I've been meaning to capture the moments that make motherhood so special and although there are many videos and photos which will account for the first 15 months of Tavish's life there are no journals or scrapbooks. So, this blog will document the tid-bits and tales of the moments that make a mother proud, happy and generally enthused about this ride that is motherhood. This has been created for me but I invite you to read, share and enjoy this collection of moments too.
Daddy went off golfing with some buddies the day before Father's Day which gave us the opportunity to create in secret then adventure and enjoy the whole Father's celebrating this great Dad!

A delicious Daddy-day dinner: steak, baked potatoes, asparagus, arugula salad
MOMENTS: Daddy Rocks
The kids excitedly gave Daddy his new BBQ backyard sign and their self-penned Father's Day Book first thing in the morning. We made use of the sunny weather and paddled "Sweetride" to the Island for some beach time and lunch. Some lovely provisions were purchased and ready for Tom to do his thing and the whole family ate like royalty, all spaced out in the back yard. Happy Father's Day, Tom.
We just keep the spirit alive by doing more of the same stuff and some different stuff, stay mostly in the same place, but sometimes go check out different places (but seriously, not very often, we are usually right here at home...)
The best kids to be quarantined with. Ever.

Family from afar, but finally closer with the weather better!
Friends from afar, but better than not at all!
MOMENTS: Keep on Keeping on
We continue to make the best of the situation and having the weather improve has enabled us to get out more easily, but also to hang out (distanced and safely) from our loved ones. We've also been having some fun with our food, Tavish in particular. Lilac candy, homemade ice cream, pretzels and more!
Keva dove into the world of Girl Guides this year as a Brownie! She looked forward to Monday nights and the time with other girls her age.

Keva the Brownie!
MOMENT: Brownie Fun
It was a bit of a strange start in that Keva was called on to sell cookies before she had ever been to Brownies, but we used the street party to really kick things off and were successful! The whole year (until Covid shut it down early) was fun-filled with games, crafts, lessons, play, and song.
It's true ... my children are creative geniuses. Came up with a story, costumes, did the acting, and filming of this one of a kind Paw Patrol movie! It was planned (storyboarded) and filmed on site over the course of a few days in May. Mommy finally edited to together for you to enjoy...
