Welcome Elodie (and Madeline)!

So here are the details of how it all went down! We’d been alerted to the fact that my sister and her husband had headed off to the hospital at around one in the morning on May 10th, so while we were focused on an imminent baby in Winnipeg, it turned out that Elodie wasn’t […]

Big Bird at the World of Science

Currently the Telus World of Science, which is conveniently very close to us now, has a show in their Planetarium that combines Sesame Street and stars, which are two of Belle’s favourite things. So off we went for a morning filled with the wonders of science! Belle sat through the entire half hour planetarium show, […]

The Park

Just some pics from our first visit to one of our new local parks. Belle’s a big fan.

Easter Monday at the Muttart Conservatory

Today we headed off to the Muttart Conservatory for their Easter themed celebrations. There were tons of bunnies, bears and flowers all over the place. Belle especially enjoyed watching the goldfish and having tea in the daffodil and tulip pyramid.

Other firsts of this Easter included our first time cooking a ham, and our first time making scalloped potatoes (which, we discovered, take much longer to prepare […]

Banff

Hawaii!

So since we didn’t make it out to the Island for Christmas, we decided to meet up with my family on another island. We rented the three bedroom top floor of a vacation house in Kona and spent a week relaxing in the sun in Hawaii. Most of us had never been to Hawaii before, […]

Christmas!

While usually we spend Christmas on the Island or in Langley, a number of factors had us staying in Edmonton this year, and Guy and Shirley came and joined us! We had a fantastic Christmas and having Guy and Shirley out definitely helped us get over missing BC. I especially had a great time, since […]

Partying in Langley

Early in December, we headed out to Langley for THE Christmas event of the year, Guy and Shirley’s annual Christmas party! We had a great time visiting with friends and family and the party was fantastic, as usual.

Jamaica

So this is the post that’s been holding everything up, mostly due to the massive number of pictures involved. We’ve both done our best to narrow them down, but we’re still left with 132. Mostly I’ve been humming and hawing about where to split them, and how many posts to split them into, but instead, […]
