Puddle Jumping
On Wednesday, we let mom have some shopping time, so I stayed home with Belle and Elodie while Michelle headed off to THE mall. Conveniently for me, both the girls napped for the majority of the trip, but once they woke up, Elodie had a bottle and then we headed out for a walk. It […]

Facepainting
During the school year, our community league puts on an indoor playground that we’ve been going to on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It’s basically a gymnasium full of pedal cars, toys, playsets, slides and books. There’s even a whole bunch of exersaucers for those with really little kids. The parents and nannies all sit around drinking […]

Curly Sue
Belle has some seriously curly hair, and recently Michelle made an attempt to tame it. Fawning over Belle by strangers went up 27%.

The St. Albert Children’s Festival
We’d heard from a few different sources that the St. Albert (a small community north of Edmonton) Children’s Festival was definitely worth the admission and drive, so last Friday we headed up for the morning. We almost went to one of the main shows, but instead settled for simply exploring the festival at large, and […]

Isabelle Gets Over Her Hippophobia
Last Saturday we went to the annual Picnic in the Part event, thrown by our neighbourhood community league. We had a great time and there were face painters, a bouncy castle, various entertainers, lots of great food and most importantly, pony rides. After our disastrous trip to the horse show, we were somewhat surprised when […]

Around and About in May
We’re settling in to life as a family of four, and here are some pics from around the house and at the indoor playground. Currently we’ve adopted a “divide and conquer” strategy, as Michelle looks after most of Elodie’s needs, while I keep Belle busy, and it’s working out well. In terms of Belle adjusting […]

Fun in the Sun in May
May in Edmonton has been great! Not only did we gain a new baby, but the weather has been fantastic. Whether it’s the horse show, the farmer’s market (where Belle got her balloon elephant) or the local playground, we’ve been out and about having a great time. Even with other trips and gymnastics, Isabelle has […]

Horses
Isabelle loves horses. Or, at least, we thought she did. Since she loves to point horses out from the car, and in books, and on tv, etc, etc, we thought she might like to see some horses up close. Michelle found a horse show that was happening nearby, and we headed out to treat Belle […]

Construction
Here are some pics of the fabulous job Guy did in finishing off our fence and adding a gate. For some reason, the fence had never been finished on the North side of the house, and there was just lattice and an opening between the garage and house, so in the interests of privacy, and […]
