Welcome Family and Friends

Many of you have shared that with the distance between us you miss being a part of our family. This blog is a way for us to reach out and share a bit of our daily life with you. We realize that it is not the same as face-to-face relationships, but we hope it will bridge the gap between our visits with you and your families.

Playdates


"What!!!  girls don't wear blue?  Well I do and look gorgeous!"

Friday was filled with playdates of sorts.  In the morning we ventured out into the rain/snow to a friend's house six blocks away to play with a boy about Elias' age and his older sister.  It took a little bit of nudging but he played and had a morning snack with his new playmates. Later that evening we were invited over for some pizza at another house. Elias took no time at all in warming up to the fire engine bed and toys... well and of course playing with an agreeable playmate who seemed pleased enough to bang on ottomans and look into a pellet stove with excitement.  Hugs were exchanged freely and hopefully new friends were made.  

The shoes and legwarmers were made by me but the knit cartigan was knit by my Aunt Annie and the bear Elias is sleeping with was made by Jonathan's Grandma and Mum. Thank you all who share your love with our family. We truly do appreciate you and all that you do for our family.

  1. did you cut Gwendolyn's hair? It looks so much shorter! It's amazing how much she has grown since the last time I saw her. Can't wait to see your kiddos...hopefully won't be much longer...probably in May. Hope all is well there!
