Reading to Grandpas

Keva has been working hard with Robin (OT) and has had success with her beginner readers! Who better to read to then her captive Grandpa audience on the phone? Each Grandpa was happy to hear a story read by a keen Keva! We've certainly uncovered a gal who loves to chat on the phone to her Grandpas!

MOMENT: Storyteller

Tavish Turns 9

A tradition is a tradition after all, so off we went to the sugar bush to celebrate another trip around the sun for Tavish!

Last year of single digit celebrations!

Family Sushi Dinner

MOMENTS: Friends, Forest, Fun & Sweets, Syrup & Sun!

This year, Tavish expanded the 'net' to invite a few baseball buddies and a few other kids from school, along with the usual suspects. The sap was flowing, so buckets were being collected and delivered by the birthday crew! There was forest frolicking, pancakes, and sweet loot bags for his buddies. This birthday party is one of the sweetest parts of the year!

Dressing up for Dinner at Grandpa's

One of our favourite treats is when Grandpa Mike invites us to his apartment for dinner. Keva pulled out all the stops for this dinner by getting all dressed up in her dining best from the basement tickle trunk. It's such a scenic walk through the alley there too, that I just had to snap a photo...

Post-Trip Debrief

Keva has become much chattier on the phone, much to the delight of Grandma and Grandpa who are interested in hear all about our March Break!

MOMENTS: Chatting

A good phone conversation goes with the flow...sure, some of this chat involved telling about our March Break, but there were also some tangents and other stories from both sides. I love watching my children love talking to my parents!

March Break 2018

A quick jaunt to Ottawa to visit with family before we went off on our way to our annual trip to Vermont. This year was much the same with adventures in skiing, skating, swimming, and plenty of snow! Added to that this year was bowling and the indoor climbing facilities! Even with changes, the great memories and the desire to do it again remain the same.

MOMENTS: Jay Play

Keva got up on skis, Tavish went higher up the mountain in snowier and blowier conditions. It was another great snowball of fun in Vermont!

Other Family

Keva has some 'imaginary' friends: Shelshe, Michael, Koo-Koo are the primary ones. Sometimes pretend Mommy, pretend Daddy, and pretend Tavish are around too...

Keva: Know what I like about my other family?

Tom: What?

Keva: They come with me everywhere I go.

Onion Duty

Tavish took back the task of pasta. This time, he was more prepared...

Penny Our Pet

Sure, she is a temporary pet, but boy does she make the obvious hard to ignore ... our children LOVE having a dog...
