Christmas Series

It has been a busy but wonderful Christmas season. We've had so much fun with so much family! Thank you everyone who travelled to Vancouver to celebrate with us! I have some photos to share so check back often over the next few days as I get them uploaded in this "Christmas Series."

I hope you all had a wonderfully blessed Christmas.

The Sun Rises With the New Year

Happy New Year Everyone!

Trading in My Car For a Preschool Education

Do you think that the government will accept a student loan application for a 3 year old? Maybe they give out bursaries for pre-elementary education.
I've been looking into preschools for next year and seriously... what's with the exorbitant preschool costs these days?! For this kind of money my kid had better come home knowing how to calculate derivatives.

Happy wool

Yes sir

Big and full."

Creating Order from Chaos

Our library has a very cool play area in the children's section that Esmé wanted to hang out in while I chose a few books to check out. I wasn't really paying much attention to what she was doing and had my back turned while I was looking at the books. When I finally looked over, I realized that my child just might have some sort of toddler OCD. The chairs, which were previously scattered around the area, were now organized into a line and each stuffed animal was being assigned a chair to sit in. In this picture, she is now trying to drag the Fraggle Rock doll, which is bigger than she is, into the last chair. Poor girl was busy the whole time trying to organize the play area!

Halloween #2

Discovering pumpkin goo

Esmé kept trying to blow out the candles like it was a cake.

Happy Birthday Esmé

Our dear little girl is 2! We had a wonderful day doing all the things Esmé loves best. Watching the fish at the aquarium, visiting with Grandma and Auntie, opening presents, and blowing out candles. Even now, a couple weeks after her birthday, whenever we ask her, "Esmé, how old are you?" She still replies, "Esmé happy birthday! Esmé be 2!"
