Side Trip to Ottawa

November 6. 2015

It's the beginning of the turning-40 birthday celebrations being kicked off in Ottawa ... so away we went!

Hanging with the Richardson's

MOMENT: Fall Colours and Friends

Arriving at the door of Grandpa's house is always welcoming AND there's shawarma right across the street! We checked out some fall colours and played with friends. Thankful...

Yoga Boys

Tavish and his buddy, Riley, gathered together for the sake of yoga...

MOMENT: Theme Inspiration

Sure, there may have been a Star Wars theme that inspired them to participate in said yoga, but it happened and here's the proof!

Halloween 2015

This is quite the holiday around here...

MOMENTS: Party that Keeps Happening

Pumpkin carved? Check. House decorated? Check. Costumes made? Check!

Time to party!

Party with friends? Check. Parade with classmates? Check. Trick or treating? Check!

Dentist Time for Keva

October 20, 2015

It's a right of passage ... and the time came for Keva's teeth to be cleaned by the dentist.

MOMENT: Let Us Help You Smile

Keva was a super trooper! Well, for the first part. She never did submit to the pink glitter being put on her teeth. She's the strong silent type - polishing just simply was not going to happen. Her resistance was calm but firm. The whole experience was positive and hey, leaving with a balloon is pretty cool...

Giving Thanks 2015

Thanksgiving brought us to a provincial park cabin rentals with the Gambles!

  

MOMENT: Camping in Class

It was a lovely weekend. We had much to be thankful for...healthy children, fresh air, wonderful food, great company...

Falling for Apples!

October 3, 2015

We always love a feel for fall so headed out for a chilly adventure...

MOMENT: Chilly but Cool

We warmed ourselves up with some corn on the cob and a hot dog! Plus all the playing and apple snacking...

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!
