Lost her third tooth today. It will be hard to forget the thrill in her voice when it happened.

It's been ages since my last post. A week of vacation away from the iPhone will do that to a blogger. And the two weeks before that I was side bared. But lately, I've been feeling the need to get back to this project. So much going on and all. An incredible week of family…… Continue reading On thin ice

//www.youtube.com/get_playerOur Friday night was going so well – until we sat down for dinner. I think ruby may be our emotional child. She really doesn't like it when Arden gets upset.

Spoon meet Arden. A recent visit to a friends house and the opportunity to watch her 18month old skillfully wield a spoon to eat cottage cheese inspired me to loosen the reigns a little and put the power in Arden’s hands. It was an entertaining first encounter in self feeding. For all of us.

Its an awesome tradition. You get to decide what’s for dinner, you get a cake (or in this case, you get the other…… Continue reading Rubys half birthday

//www.youtube.com/get_playerLast weekend, after the massive snow dump, we headed up to Camp Tawingo, near Huntsville, ON, for a weekend of pure winter. We tobogganed our hearts out, skated on the lake (which, for me, sums up the Canadian winter experience), went cross country skiing – both in the daytime and at night, drank ridiculous amounts…… Continue reading Amazing winter weekend

//www.youtube.com/get_playerThis video of Arden was taken a few days ago. She is pretty much obsessed with climbing the stairs and can’t be left alone near a flight of stairs for more than a few moments or she’s off to the races. And she couldn’t be happier with the situation. Can you blame her? She has…… Continue reading Up up and away

Last week, on Tuesday morning, I registered Ruby for Junior Kindergarten. I could hardly believe I was there – it was a surreal experience. On one hand, I was slightly giddy knowing she’d be occupied for the full day. On the other hand, I was slightly saddened by the fact that she’d be occupied somewhere…… Continue reading Kindergarten registration.

//www.youtube.com/get_playerRuby is full steam ahead with the imaginary play. This particular video was taken 2 weeks ago on a perfect saturday afternoon. We were at the skating rink with some friends, the sky was slightly overcast,  there was a light snow falling. It was cold enough to be winter and warm enough to be outside.…… Continue reading Vivid inner life
