Not sure why I don't have a picture of B with the berries... although come to think of it, he didn't pick too many of them. :-)

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. :-)

Fall 2012 Update
Once again, a lot has happened since I last updated this blog. I really do have good intentions about updating more often, they just don’t seem to translate into action. Maybe it will make a good New Year’s resolution.
Here’s what we’ve been up to since my last post…
My parents’ anniversary/my father’s birthday dinner:
B was just out of the shot on this one. I had another pic with him in it, but then all you see is his head…
DoT’s birthday:
Hallowe’en:
(FYI: E is a leopard (?), A is a vampire, and B (obviously) is Super Mario.)
When I asked them to pick their favourite treat when they came back from trick-or-treating, this is what they all chose… (Although, after a few sips, none of them wanted any more.)
And finally, “helping” with the yard clean-up to get ready for winter…
School is in full swing now. They are all doing okay, although following parent-teacher interviews last week it sounds like E and A need to be separated in class, or they can get a little out of hand. Why doesn’t that surprise me? B is thriving in the French-immersion program. He loves learning French words and is always asking us how to say something in French or reporting new words to us when he learns them.
All three are also taking piano lessons, swimming lessons and skating lessons this fall. It keeps us really busy. They love, love, love the skating lessons; and it is quite fun to watch them on the ice. We bought B new skates this week, and that set him back a bit since they were different than the ones he’d been used to. But, unlike softball in the summer, with skating he seems quite happy to just keep getting up and trying again. Good thing, since the lessons go until March. So if he didn’t like skating it would make for a long winter.
We’re all getting excited about Christmas coming. Today we saw Santa at the mall for the first time. When Santa asked them what they wanted to Christmas, A & E said an iPod, and B said “a marble”. Heh. Last year, B wanted a nutcracker. He is the easiest kid ever to buy for.
