Cement Trucks!

300411

J is obsessed with cement mixers and other large equipment. She was thrilled today when we told her we were going on an adventure. Ocean Concrete on Granville Island had an open house and J to pose beside some of the machinery, touch some of it, and even "drive" some of it. It was definitely an exciting day!

Tax Time

290411

Apparently I didn't think taxes were worthy of a photo in 2007 or 2009, but let me assure you, I did them. Looks like I'm getting closer to the deadline every year...I had great intentions this year, but the computer was out of commission (guess what the motivation was to finally get it fixed!?!?!)

The Nickle Nackle Tree

280411

The Nickle Nackle Tree was a favourite book at our house when we were kids. I was excited when J picked it out at the library all on her own...seems we have similar taste in books!

Current Project: Operation iPod

270411

Our iPod has been here for a little while and now I'm finally facing the huge task of loading our music on to it. I am motivated by the knowledge that when I'm done, I'll have two huge drawers and one shelf free for storage...

Chocolate Before Breakfast

J LOVED searching for all of the Easter goodies the Easter bunny left. She was thrilled when we told her she could sample the treats as she went…

Friends

230411a
J’s buddy Inara came over to our place this afternoon while her dad and grandpa finished cleaning their old place and her mom and grandma unpacked their new apartment. The girls had a great time at the park together.

We had dinner with Alex’s family today and J and Isabella were, as always, so happy to see each other…what a nice picture…

This is more like reality though!

We’ve been looking for a table and chairs for J’s room for quite some time. We finally found one that was the right price and size for her room…

We missed this computer…but it’s back now…hopefully for good!

Ice Cream Face

We went on an excursion to Granville Island this afternoon in search of some ice cream. J thought it was the best trip ever!

Blurry Dancing Queen

Yeah, this picture is horrible. But whatever. J’s daycare had a family baby beluga party tonight and the kids did some dancing and singing. Here’s my kid dancing in her special baby beluga shirt.

Sticker Face

130411

J got a parcel today from my parents…that included some stickers. The best place for stickers? All over your face apparently!

The Big Slide

J has been braving the big slide lately…the end is still quite high though!

Toddlers And Babies

We had a bunch of cousins over for dinner tonight. J and P are pretty much the same age. Baby C was here too, but she had left by the time we got the cameras out. Luckily the girls each had a photo of her!

Sand

J discovered the sand at the park tonight…she’d never noticed it before and had a great time playing with it.

Tree Hugger

060411

Alex worked a day shift today so we walked over to meet him after work. It took about 6 times as long with J as it would have taken without her…partly because we stopped to hug almost every tree.

Story Time

Auntie K came over tonight and spent some time reading books with J.

Cranky New Boots

040411

J got new rain boots this weekend to replace the pair she wore right through. She was excited when she left the house to show off her new boots, but by the time we got to her daycare, she was not a happy camper. Maybe the weather has something to do with it????

Weather Change

030411

It was a good thing we took advantage of the nice weather yesterday because today, well, it wasn’t quite so nice…but J was pretty happy to go out and play anyway!

Spring Tea Time

020411b

It was a lovely day today…so J and I went for a walk. She wasn’t so sure about the blossoms on the ground. She wanted to put them back on the tree!

020411a

I took some lovely tea with me…I got this yummy sampler from my brother-in-law for Christmas and the tea I chose today was so good!
