TTC Travel Smiles

Our journey to Arizona begins with TTC travels...






MOMENT: Smiles Warm Hearts

On our epic TTC trip to the airport on a hairy Friday after work with the kids, Tavish, Keva, and I were pinned in our seats by our luggage and laughing about all sorts of things. Out of nowhere Tavish says "I really like your smile". Heart melted, smiling and giggles continued...

'Tis the 2015 Holiday Season

'Tis the season to be jolly!

Seasonal Santas!
Urban Tree Cutting
The Lights of our Life
Reindeer Keva
Reindeer Tavish
Christmas with Grandpa Mike...
...but without Daddy for a few days!
Christmas with Caeli
MOMENT: Month of Festive Feelings

We went to the Beach to see Santa light up the trees along the boardwalk. We checked out the Brickworks festivities and did some caroling. We got a tree to decorate along... with our home and ourselves! We did crafts and created gifts. We enjoyed Tavish's holiday concert at school. We pre-Christmas'd with Grandpa Mike and Caeli. We even had an unexpected adventure of Daddy hanging out in the hospital for 6 days...but 'tis the season to be jolly, so we kept our spirits high in his absence while we awaited our holiday time together!

Fashionista

Keva isn't super assertive in choosing her clothing, but when she does, it's sure to impress...

MOMENT: Miss Independent

On this particular day, she had an interest in shoes ... and wearing a skirt ... and generally going where she'd like and trying on what she'd like. It was wonderfully random and fun to watch. She has a more refined preference for shoes than I do, I'll give her that!

Squeaky Clean

October 15, 2015

Every adventure needs to be tidied up eventually ... these little adventurers even make splashing memorable.

Local Baseball

Nothing brings together the community like a pick up baseball game at the nearby park.


MOMENT: Dads and Lads

It ended up mostly being the boys from the street who gathered at the park with their bats and gloves, often bringing along a parent to play as well. It became a bit of a weekly event in the fall. Whoever was around joined in. No striking out in this game, all swings and smiles!

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!
