Livin' Life: March 2014

Monday, March 31, 2014. Could Spring Finally Be Here? Today the temperature reached high 40s and felt like high 50s when in the sun and out of the wind. AMAZING! We went out to the playground this morning and Helena said, "Look, Mommy - sand! It has been forever since we saw something other than snow and ice out there. Benjamin was in his element of 9-month exploration. He's only ever crawled outside on snow, so everything was so new. Plus there was the wonder of sand. Posted by Charlotte and John. This ...

Livin' Life: May 2014

Wednesday, May 28, 2014. A few minutes later H and I were doing her morning jobs - getting dressed, making her bed, brushing teeth, and combing hair. Having been asked if she wanted pig tails, braids or a ponytail, she responded "I'd like pink tails because I like pink." It was an ah-ha moment for me: she LOVES pink, and she almost always wants pig tails; I'd just never noticed her cute pronunciation before. A full day and a fun day. Posted by Charlotte and John. Sunday, May 11, 2014. It's a pretty great...

Sunday, February 23, 2014. This weekend was the Men's Retreat for our church. Since the dads were all gone, the moms and kids got together for a sleepover. Photo courtesy of Christa D. Can you believe we got all the kids in a photo, awake and not crying? Posted by Charlotte and John. Tuesday, February 18, 2014. Posted by Charlotte and John. Saturday, February 15, 2014. Breakfast was supposed to be delicious XOXO waffles. We ended the day with Chocolate Fun-due (as H calls it) and Finding Nemo. All in all...

Livin' Life: March 2015

Friday, March 20, 2015. We started the month in Niagara Falls with my parents. It was so much fun. None of us had ever seen the falls in the winter, and they were breathtaking. We also spent a bunch of inside time at a water park, which we all thoroughly enjoyed. As you can imagine, the kids were more than exhausted after all that fun. They both fell asleep within five minutes of starting to drive back home. After grocery shopping one day, Benjamin helped empty the clementines! Another walk in the snow :).

Livin' Life: What do you call these?
http://charlotteandjohn.blogspot.com/2015/04/what-do-you-call-these.html
Tuesday, April 21, 2015. What do you call these? Your answer is nearly always a giveaway for where you're from. So what do YOU call them? I called them donut holes once when teaching Sunday School, and my students swiftly corrected me. These are NOT donut holes. These are Timbits.". Timbits. Sold at Tim Horton's. The salted caramel variety is seriously the best pastry-sold-in-a-ball-form I've ever had. Other than that, they're just okay. Posted by Charlotte and John. April 26, 2015 at 8:17 PM.

Livin' Life: September 2014
http://charlotteandjohn.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 6, 2014. Sorting through photos months after they were taken is a good exercise for me. After all that time, I'm finally able to whittle them down to the best ones. At the same time, however, it's an emotional experience, as it always takes me back to those memories when my kids were so little! Posted by Charlotte and John. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Livin' Life: June 2014
http://charlotteandjohn.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 25, 2014. We all traveled with John while he attended a conference in St. Catherines, located a few hours away from Toronto. It was such a great long weekend. The kids and I just played, drove/rode in the car, played, shopped, and played some more. John was able to join us for a good portion of our fun, so that was an added bonus! The shopping wasn't their favorite, but the kids loved riding in shopping carts together. Please note this cart from Target was over half the length of our car!

Livin' Life: January 2015

Tuesday, January 13, 2015. On Christmas Eve, John ran an errand and when he returned home, Uncle Rob was with him. Helena was so surprised and so happy to see him! Since his sister adored him so much, it took all of five minutes for Benjamin to love Uncle Rob just as much. It was so great having him here for Christmas Day. This is our second year celebrating in our home, which we love, but having family to celebrate with us made it just that much better. Posted by Charlotte and John. Allan Garden Conserv...

Livin' Life: October 2014

Friday, October 17, 2014. Girl Scout vs. Girl Guide. We had our first opportunity to buy Girl Guides of Canada cookies this year. We bought the Chocolatey Mint Cookies, to see how it compared to Girl Scous of America version - Thin Mints. They are quite similar, but see that white creamy layer? They happily ate these but I'm sure they'd do the same with Thin Mints if they had the opportunity! Posted by Charlotte and John. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). John, Charlotte, Helena and Benjamin.
