Christmas Photo Shoot

Grace modelled one of her three Christmas outfits in a photo shoot this afternoon - despite her red eyes and runny nose (from her most recent cold). She enjoyed rocking along with the music from the snow globe, playing peek-a-boo with the tissue paper and was very cute as she kept calling the nutcracker "baby."

We will attempt to get the three kids in a holiday photo this weekend. I like to use the front porch so no flash is necessary. Here is a sneak peak for any blog readers we may have out there!

We're still here!

Yes, I am really behind on blogging. I have to write about our trip to Edmonton, about our busy boys (hockey, choir, violin), about all the knitting, sewing and hair accessories I've been making (and housework I have thus been neglecting) and of course, Grace crawling. I am also thinking about a cloth diaper post for a contest : ) I read about. It is for moms who wear their babies, cloth diaper and breastfeed. Sounds like us!

For now, here's something funny I saw when I was flipping the other night. It's time to start getting pumped up for the Olympics! Enjoy!

Grace's New Trick

Grace loves to play peek-a-boo with any blanket, towel or piece of clothing. The other day I was busy typing and realized she had been waiting to play peek-a-boo with me. Too funny!

Luke loves singing!

Luke has really enjoyed his music classes at school this year. Every day he is singing a new song. Unfortunately, I found out that he didn't participate in these lessons until recently but I think he is over that now. He was happy to have me tape a couple of his songs last night.

Halloween

We spent Halloween in Beaconsfield, Quebec. The kids went trick-or-treating in Mema's neighbourhood and collected quite a bit of loot considering the houses are much farther apart than in Toronto!

It looks like all the kids followed the red, black and white dress code (Tom snuck in some yellow). Liam did a magic show at school and apparently it was a great success.
