Penny Our Pet

Sure, she is a temporary pet, but boy does she make the obvious hard to ignore ... our children LOVE having a dog...

 

Keva Through the Ages

Thanks to Google for creeping our entire video and photo collection over the years! Well, sorta - it's creepy, but *maybe* the creepy is worth it for this awesome montage it magically made of our Keva over the past few years. [insert Mommy melt]

Fancy Party

Keva and I decided to have a fancy party.

Fancy Keva

Fancy for Two

Fancy Treat

Fancy and Fabulous Together

MOMENT: Very Posh

We pulled out all the stops: curling iron! jewellery! dresses! We made our fancy way down Coady giving a curtsey to everyone we knew. We enjoyed a fancy treat and even read a Fancy Nancy book. Then, we made our way home, in the fanciest way possible, of course.

First child to Shave

Keva caught playing with a razor... turns out, they're sharp!

Beer for Keva Feb 23, 2018

So, a friend and neighbour watched my kids and hers at our place for a short while one afternoon before I got home from work. 

Here is her account of her time here with Keva...

"OMG, Keva is awesome. 

She’s contemplating how to draw a dog. 

“I’ll just draw a circle for the head. Then draw her paws and her bum and her tail and her vagina. Oh, and her ears.” :)

We are currently playing restaurant and I’m the waitress. 

I asked her what she would like to drink while I go and get food ready. “Beer.”

Kath, Keva has asked for three refills of her beer! 

Basically, she is all of us :)

Now Keva is playing bedtime, which is just the easiest game ever.

I was so digging the bedtime play but then the girl needed her beer again!"

Funny Night

Ever since Keva was ill in the fall, she's been coming into our room at night.  Poor Daddy has been consistently turfed to a much smaller bed on the other side of the house.

While sleeping with Keva last night, I was awoken by a strange sound. I heard laughing. I thought maybe she was laughing about something I had done or that she was awake. Turns out, she was fast asleep! She laughed a few more times, too! It is delightful to know that she can have a good time around the clock!

Family Day Weekend: Ottawa, 2018

We packed Penny up and hit the road to Ottawa. We were ready for some family time and some winter fun!

MOMENTS: Family and Fun

We made use of Grandpa Mike's home on Holland with all of the snow outside and the workshop inside. It was great to see Michele and the boys on Family Day weekend this year as well! We hit up Winterlude and had our traditional brunch with Rachel and family on our way out of town. Always a great winter long weekend.
