From the Archives: Valentine’s Day

Since Valentine’s Day 2012 happened to be the day that we closed on the purchase of our first house, we decided it deserved better than simply being derided as a “Hallmark Holiday” and we did it up in style. Cupcakes, balloons, lots of red, pink and white, and later on we had a cheese and […]

Elodie Gets Tall

I looked into the living room earlier today to see Elodie standing up beside the couch, which she’s never done before as far as I know. I’d never even seen her attempt to pull herself up on anything. About an hour later, we saw this. Time to lower the crib, apparently.

Just Some Afternoon Pics

Just some pics of Isabelle and Elodie rolling around on the floor, cuddling and reading about whisky.

Locomotion

Here Elodie experiments with some different techniques.

This Makes Us Pretty Happy

While we find this video ridiculously cute, it’s also the beginning of an extremely important era; the era of sisters keeping each other entertained!

Winnipeg!

Here’s one from the Archives! Back in October, we headed out to the ‘Peg to visit Kathleen, Brian and Maddie. We were a little leery after learning from Kathleen that “a Winnipeg Handshake” was a euphemism for being stabbed, but we steeled our nerves and out we flew. Isabelle’s immediate and exciting discovery was that […]

Isabelle turns three!

Quick birthday update! Yesterday Isabelle turned three and we celebrated in Victoria at my parents’ house with family and a ton of Tinkerbell decorations. She awoke to balloons, an umbrella and a party dress, and the day just kept getting better. Cousins Maddie, Mollie and Anna were the little attendees, with Kathleen and Brian, Brian’s […]

Darcy and Rich Visit for Thanksgiving!

Here’s one from the archives! Back in October, our good friends Darcy and Richard stopped in on their way across the country. We had a great time catching up, unleashing Isabelle on them, introducing them to Elodie, and enjoyed a great Thanksgiving dinner with them and Matt and Shaz.

Isabelle gets her snow legs.

Since we get pretty busy and occasionally neglect the blog at times, we’re going to start putting in the occasional “breaking news” update, interspersed with the “from the archives” post. So here’s a breaking news update, since it just happened today! Since our last snowshoe excursion, we ordered Isabelle her own pair of snowshoes in […]

Falloween

At the end of September we headed out to Prairie Gardens, north of Edmonton in Bon Accord, for “Falloween” with Matt and Shaz. We’d never been out there before, but we were set on picking up some pumpkins, checking out the corn maze and just exploring the countryside. We discovered that they also had a […]
