialized with in Iqaluit.

Kaden has grown much stonger with age. He loves to stand and can now pull himself up in his crib to standing position! He's also sitting well on his own and eating everything within arms reach! The jolly jumper is amazing for his legs as he could bounce for hours it seems! He's seen here pole dancing with grammy Betty!

This summer has been busy with getting out to enjoy the beautiful weather and go to the beach. Kaden does NOT like the water, but sure does like the sand!
