The Rivards

Here are some pictures of Celeste and Sofia together. Sofia is only 1 week old here.

Shortly after Sofia was born, friends and family came out for a visit. Here’s Zia Enza and Uncle Chad.

Here cousin Rosetta is holding Sofia while Brian goofs around with Celeste’s new baby doll.

Me taking it easy with Sofia.

Proud “big sister” Celeste holds Sofia.

Daddy is happy that all went well.

Even though Zio really wanted a nephew, he looks pretty happy hanging out with Sofia.

Celeste gets ready for Halloween by helping out with decorating the pumpkin.

Daddy made it just in time from his road trip across country, so he helped Celeste get into her costume.

On her way out the door with Zio Lorenzo for some fun trick-or-treating.

Shortly after arriving in Windsor, Zia Enza took us out to Colasanti’s for the afternoon. There we got to enjoy the petting zoo…

window shopping in the guft shop…

the bounce zone…

homemade donuts covered in sugar and cinnamon…

and rides.

When Celeste is a little older we’ll have to check out the arcade and the mini gold course.

This summer we visited some old friends in Abbotsford, Melissa and her mom Donna. It was like we never left. Donna and I chatted up a storm, and Celeste and Melissa played together like they’d never been apart.

Camping and boardgames…

Just hanging out…

After chatting for an hour or so, Donna and I decided to check in on the girls…

As you can see they were rather busy redecorating Melissa’s bedroom. It took us a good 20 minutes to clean up after them.

In the meantime, they had headed off to redecorate Donna’s master bedroom. The fun never ends!

A little goodbye momento from Celeste’s french immersion preschool class.

This year we had our family pictures taken on Kamloops’ North Shore by LB Photography.
