Thank you for everything, Oma!

We dropped in on Ruby Street with our camera last Thursday (10 April) to make sure that we got pictures of "Harry at home" before Oma Neudoerffer had to go back to Guelph the next day. These pictures are for all of us but they're sent with special love for Auntie Sarah and Auntie Cecelia and their families in Paris and Warsaw ...

Oma, "Lovie," and Harry, ready for action

Princess Lydia preparing to dance ...

Dr. Mummy at work, with Oma assisting

"Thank goodness that's over!"

"Want to see my celebration dance, Auntie KK?"

"I promise I won't taste it, Oma!"

"Let's all get on the counter!"

Harry's on the go, with or without his I.V. feeding (which provides essential nutrition several times a day)

The welcome beginning of spring in Winnipeg

Just like his Daddy. (Auntie Kathleen has vivid memories of toddler Henry pointing imperiously at whatever it was he wanted ... )

"If I could draw your attention to this cookie, Uncle Gareth ... "

"Hey, I'd recognize that camera anywhere."

Sorry we took so long to get the pictures up here: we got a bit slowed down at our own home by one of those routine hospital procedures that requires a day of preparation and half a day of recovery but only 15 minutes in a room with a doctor!
