At the first sign of spring...

 We headed for Cheam wetlands :)

 Cousins make wonderful friends!
 A scavenger hunt kept them busy...
 Caught this little bird doing the splits :)
 Hmmm...where is a beautiful rock, two kinds of leaves, a treasure...
 pussy willows - my favorite!!
 Hi ho, hi ho, it's off searching we go!
 We ROCK ;)
 stunning young lady, growing up very fast!
 amazing views - never get tired of seeing this reflection
 how deep can we go without filling up our boots?

 oops!  These two were fairly soaked before we went home.  Sam wanted to do a full out cannonball at this point - he figured he wasn't wet enough already!
 emptying out a boot full of water
 an rainbow of colourful boots :)


 the littlest sweetie had a nice nap in the wrap and came out for this picture before leaving :)
 and we needed to do a series here...jumping off a tall rock while i tried out the rapid shooting on the camera :)  Click on the pictures for the larger version!

 

Have a happy spring day! :)

Blessings


4 months already!  Time is flying by :) Life is busier with 3 little ladies, but we're enjoying it.  We've been blessed with health so far, and are thankful for lots of work 
to keep busy with too.

The other day I tucked Lana in for her nap and came back 
to find her playing with a new friend....
 sharing secrets....

and giving kisses ;)

 
but who can resist this cute monkey face?!



 
Our littlest lady is quite a charmer...her hair is growing again and she's full of smiles.  This is a social one - she'll let you know if she's feeling left out! :)

Because of this, she'd rather 'help' with the baking and cooking than play by herself...




 There's no love quite like this  - both of her sisters love her to bits!
 Occasionally we get a peaceful moment ;)

Enjoying some sunshine - we love spring! :)
 
Have a most wonderful day!

Last blast (?) of winter

 The last few days...
Snuggles together

a touch of spring
 a quick relaxing overnight stay in Vancouver (watching snow from our hotel room)
 just the two three of us ;)  These 2 were watching some Olympics...
 a mini snow man with our first snowfall - February, dry snow that wouldn't pack well.
 reflections on snack time ;)

enjoying the dirty window with this picture :D

 tube ride in the snow
 and a snow family - a bit of rain on a big March dump of snow made this snow perfect for this!
 a close up...a Mommy, a Chelsie and an upside-down Brynlie
The flip flops were thought of because she wanted to wear them yesterday.  With 1.5 feet of snow on the ground.  The conversation went something like this:
-Daddy, can I wear my flipflops today?
-That's a GREAT idea Brynlie.  {Hear the sarcasm}.  Maybe you should go and get your swimsuit on too!
-Mommy, guess what?  Daddy said I can wear my flipflops and put my swimsuit on too!
:D:D:D
 A photo opportunity...we situated this family just outside the back door for entertainment purposes.

 I got a VERY big laugh today when I saw this :D LOL.

While we enjoyed every minute of our snow day today,

 we're looking forward to spring...maybe next week?! :)

Have a wonderful day.
