Photo Monday – Water and Ice

It’s getting to be routine. Every year, when we go home for Christmas, I head down the stream to see what it looks like. This year, I went on Christmas day. It was sunny and I was not going to

Photo Monday – Warm and Sunny

It finally got sunny and warm Friday and Saturday. (I’ll skip over the part where it got windy, grey, and cold again on Sunday.) We’ve been starved for warm sunlight these past months so we went to Prospect Park. Seems

Photo Monday – Icy

Each time I visit my parents, I bring my camera. I’ll go to different spots depending on my mood. This time, it was cold. -20 degrees Celsius cold. (That’s roughly -5 Fahrenheit.) I wasn’t going to go far and I

Photo Monday – During Skating Class

Saturday morning, I didn’t know that M had planned a huge birthday surprise for me. I was just sad because he wasn’t there. Since I was alone with the girls, I figured I should use their skating class to go

Photo Monday – The Old Backyard

Or what I really wanted to name this post: *&%$@*# mosquitoes! So, umm, yeah. M ran the half marathon in Ottawa on May 28. My sister and father ran it too and I herded the kids as best I could

Photo Monday – Brooklyn Botanical Garden Again

We went back.  We should just become members… No change on the cherry tree front but it was beautifully sunny and warm. The birds were chirping so loudly but I couldn’t find them. Except for this guy. (I know the

Photo Monday – Same Place, Different Lens

We had E’s birthday party at the skating rink this weekend. Yes, a month and half after her actual birthday.  It works for us and her. The girls had their skating lessons and the party was right after. (It went
