Here's our princess!!

This is our princess, Julie Jeannine Fontaine. She was born on June 30th, 2001, in Winnipeg, MB.
It's hard to believe that this little girl has already grown up, somewhat. She's turning 6 years old this year, and she's currently in kindergarten and loving itl. Since having started school, her vocabulary has really improved, especially her french vocab! (all those years of Denis and his family speaking French to her are paying off!!)
She's played soccer 2 years in a row now, and been in swimming lessons since she was 3 years old.
She's a social butterfly, not shy at all to make new friends.
She's currently trying to get Mommy to set up playdates with all the girls in her kindergarten class!
She loves horses, especially Tante Gisele's friends' horse 'Malachi', as well as My Little Pony and her Barbie horses. And unicorns too (what little girl didn't like unicorns or horses, eh?!)
She also enjoys helping Mommy in the kitchen. She has recently been named "Best Egg Cracker" by Mommy, since she helped Mommy make scrambled eggs this morning and there were no pieces of shell left behind!
Julie also enjoys baking cookies, eating pancake batter, and making toast. She's also started pouring milk from a 4 liter jug (only if it's half-full or less - thankfully!).
Probably the biggest change in her life up to now, has to be when she became a big sister.
Ashton was born on November 25th, 2003. She didn't quite get what he was all about when he was first born (she was still quite young - only 2 1/2 years old), but once he started crawling around and got into her toys & stuff, I don't think she loved him a whole lot!!
But thank goodness that changes, and she absolutely loves and adores her little brother. She still cannot properly pronounce his name - she says 'aston', but he doesn't speak well yet either, so he's okay (or 'otay' as he'd say it) with it!
Of course, there is so much more to Julie's life and there's just not enough room to tell you all about her. If there was one word or phrase to sum her up, I would have to say she is a passionate, beautiful, head-strong, funny, cute, and loving little girl. And, oh ya, she's definitely a sweetheart too!

What a beautiful little girl
"jolie Julie" as Grandpère likes to call her. We also can't believe that she will be turning 6 this year! Julie is growing up just too fast for us.
She's always a joy to have around and a great little helper when something needs to be done.
We both love her to pieces!!
