(Badly Belated) Birthdays: New and Ninety

Ok so once again it has been much too long since I posted, but life has been busy. That's a good thing though, being too busy living life to have time to blog about it, right? That's what I've been telling myself anyway for the past 3 months...

Two major events have happened in my family since I last made time to post here:

My sister Veronica and her husband Chris welcomed their first baby, Timothy Walter Falk on March 5th. He is happy and healthy (not to mention, adorable. Ok, I'll mention it - he's adorable!!). Part of the reason I've been putting off posting this is that all the photos I took of him brand new at the hospital are hiding somewhere in cyberland and somehow got missed when Matt updated our computer and put in the new hard drive, they're hiding on the old one and he's promised to rescue them soon. We're thrilled to have a new nephew and happy for them as they are adjusting very well to life with a baby. So here are a couple of the few photos I have taken of him, one after Easter dinner at our house and another of the happy family at the baby shower.
At the beginning of May we travelled to Taber to celebrate my Granny's 90th birthday with her. We had a tea at her senior's manor and then a dinner for a great many family and friends at a hall later that evening. She was thrilled to see everyone and enjoyed the day thoroughly. It was great to see many family members and family friends. Here's a picture of Granny with our family and Veronica's family at the tea (sorry for the bad photo, too many cameras were out) and one from the leftover eating party the next day at my aunt's house, which I love so I thought I'd include:
Other happenings: In April we had all our Olferts here for Easter and to celebrate Matt's mom's milestone birthday with a girls' afternoon at the Alice in Wonderland Ballet, and a wonderful (grown up) family dinner out downtown. We also rented scaffolding and painted our front hallway/foyer and changed the chandelier. Also in May, Jaina and I have been to Spark camp, we've celebrated my birthday (not a milestone), visited Jason and Michaelia and our other nephew Oscar in Edmonton, and brought our yard a bit up to our new neigbourhood's standards. So, more to come hopefully this week on some of our other activities.
For now, a much overdue:

Welcome Timothy!

Happy Birthday Granny!
