Waiting to Play

April 3, 2015

Tavish LOVES his new hockey equipment? He will play with anyone at any time and virtually anywhere.

MOMENT: Waiting for Ahmed

Tavish was ready ... so ready to play, but Ahmed was later than expected. It was okay, Tavish kept himself busy and was more forgiving than normal since it was Ahmed who gave Tavish and Daddy tickets to a Leafs game just a few days after his birthday. This hockey love is real!

When Winter Keeps Us In

January - March, 2015

Sure, this family loves to be outside ... but there are times that the family plays inside. So much play, so many warm memories...

MOMENTS: Warm and Wonderful

Even when we're cooped up, we run around ... and spin ... and create ... and eat ... and clean ... and play ... and ...

Getting Outside

January - March, 2015

Making the most of winter, 2015 style!

MOMENTS: So much snow, So much fun!

Skiing. Skating. Sledding. Snowflakes. Quinzhee making. So much fun. So many memories...

Son is SIX!

March 24, 2015

So ... that happened. Tavish, my "baby" boy turned six...

Good Morning, Six Year Old!

Happy birthday with hockey gear...

...and Star Wars douvet from Mom!

Birthday party pancakes!

MOMENT: Happy Birthday-days to Tavish!

Tavish came home from school on his birthday to find some hockey equipment and a homemade Star Wars douvet cover/curtain set. His hockey gear was in full use immediately, even in our livingroom! The official  party was on Saturday at a Maple Syrup festival with pancakes, maple syrup, cupcakes, and outdoor fun. Six is off to a great start!

Final Leg of March Break

March, 2015

We made the most of our trip home from Vermont by spending a night in Kingston, then heading to "Torie's Farm" for the night. This is always a highlight of the winter for our family...

Keva exploring the farm

Tavish and Torie tree tapping

MOO!

MOMENT: Snow, Syrup, Cows

The kids discovered two 'end tables' in Kingston had wheels ... they were moveable entertainment for hours! Keva discovered her love of the digital camera on this trip too...if it was quiet, we hoped she was engaged with that and not into other stuff! Tavish helped Torie tap a maple tree and Terry took both kids out on the ATV this year to feed the cows!

Jay Peak 2015

March Break, 2015

Second annual journey to Vermont where Tavish tore up the slopes, the kids splashed around at the indoor waterpark, and the whole family made the most of what winter has to offer!

MOMENTS: Snow and Slopes

This was the year that Tavish made Mommy realize that it won't be long before he out-skis her! He was a natural out on the slopes. He even found himself skiing happily down a forest trail! As a family, we did some snowshoeing and enjoyed the waterpark. Daddy and Tavish also went skating and created their own curling game! Such a wonderful way to be together regardless of the winter weather!
