Blanket In Use

Oh yeah, we love the blanket!

Marshmallow Blanket

This lovely blanket arrived today…the yarn is amazing and it looks like purple flecked mini marshmallows and it is ever so soft. Thank you amazing Louise!

A Teenager, A Tiara, And A Tiny Baby

Tiara Making

We needed something to do this afternoon, so we decided to try out the tiara kit that came yesterday.

It was a hit!

Reading About Tiaras

We got a parcel in the mail today with a tiara craft book for J and a super soft bunny for Baby C…

Thumbprint Masterpieces

J made thumbprint cards for her teachers for Christmas last year and loved it…I thought these might be good inspiration for some other thumbprints she could try.

Crooked Grin

Blowing Bubbles

My mom is here helping us out right now, so I was able to go out with J and have some time just for the two of us…I can’t walk very far yet, so we only ventured into the courtyard, but it sure made J happy!

Early Morning Bath

Sun Run And A Serious Conversation

TeamHardCore ran in the Sun Run today. We didn’t watch as much as we usually do (I can’t stand that long yet) but we made sure we saw TeamHardCore. She was dressed in blue for Boston. Besides the creative costumes, it was interesting to see how people paid tribute to Boston – lots of different shirts.

Not sure what these two are discussing, but it looks pretty intense.

Wild Kratts Party And Sisterly Love

Well,  couldn’t decide, so today we have two pictures.

One of J’s buddies from daycare had his birthday this weekend. He had a Wild Kratts themed party and all the children were asked to dress up like their favourite animal. J is butterfly (she also had wings, but they didn’t fit under the creature power suit)

After the party, C’s first, J and C lay on the ground and had a birthday party debriefing.

Concentration

J came home from daycare and decided to work on an art project. I’m not sure what it was, but she eventually got distracted by the hockey game and abandoned the project.

And Still More Dozing

More Dozing

Dozing

There is a lot of this happening…whoever is holding Baby C, falls asleep with her on the couch…that’s a lot of cricks in our necks!

Face Self Painted

Here’s how my little lady came home today…she has stopped wearing her big sister shirt all the time, now that a friend of mine sent her a very special big sister card that came with a button.

Sunday Morning Painting

J was pretty happy this morning when I said she could most definitely paint while C took her nap…and she loves painting so much that it kept her busy through two naps and one feeding.

Two Girls

Thumb Sucker?

We’re not sure if we have a thumb sucker or if that hand just happened to find its way there…only time will tell!

Bedtime Stories & Mutual Adoration Society

J read C a very special bedtime story tonight. It was a “scary fairy tale” and J read it out of the “What to Expect” book.

The Look Of A New Dad

That Shirt Again

J has been wearing her big sister shirt since Saturday! At least she’ll take it off to sleep so we can wash it for her! (Although she doesn’t want it washed, so we’ve had to be careful to put it back where she took it off)

Sister Meets Sister

We came home from the hospital today and my mom brought J home from Kelowna to meet C. J is over the moon and in love with this little bundle. You can’t really see it, but tucked under J’s arm is a pink and white puppy so that C can have her very own Woof!

Wide Eyed

She’s Here!

Our baby bean arrived at 12:46 this morning…she teased us for about ten days and gave us a few scares and last night the doctor decided it was time. She’s here. She’s healthy. Her lungs work. We’re exhausted. We’re happy. J is in Kelowna. And the baby girl does not have a name yet…but she’s here!

Back Again

We’re back at the hospital…maybe tonight we’ll become a family of four???

Tiny Booties

I realized that I have no idea where the newborn socks are and no non-pink tiny clothes with feet…I didn’t feel like wandering around trying to find newborn socks, so I whipped up these tiny booties. I’m not sure if they will fit…they told me last week Boxing Bean is over 7lbs now…

New Camera?

Yes, new camera to replace the one that died. And this one has some interesting settings that I just had to try out. (and yes, it’s time stamped yesterday, but I had some challenges setting the time and date)

Easter Flowers
