Catch-up post part III

We also painted the kids’ bedrooms this summer.  The kids picked the colours (with veto power by mom)…

We did some apple-picking and some hiking this fall…

Hallowe’en 2013:

Which brings us to Christmas preparations …

Earlier this month the kids sang (with other kids who take piano lessons from their same teacher) at a Seniors residence…

And that brings us up-to-date.  When I downloaded pictures from our camera, there were over 600 of them, so obviously this isn’t everything we’ve been up to… but it will do for now.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Catch-up post part II

Happy family day, E & A!

Another wonderful vacation in Grand Bend…

We had a wonderful vacation in PEI, meeting up with friends from our travel group when we adopted A & E…

… and visiting family in NB…

We learned how to fish (thanks, uncle Ben and uncle Preston!)…

We had one week of gymnastics camp…

Huge catch-up post(s)

Okay, so I haven’t updated this blog in *forever*!  So, I’m going to be uploading a tonne of photos to try to document what we’ve been up to for the last year.  I’ll probably have to break up the post for it to load, so look for more than one post.

So, I don’t remember when this is from, but I do remember it was “Pirate Day” at the care-givers.

A cold, cold day at the Sugar Bush…

Dying Easter eggs…

And the finished product…

Happy birthday, B!…

Happy birthday, girls!  (At Star Gymnastics)….

Winter catch up

So, once again much time has passed since I’ve updated this blog.  Not much has been happening though, so you haven’t missed much.  Basically just homework, homework and more homework.  I can’t imagine the amount of homework we have ahead of us given the amount we’re doing now and the girls are only in grade 2.  Fortunately, B doesn’t yet get a lot of homework, or I’m not sure how we’d get it all done in the evenings.

In February we celebrated B’s 4th “Family Day”.  We had a little celebration with balloons, Chinese food and cake.



We are all anxiously awaiting spring.  This is what our front yard looks like…. Still lots of snow….


But look what I discovered right beside our driveway yesterday….


Yeah!!  Nothing excites me quite so much at this time of the year as perennials poking through the soil.  Spring is coming!!  I can’t wait.

One last thing... I was getting a tonne of spam on this blog, so I've changed the settings and you will now need a Google Account to leave a comment, and I will be reviewing comments before they show up here.... Not like any of you were leaving comments anyhow!  But I can dream.  :-)
