Treats!

Alex went to a christening on Sunday (J and I stayed home because we were feeling yucky and new babies don't need to be exposed to our yuckiness) and came home with a treat bag. J likes treats. She really just discovered them today, but she likes them. She particularly likes the ones that have a picture of a quack or a baaaa on them!

Laundry

There was a time when the laundry rack was pink. All pink. Maybe with a little bit of white and a splash of purple thrown in. But pink. In its many shades.

Not so much anymore. J has grown up a bit and now we're allowed (at least by baby clothing manufacturers' standards) to dress her in something other than all pink. Check out the brown. And the orange. And she has (not pictured here) some blue and red and purple too! And her favourite hoody, it's brown. See. Brown is a girl colour.

Serious Multitasking

I'm not sure how she got the puppy since it's definitely not allowed at the table, but Bop was on the phone and she had to talk to him. HAD. TO.

Earth Hour

I took some pictures of downtown, but I didn't use the tripod, so they suck. But Vancouverites also suck. Yaletown was lit up before eight and we stood and watched and nothing noticeable changed after eight. I guess they didn't get the memo!

Princess Book

Because princesses are the bestest!

J's crayons, also known as colours at our house!

They're Over

The Olympics and Paralympics are done. Downtown was a little sad today.

For Your Listening Pleasure

Hello! Hello!

When the phone rings, J gets all excited, says hello hello...she's be happiest if I'd let her actually have the phone!

Canadian Love

Canada lost the semi-final sledge hockey game to Japan, but it was still a great game to be at. And the people across from us waved their flags and red things until after the final buzzer.

Cure

I think I finally found the cure for my horribly chapped lips....

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Banana Collection

Someone needs to get on the banana bread making before the ones in the lower right hand corner turn to fuzz or liquefy (ewwwwwwwwwwwww)

Farm Population Explodes

J's little farm went from a population of six to a population of lots over the weekend. Her Papa gave her a few new farm friends.

074

Sledge Hockey

We took J to the sledge hockey game with Rebecca and Jared (oh, not the best grammar...) It was lots of fun and she loved cheering.

Llama

J's favourite of her barnyard toys. She loves saying Llama over and over and over again!

Happy Headlamp

Apparently a headlamp can make a small girl very happy!

Key Rescue Kit

So, my keys, well, yeah. They're living at the bottom of our elevator shaft. It's a long story. But that's where they are. And that's where they've been for a while. Alex bought a magnet last week to try to retrieve the keys. This is the rest of the rescue kit and hopefully the rescue will be performed this week.

Slide Time

We spent close to an hour and a half at the park this afternoon - J and her daddy had lots of fun playing together - the slide was definitely their favourite!

065

Papa Puppy

Papa gave J this puppy and she spent this morning showing me this one and saying "Papa Puppy." Then she'd show me her stuffed puppy and say "Bop Puppy." She's figured out who gave her what!

Red Mitts

I love the tags from the red mitts - the mascots are wearing the mitts too!

Full Bloom

No doubt about it, Vancouver thinks spring is here.

062

Key Rescuers

Alex got these super strong magnets that we're going to drop down the gap in the elevator and try to recover my keys. They have been living down there for a few weeks and it's time to have them back1!

061

It's Not Over Yet

The Paralympics are still to come...and hopefully Vancouver will be just as excited about that!
