Wordless Wednesday – Snow Fun

Stacey — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 22:29:02 +0000

It’s no secret that I’m not a big fan of winter, but Ashlyn’s enthusiasm for playing in the snow gets even me in snowpants to play outside every now and again!

Wordless Wednesday – a look back at 2011

So much happened in 2011! We started the year off with a bang by going to see Disney Live! Mickey’s Rockin’ Road Show.

February took us to Winterlude here in Ottawa, where we had a great time out in the cold

and I had some lovely maternity pictures taken by Elizabeth Fulton Photography (you’ll see much, much more of her work further down in this post).

We welcomed Rowan (aka Sprout) in March and it was love in first sight for all of us!

We had a quiet spring while we got used to being a family of 4 and Ashlyn turned 2 in May.

We took a trip to visit family in New Brunswick in June and made sure to visit plenty of parks

and spent most of our summer in various splash pads around our home.

We had family pictures taken in October by Elizabeth Fulton Photography

and before I knew it, it was Halloween!

Rowan took her first flight when we took a trip to Alberta to visit some great friends (and do a little scrapbooking) in November.

There was lots of decorating and baking and crafts and play dates surrounding Christmas

and through it all my girls keep growing and loving each other.

I can’t wait to see what 2012 brings!

Wordless Wednesday – Gingy

I came home from a weekend away to find this little guy in my garden.

Ashlyn helped Daddy pick him out for me and I love him. Bring on the Christmas decorations!

Wordless Wednesday – Halloween 2011

She loved trick or treating.

She loved all the goodies that she collected.

But most of all, she loved handing out candy to the other kids! When there wasn’t anyone at our door, she was peering out of the windows and calling out “come to our door, we have lots of candy!”…and knocking on the door herself, hoping that if we opened it, there would be more kids on the other side.

With Halloween being a huge hit, I’m even more excited for Christmas this year!

BFFs take 2

Our kitty Echo has been BFF’s with Ashlyn for a while now, but it looks like Rowan is doing her best to make friends too.

Wordless Wednesday – Tea Time

My husband gave me this fabulous tea pot for Christmas almost 2 years ago and it gets used almost daily from fall through spring. I need my coffee in the morning, but I’m a tea girl the rest of the day!

Wordless Wednesday – Vegas!

Stacey — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 00:00:20 +0000

2 years ago this week, we were in Vegas for my brother in law’s wedding. We lost our DSLR while we were there (no, I still don’t want to talk about it *tear*) but I found these pictures on my husband’s cell the other day. Ashlyn was only 4.5 months old here!

I guess someone is looking forward to the snow – hopefully we don’t have any for a few more months!
