Welcome Rose Lynn Watmough!







Dave and Kelly and both sets of Grandparents are thrilled to introduce you to ROSE LYNN, born on Tues, Sept 19th at 2:57 am. at 7 lbs. and 6 oz.




Ed and I managed to get up for a visit when she was only 4 hours old! Kelly and Dave were in terrific shape and were 'instant parents'. That protective Watmough gene came through another generation. Dave cut the cord, and Kelly's Mom was there to assist. Kelly was"a trooper" as David says, and looked great.

Rose is very popular and we booked her and her parents for Sunday supper to show her off( only 6 days old). Great grandparents Des and Leone, Great Aunt Russanne and Sarah, Great Uncle Doug and Russell, Katie and Emma made sure Rose was being spoiled! We think she looks a bit like Dave, especially when we took out his baby book! Dave finished off some university homework while Grandpa looked after his little girl.

'On the Spot' Art Exhibition



We invited the new family to Spot Light Gallery to see the 'On the Spot ' art exhibition...Rose's first art show and only 10 days old! I saw her little hand go up, and it should have a paint brush in it!!! Here she is with Great Grandma Leone.
We invited local artists to be part of an international paintout sponsored by the Alberta members of the Oil Painters of America. Unfortunately, the weekend we decided to go out to paint was the coldest weekend on record for Sept! We were very pleased to have 18 wonderful plein air pieces to exhibit.
People are invited to come and vote for People's Choice 1st, 2nd and 3rd. As well, we had sponsors in Canada and the US who donated prizes for the artists. Our local Gazette will be doing a feature on the winner.



We will have a full house for Thanksgiving and to celebrate all the Sept/Oct birthdays. Turkey Day is one of our favorites.
Here's wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving and we hope to hear from you soon!
