This really is old news as this happened in September…Our darling daughter decided she’d had enough of her training wheels and wanted to go without. I coached her a little on how to get started while she still had the wheels and that boosted her confidence enough to give it a go. I was actually rather shocked as in the spring she road her bike like a little granny who was afraid of her shadow.
Here’s to you Baby Girl! Way to set a goal and accomplish it without even blinking an eye!
My son is allll boy. Rough and tumble. Into e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g.! AND, he’ll be 2.5yrs old in two days. Where did the time go? He torments his big sister, yet is the first to give her a big hug in the morning and misses her dearly when she’s at school. He’s also quite petrified of the barber…so he’s sporting quite the “hockey hair” at the moment. I think it looks adorable, but I guess it is getting a little long as I’m oh so tempted to stick a barrette in the front!! Oh well, we’ll figure out something, but for now, enjoy my shaggy little cheesy eating munchkin! I could just gobble up those little freckles across his nose…sigh…
A few more from Saturday’s session 🙂 Couldn’t you just gobble them up?!
Little miss photogenic here was quite the poser! It was awesome!!
I love the look of sheer joy on their faces!! Warms my “mama soul”!

Apple! Last Saturday we went apple picking for the first time and the kids had a ball! It was a gorgeous morning and we managed to get there before it got too busy. Here’s a few of the images from the fruits of our labour (I crack myself up…no really!).
The light was pretty splotchy, but my “Mommy goggles” still liked these…
Auntie treated the kids to some apple cider in these cute little apple-shaped juice cups…Campbell kept saying, “This red pepper apple juice is goooood!”
And a picture of the two of them, happy, for once!!
Fall is here people…fall is here…

Um, ya, so apparently my daughter would still like a baby sister to dress up…Sorry honey, it ain’t gonna happen!! Little Dude is so rough and tumble he just looks hilarious when she dresses him up in her clothes…poor kid!
Hope this made ya giggle…Oh, and he’s sitting on the dog food container in case you’re wondering! 😉
Just a few images of my girl squeezing the last bit of summer out…she’s a barefoot dress wearin’ fool, so I’m sure she’ll be thrilled to have to go back to bundling up like the kid on “A Christmas Story”!!
Enjoy what’s left of the nice weather! xox
Isla has been dying to get to school since JK (junior kindergarten) ended last June. Sometime over the summer, she shot up like a weed, sprouted a little ‘tude and started to read…a lot… All the girls were very excited to see each other again after their summer break and Campbell benefited by getting hugs from all of them too. Man, he’s going to love having an older sister in a few years 😉
Here’s a few images from Monday…sigh…
Isla’s best bud was equally happy to get back at it and see all of her friends…
However, the little brothers were less than happy to watch the girls head off to class without them…
We dropped Isla off for her first day and went to pick her up, but she decided (after a quick hug for her brother…not even me!) that she wanted to take the bus home. Sheesh…fine. We’ll see how much you like the bus at -25C little girl! LOL!!
We raced home to meet the bus and Campbell was a little disturbed as to why she wasn’t with us. However, he agreed to wait for the bus with one of his favourite toys from last Christmas:
She finally arrived with a very happy glow and the two of them were thrilled to see each other…at least for the first half an hour of the reunion!
Happy Skool School Days…And to all of you teachers out there…May the force be with you! 🙂

So I think I’ve figured out where my headaches are stemming from…this little thing I’m staring at right now. Sheesh. I’m STILL going through a million and one pics from the west coast and my eyes are killing me from staring at this stinkin’ computer, but my deadline is fast approaching as we leave for the east coast on Saturday! Yup, you read that correctly…it’s a bi-coastal summer! Our plans still aren’t totally set, but we’re going to see where the island (PEI that is) takes us. Should be fun!!
Here’s a few more from Victoria – Willows Beach to be exact.
Happy Tuesday!
Still sifting through all the photos of our trip…I’ve gotta get it done before we go on our next little adventure to the East Coast. Not bad for one summer, eh?
Here’s a few more…
“Two Dollars”…All sand dollars are just that according to my son…fun to see them wash up on shore at low tide in Tofino…sure do miss that ocean smell!
An urban shot in Victoria…so many awesome locations there that my head was imploding with ideas!
Enjoy your day!
A couple of dipy’s from the trip out west. The first is in Tofino and I think it was the night we got there. I have no idea why my girl was laughing so hard, but she went into hysterics and wouldn’t stop. Probably a coping mechanism for all of the photos taken during her life!
The second is on the ever popular Willow’s Beach in Oak Bay. It was a beautiful morning and the sky was a giant softbox…me likey!
Flying home tomorrow 🙁 Time to start editing like crazy!!
Shona 🙂
