First Day!

Daniel's first day of school.

Posting the pictures

 I made a New Year's resolution: To take more pictures. 
I should have added that filing and posting and developing helps too. :)  But I will catch up with the few I took in the fall, and then add in some from January. :)
Things are calming down with our renos, I no longer sleep with a paintbrush in hand so I hope to keep up a little better.

You will see some new faces!  After we sent Brody, Hailey and Daniel off to JK, we welcomed some new friends--Celeste and Naomi.
In January we had another new friend start, Olivia S. And Sophie started coming on the bus after school with Amelia.

AND Mr Tate is now a big brother to little Tyson, and he will be leaving us to spend some family time with his mom and new baby brother.  It will be very quiet around the house with out our little fireball!

That's the quick recap--
We will have some new friends joining us mid-march, so look forward to that!

Bye Friends!

Playing in the backyard last week--which were our last days with Hailey and Brody.  We will miss you so much!  You have grown up into such big kids who made me smile every day!  Good luck in J.K. --you will be great!  You are so clever and you will learn new things every day!  Don't be strangers, come by to visit me whenever you can.

I was reading it for Daniel, but I bet there are a couple others who would find this useful too. ;)

DANCE! DANCE!

RUN! RUN! :)

Moving Day

Moving Day!

We are relocating this summer--out of the Jack Chambers district and into the Hillcrest school district.

We are counting the sleeps until we get the keys to our first house!

Monday July 30 will be the first day at the new house.

All parents handy with a paint roller will be recruited (HAHA!)

Playing Dress-Up

Birthday Party

Happy Birthday Hailey

Now you are FOUR!

We all made some birthday cupcake crafts for the celebration.

(And of course, enjoyed a yummy treat too!)
