Important Instructions

We put the potty in the bathroom for Rhys......and Big Sister thought it necessary to provide an instructional diagram. (click to enlarge).

Park Pictures

Our Family.....on a beautiful day at Deer Lake.

Piano Princess

Lily's piano concert. After waiting patiently for her turn alongside friend Gabby, she played beautifully....and took home a shiny pink trophy! (click to enlarge photos, as usual)

Growing Gremlin

Rhys is getting big! This is playing in the backyard & park. Spilling a box of Cheerios on the kitchen floor. Passing out on the floor in the living-room....and enjoying the giant sand-box at the Children's Festival.

Silly Snacks

Cheesy Australia's for a snack...thanks to a cookie cutter sent from Australia by Nana.

Pollock Party

Lily's 6th birthday party. A Jackson Pollock Paint Splatter party at http://www4catsartsacademy.com/

Sunny Skiing

Lily & I skiing at Cypress at the beginning of April. She's getting good!!!

Walking Wonder

Yep....he's getting around on 2 feet. Trouble!

Kitchen Kapers

Naughty Rhys, getting into Lily's cookies when we weren't looking! (one bite out of each, and a pile of them on the floor!).......and Lily making herself an olive, salami & chocolate sprinkle sandwich for breakfast!!

Birthday Boy!

Rhys' 1st Birthday Bash!

Christmas Chaos

Christmas Day....lots of gifts to unwrap. Grandma & Grandpa came over for breakfast.....then we headed off to their place for Christmas dinner, and celebrations with the whole family.

Festive Fun

Leading up to Christmas....I returned to work after maternity leave. At almost a year, Rhys is a chatterbox, and cruising around the living room (but not walking on his own).
We went to see the Nutcracker Ballet, a Canucks Game.....and we went to Lily's Breakfast-with-Santa piano recital where she played 2 small pieces, a Christmas carol duet with her teacher, and sang Feliz Navidad in front of about 30 people!

Wild Weather

A record snowfall, a White Christmas...and of course the usual chaos on the roads, and people house-bound....but pretty nevertheless! We shoveled like everyone else....but also had fun toboganning, and even some skiing.....
This is Jason digging our car out (with Lily's help!), our backyard, and the icicles as seen from Rhys's bedroom window. The pirate? well....don't ask......(as usual, click on any of the pictures to enlarge them.)
