Too cute

Hazel loves her daddy, even though she and Coco attacked him in a backyard, plastic bubble wand sword fight last night. It was hilarious.

Chile

Full domestication reached... Bruce made a delicious bean chile stew from a recipe he found in Canadian Living magazine. We have leftovers if you'd like to come over for a bowl.

They can dance.

Coco and Hazel dancing to the tunes on the roof. Rock was blaring all day on account of the roofers.

More space, please

Bruce is totally redoing the front entrance so we can have some space to put our ever growing collection of skates, helmets, sun hats, mittens, tennis gear, rain coats, rubber boots... you get the picture. Should be SWEET when completed. Will post more as it happens.

Baptism was fun

We had a ton of fun at our friend's baptism on Sunday afternoon. The priest was funny. We reflected on family and what that means. I am very thankful for my family and their love.

Then, we noshed on sushi and an assortment of canopies while sipping champagne and a lovely sauvignon blanc from New Zealand, back at the family home. I parked and walked the block over there so as not to have to drive under the influence.

New roof, new roof, new roof!

I feel VERY grownup, having a new roof put on the house! Also, getting two sky lights put on the side that faces the street. Should be finished tomorrow.

Music to my ears!

I was upstairs, doing stuff on my computer. The girls were being very quiet downstairs, so I thought I'd better go see what they were up to... I found them snuggled in bed and Coco was reading stories to Hazel. This made me feel very warm inside, on par with a "vegetable plate" request! The story is a Dr. Seus one..
