Oliver's cousin Savannah was baptised in Victoria last weekend. It was Oliver's first trip to Canada! Here he is with his dad (who is trying really hard to be Canadian!) waiting for the ferry.
We got there pretty early, but luckily there was a playground - Oliver loves the wind blowing in his hair!
Now that he has a little hair that is!
Oliver even took his turn driving.
We had all got up early (at 5:30) to make it to the ferry in time. Someone was pretty sleepy once we got on the boat...
We took the ferry to Nanaimo so we could meet my Dad, his new wife Kankan, and Aleah for a picnic lunch. Oliver seemed to remember grandpa. He gave him his first tool - a little toy hammer. After 3 girls, I'm sure he is going to get Oliver all the "boy" toys he can.
The next day, our little family got all dressed up to go to the church. Oliver already has his daddy's style!
Look at this baby! Her grandma Jo had this dress made for her. She was so sweet and loving all the attention - I think this one might be a little diva!
But Oliver did his drandest to steal the show. This was the first of many coy little smiles that weekend. He was loving all the socializing too!
Look at that sweet little family!
It was a pretty long service, but my boys did a great job keeping it together!
Andy gave a really moving blessing to his little girl. This is the only picture where Katie wasn't crying : )
Afterwards, Oliver gave his little cousin a blessing too.
Savannah did great for most of the day, but after it was over and her mommy was talking to everyone that had come for her special day, she lost it a bit...SO sad!
Here's the whole McDonell/Withrow/Demetruk Family
Oliver had a little secret to tell his cousin...or is that a kiss? Maybe even a bite given her expression...
Back on the ferry a few hours later. Oliver sure loves his Auntie Laura!
It was a very quick weekend, but we had a wonderful time seeing both our families (everyone except Wisty). We are back to Victoria for Mike's marathon and thanksgiving next weekend!
