Winterfest

This past weekend was Winterfest at the Ambassador's. While we were there we got to go on a dogsled ride. Clayton loved it. It's just like on the movie "SnowBuddies" that we've watched 50 million times. Unfortunately, everyone else at Winterfest wanted a ride, too, so we couldn't keep going around and around. We also enjoyed some mulled wine and sweet treats while Clayton skated (with the help of Cyle) around the rink. It was pretty cold, so I spent quite a bit of our time there inside with Levi.

Levi loves to be on his belly. He's getting pretty good at working his way over to something he wants or rolling over if he's tired. He's still as smiley as ever and is getting more and more ticklish. Such a sweet boy!

Like any Canadian, we bough our two-year-old some hockey skates and a helmet. Clayton has so far enjoyed skating, but doesn't quite have it down...His feet just go everywhere! He sure does try!

The Events Committee had a farewell tea for Mrs. Wilkins. They're departure is bittersweet. We know they are anxious to get back to South Carolina to be closer to their family, but they will be sorely missed in Canada. The next ambassador has some high expectations to meet. The Wilkins are such genuine people and it's been such a treat for us to know them. It's a good time to be getting ready to leave Ottawa, it just won't be the same without them! We wish them all the best and many blessings.
