From Way Back When

I was working on a presentation for a Girl Guide event this weekend and needed some old pictures to use in it. Of course I didn't think about it until after 10:00 this evening and do I have a scanner at home? NO! Do I have access to a fantabulous scanner at work? Most certainly! Did I take the pictures with me? No! So, what to do? Take a picture of a picture of course. Not the first time I've done that this month. Turns out I didn't take any other pictures today. So, here is my good friend Hiromi doing a fan dance for us. Circa July 2001.

Not A Daffodil

I thought it was a daffodil until I got close to it. I'm not sure what it is though - anyone??

104

Transition

Is what it means.

104

What Does This Mean?

103

Somethings Stay The Same

I bought these for J's hair last night - they are pretty much identical to what we had as kids!

102

Phone Call

J was very happy to see us. Even happier to find that in the toy box at the house where we had lunch there were some telephones. So she could talk to Daddy. You know. In the same room. It's a bit hard to tell, but Alex is talking on the very cool, super stylish, much coveted, pink Princess phone.

101

Cookie Dough

We're picking J up tomorrow. We're meeting my parents at a family friend's house and she's making lunch for us, so I thought I better make some cookies to take with us. This is my favourite chocolate chip cookie recipe - the one we made as kids. Yummy.

Can't Make It To Mexico?

Have a seahorse instead.

HobNob

Rebecca came over for a glass of wine (or two)...I forgot about stuff like this...

098

What's Missing?

My baby! Look how empty her little bed is. Even her blanket is gone. But four more sleeps and she comes home.

097

Road Trip Snacks

My dad packed these up for us when we left. And we promptly forgot about them. Until I was unpacking and found them. Too bad the treat monster stayed behind!

096

So, If We Told You We Were Leaving And You Were Staying...

guess we know what you'd think - the grin says it all. We came home tonight, but this smiling, messy child stayed with her grandparents. What a new and exciting week for all of us!

095

The Easter Bunny Came

And brought treats. Like books. About Princesses. And Bunnies. AND PRINCESSES. Oh yeah, and like, twelve (YEAH! 12!) M&Ms! Lucky. Did she mention she got some PRINCESS books? Well, she did. Oh, and she'll share one of her 12 M&Ms with you, even if you don't ask!

094

Building Blocks

More cool stuff at Lalee and Bop's! Some of these building blocks even have faces!

093

Giraffe!

Lalee and Bop got J a giraffe to ride around the house. She wasn't so sure about the riding bit...pushing it seems much safer guys!

092

Old School

We're home in Kelowna for Easter and this gem was in the room where Alex and I are staying. That's me. And I'm about the same age, maybe a bit younger, as J is now.

091

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!

090

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.

089

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.

088

Out Like A Light

087

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!

086

Princess Book

Because princesses are the bestest!

085

Colours!

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

084

Gold Fish

083

Make Me Feel Better

PLEASE!

082

They're Over

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

Shoe Obsessed

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!

078

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.

077

Cure

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

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

076

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)

075

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.

073

Kissin' Cousins

072

Paralympic Opening Ceremonies

071

Paralympic Tickets

Woohooooooooooooo

070

New Phone

069

Llama

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

068

Happy Headlamp

Apparently a headlamp can make a small girl very happy!

067

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.

066

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!

064

Red Mitts

back

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

063

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!
