Valentine's Day 2016

Tavish and Keva dressed up for the love of it this Valentine's Day. We picked Daddy up at work, went out for dinner, and capped the evening with a skate at City Hall to celebrate the day of love together...

Ready for Bed and School

Two of Keva's favourite games ... putting 'people' to bed, and dressing up to go to school ... usually dressed up as "Tavish"! Welcome to our wonderful world of play...

"Tavish" going to school.

Everyone nestled in for the night.

Co-sleeping for naptime.

SING!

I took Tavish and a few pals off to see the movie, Sing! Although I may have caught a short nap (what can I say? Moms are tired), these three were riveted!

MOMENT: Sing!

I picked the Coady trio up from school (Tavish, Riley, Charlie) and had a TTC adventure to the movie, enjoyed some popcorn, then headed home with more adventures and singing of our own...

She Skates 2016-2017

Keva on ice. Taking to skates like a 4 year old pro! She skates. She stick handles. She scores!

MOMENT: Work in Progress...

Arizona Adventures 2016-2017

MOMENTS: Too Many to Name!

It's 2 weeks filled with family fun with a sweet sprinkling of friends too! Mark and Donna brought in the new year with us and we journeyed to Tucson to see Amy, Tom's childhood friend, and her family. Loads of Grandparent and Auntie time, plenty of adventures, and lots of movement. All the good stuff memories are made of... 

I Wish I Were that Lady

We arrived in Buffalo from our trip to Phoenix late last night, so stayed in a hotel. This morning, we are sitting in the breakfast area while Tom went out to try to clear and start our snowy car.

Keva (gets up from the table; heads toward the hotel room)

Tavish (eating breakfast at the table)

Mommy: Keva, it can be hard to wait, but we do things as a family.

Keva (pauses; reluctantly returns to the table)

Keva: I wish I was that lady.

Keva (nods her head toward a woman sitting on her own in the breakfast area)

Mommy: Why?

Keva: Because she is here by herself

Christmas 2016

It was an excited race to Arizona to get what we really wanted for Christmas this year ... Grandma, Grandpa, and Auntie Colleen!

MOMENTS: Family Fun and Presents too

Kids had a great time getting into the Christmas spirit in the desert with some of their favourite people. This included a trip to A Christmas Carol production for Tavish, some crafting, and putting out some treats for Santa and his reindeer. Gift giving was *almost* as exciting as gift receiving. Merry Christmas, everyone!
