Leslie Spit

September 20, 2015

My colleague and her husband, Martha Ann and Rakesh, took Tavish and I on an ecological adventure...



MOMENT: Birds and More!

We brought our bikes, called and identified birds, caught grasshoppers, built an inukshuk, and appreciated the city skyline. What a great adventure!

Street Partying

September 19, 2015

It's a one-day only party. The whole street comes outside to gather simply for the sake of gathering together. The cars move out. The people move in. A party on the street happens...







MOMENT: Rock Around the Clock

Obstacle course. Road hockey. Cupcakes. Face Painting. Dancing. Scavenger Hunt. Potluck. Movie. Party, party, party!

Frokie

August 30 - September 14, 2015


We were given the opportunity to foster a monarch caterpillar as it grew to be a beautiful caterpillar and head off on it's journey. We just weren't sure if our caterpillar was a Fred or a Freda ... thus the inspiration for "Frokie"

 







MOMENT: Milkweed for Growth

Twice a day we made sure caterpillar Frokie had a fresh new milkweed leaf and a clean place build it's chrysalis. We let Frokie take it from there...

Grade 1 and Daycare

Tavish is off to french immersion grade 1. No more "play-based" days.
Keva continues with Caeli, but will go two days a week to a small home-based pre-school with Moe.
Big year...



MOMENT: And They're Off!

I had the honour of walking Tavish to his first day of school and gathering some insight into what he was looking forward to. We celebrated this big day by eating dinner outside on the front porch. The second day of school, I was able to pick Tavish up from school. We stopped on the way home for some chill time with his buddy Riley (and Mommy Melissa).

Labour Day Weekend, Sandbanks Style!

What a perfect wrap to the summer of 2015. Beach time and buddies. Perfect.












MOMENT: Sand, Sun, Swim (Repeat)

We made our way to Sandbanks for a weekend of fun in the sun and were joined by our friends Joanne, Cam, Beckett, Quinn and Joanne's Mom! It was fun from sun up to sun down and beyond!
