Cottage Living

Our family spent a night up at Torie's cottage. It was lovely. The weather was incredible! We had our first paddle of the season where Tavish tried out the bow of the boat with Torie in the stern. Tavish also caught his first fish! These highlights were enhanced by his proximity to Terry because, as usual, Tavish was Terry's little shadow...

Some great memories were made despite every outdoor moment being accompanied by blackflies ... (sigh).

11 Months

At 11 months, Keva is cutting her 10th and 11th tooth! After a short teething break from cutting her first 8 teeth (4 top, 4 bottom), she cut her first molar on her bottom right and now her two top canines are coming in - such a trooper... She still army crawls everywhere (and quickly) and is really starting to show her smiley personality. Only one more month until our baby is ONE!

MOMENT: 11 Months and Growing

Her 11 month birthday was a sunny spring day (finally) and we were off galavanting with friends and enjoying the sunshine. It was time to bust out some sun protection and it became apparent that Keva needs some serious hat training, but we did manage to capture a moment where the hat was resting on her head and not tossed to the ground...

Two Wheels

Exactly three weeks after his fourth birthday and following his third spin on his new bike, the training wheels were removed and he was off on two wheels. This sentiment surrounded him...

I want to ride my bicycle

I want to ride my bike

I want to ride my bicycle

I want to ride it where I like.

MOMENT: Biking Bliss

Tavish helped Daddy remove the training wheels after taking a spin with Mommy where they seldom touched the ground. It was time for them to go and Tavish was up for the challenge. He walked his bike to a nearby parking lot, rode around, and literally skipped home after full of excitement and beaming with pride. His parents celebrated this big moment right along with him...
