While in PEI, Jessie enjoyed her first wedding (cousins Rhonda & Chris Lewis) and her first party (the wedding reception!). She was a real gem - aside from being a bit of a show-stealer at times, she was also extremely content throughout most of the day. She slept through the entire wedding ceremony (we think perhaps because of the massive growth spurt she had earlier that week!) and was in the most pleasant mood for most of the reception - it was a great day and of course, the best part of all was welcoming Chris into our family!!

Birthday Buddies! We have a really neat little birthday
phenomenon on Ken's side of the family ... in this picture
above, we have Courtney and Ryan Lynch (brother and
sister - Ken's cousin's kids) and Ryan was born on Nov. 16th -
which is also Ken's birthday ... as if that wasn't cool enough,
Jessie's birthday is the same as Courtney's - Aug. 9th! Not to
mention that Aug. 9th is also Ken's Aunt Lois and Uncle
Lester's Anniversary AND Jessie's Nanny & Papa
Cuthbertson's Anniversary too!

Ken's brother - Jessie's Uncle Calvin - surprised us all
by flying in for a week during our stay in PEI, which was
SUCH a treat! We were so thrilled to have the whole family
together and be able to introduce him to Jessie - it was an
awesome visit! Here we are at the reception together.
Sister of the Bride - Ken's cousin Lesley MacFadyen -
getting some snuggles with Jessie just before we took her
to our hotel room to put her to sleep with her very first
baby-sitters - Uncle Graham & Auntie Monica who flew
over from Halifax JUST to spend time with her (even if
she WAS sleeping!) We had a lovely lunch with them on
Saturday and then dinner with them at Graham's parents'
place on Sunday - so it was a GREAT visit!

to totally freak out because it was SO bed time!!)
