"Happy Birthday Ivy!"
Such a silly face, but the only pic I have of her in her birthday dress! She LOVED the twirl!
This cool necklace I ordered online :)
Baking cupcakes for Ivy's big #2!!
Berlin's encounter with the coffee table on Saturday morning ... as taken in the ER.
After meeting Dr. Carla. Just glue & steri-strips!! Hoping for a clean heal!
So we're having a couple friends over and celebrating on Saturday night with a pizza :)
Yep, it's here. No lie - it's like Edmonton is being buried, one day at a time ...... by snow. We have had more snow this winter so far (and it's snowing. right. now.) than any of the previous three winters we have lived here.
Some photos for you!....
Ivy & Berlin being silly :)
Ivy is an iPod/iPhone expert and LOVES listening to music.
Our swing-set. Can you see the swings? Ya, no? Neither can I!
The deck/hot tub. Clearly we're not using the hot tub this winter. :(
Anyway .... the girls are great!
Ivy is starting to talk up a STORM - she'll repeat pretty much any word - 'buckle', 'amazing', 'broken' (my iPhone), 'fixed' (my iPhone)...... and on and on she goes. Non-stop chatting. VERY cute and fun and cuddly. Now if only she'd eat food too - that'd be great. She has an ongoing love affiar with milk though, and prefers flavoured - vanilla or strawberry.
Berlin is a firecracker as always. Challenging, lovely, cuddly, rough, popular, smart, pretty and funny. Her current passion is cereal.
Nya is smart as a whip (as she has always been), doing fabulously in her studies and with loads of friends in grade 2 and her skin/feet have been simply amazing this winter. 'Almost makes me want to stay in Edmonton forever ........ Not.
I couldn't seem to add more photos to the last post .... so HERE:
Baking cookies for Christmas with Gramma!
The gondola ride in the Venetian (Las Vegas, Jan 5)
Happy New Year!
I know it's been way too long since i've blogged, and i promise to try harder in the coming months.
We had a wonderful Christmas with my Mom here and enjoyed our date-night time on New Year's Eve when she stayed with the girls so that we could do a hotel dinner/dance night with our friends Daniel & Dorissa too. The girls thoroughly enjoyed their time with Gramma!
The girls have enjoyed the holidays very much with lots of new things and experiences, but have also enjoyed heading back to school and routine this week.
Ivy is starting to talk a lot and repeat words. She does her best to keep up with her big sisters!
On January 2, Mike and I went on an adventure alone without the girls for the first time to Las Vegas for three nights. (photo in the next post)
Berlin tuns FIVE!! (Nov 7/10)
Nya turns SEVEN!! (Nov 21/10)
Nya's Christmas Concert at school (early December) .... my girls are SO BIG!
At school for Berlin's pajama family Christmas night
We just spent two days in the Badlands of Alberta. It was pretty stunning, surprisingly enough. I was quite amazed by the landscape - how is this my Province? Interesting, and beautiful, and pre-historic, it is.
Some photos .....
hi!
Nya asks almost every day how we can help find a cure for EB. Our plan at the moment is to do lots of fundraising this year. We are currently doing a fundraiser with Mabel's Labels! Order from now through September 15 and 20% of all sales go to DEBRA!!!!! Do it. Now. They are AWESOME labels for household, school, labeling clothing, shoes, anything you can think of. They don't come off in the dishwasher or washing machine either! I have some on kids cutlery from when Nya went to preschool that has not come off or faded in the dishwasher in 3 years!!
