Pictures by Elijah

Well, it's 9 am on a Saturday morning and everyone else is asleep. What?!?!? I know, very rare. I thought I'd try and do a post or two. Likely I'll have to finish later, but at least I can get started.

Due to the kitchen reno, we've been eating at Yehyeh and Goo Mah's place a lot lately. One day I was getting some video of Charlotte walking and Elijah decided to take some pictures too. Here are some of his shots!


(Oops, and now he's up!!)


Ok, finally finishing this now, at 4pm. :D

Some lost pictures and some videos

I just found these pictures, from May, I think. We must've had a couple good days of weather. I remember I brought Charlotte out to the grass for the first time. Elijah needed to water flowers of course - my little gardener.

Madeleine!

Tomorrow is Madeleine's first birthday!! Madeleine is my friend Jen's little daughter. They live in Scotland but come to visit often. They were here to visit in May and I didn't get around to posting any pictures from our day out at Granville Island together. In honor of Maddie's birthday I figure now is a good time!

Maddie, I hope you and your family have a wonderful day celebrating tomorrow!!

Charlotte's Birthday!

The other thing that happened recently is that Charlotte turned 1!!! June 10th of course! It's gone so fast. In the last month she's really made the transition from baby to little person. It's very fascinating for me to watch. She's walking several steps at a time, nodding, waving, giving kisses, dancing, singing, reacting to "no" with a big pout and tears and becoming better able to communicate. She like putting things in and out of containers, following her big brother around and eating big people food. She eats more than her brother!!

Here are some pictures from her birthday, around the house and dinner with Yehyeh and Goo Ma.

There's another one here as well.

Catching up!

Wowza, has time ever flown. Notice my last post was around the time I started back to work? Well, it's been over a month now and I'm finally going to post some stuff. The kids have gone through an adjustment period and I think I can say they're settled into the new routine now. Elijah protested going to daycare so frequently at first. It was hard to see them go every morning and it's still very strange to say that someone else spends more time with them than I do. Still not sure I'm happy about that, but we'll reevaluate as we go. For now I'm enjoying work although there is SO much to do.


The house is a mess. About the time I went back to work we started the kitchen reno. It's a big one! Moved doors and windows aroung, gutted the whole kitchen to redo plumbing, electrical and even the floors!! We can see the end now, but it's going to be a while still since we have to wait for the counter tops. I'm pretty excited though! At this point we can start to see how it's all going to look. Every time I go in there, I've got a grin on my face.


Anyway, back to the kids. We've been trying to spend more time with them on Saturday mornings. Mostly we've been to parks to play. It's been good. We've been to Confederation park to ride the trains, Central park a couple times, and tomorrow we're off to Harrison for the day to check out a summer trailer that some friends bought. The Vandops will be coming as well to the kids will have a blast, I'm sure. I'm looking forward to it as well.



So, here are some pictures of our recent park visits and around the house.
