Off to Kinder

We blinked!

Our little Pokémon loving lady is off to kindergarten in the fall and we cannot believe it! She had a blast during her first ever school year and it was great having the girls at the same school. Although the year started masked and unpredictable, Jessie adapted and showed tremendous growth. We are so proud of our little J and cannot wait to see what the next school year brings.

Valentine’s Day

It was Madi’s first Valentine’s Day!
& the first time she had been around balloons. It took a while for her to warm up to them. We also decorated Valentine’s Day cookies with the big girls and they turned out sooo cute. The girls had a blast and they were delicious.

Life These Days

How sweet life is these days. We have seriously lucked out in that Madi is the most perfect third baby. Craig and I often find ourselves asking the other what we did to deserve these three beautiful, happy & healthy children. Life is certainly busy and we are learning to go along with the ebbs and flows.
Brynlee is in full time school and after a little hiccup, she is really enjoying grade 1. She has some new little girlfriends and is beginning to learn to read. Jessie is still our sweet wild child who loves hard and gives the most adorable hugs. She is adapting to school life but is honestly such a home body that she comes home utterly exhausted. & our little Mads. She is honestly just here for the ride. Being hauled to all the girls’ activities and school drop offs. She just smiles from her bucket and is loved beyond measure by all people who meet her.

Halloween 2021

This year Brynlee decided she wanted to be Hermione from Harry Potter for Halloween. So in true Jess fashion, Jessie chose to be Hermione’s cat, Crookshanks. Madi dressed up in the same ladybug costume that both girls wore for their first Halloweens. It was a little tight.

Craig and I talked after the girls went to bed & he said that this was the first time that he genuinely missed our old house. I had a lot of feelings about leaving Normandeau since it was the first house I moved out into. It was the place that we brought all three of our babies home to and there are just so many meaningful memories there.
Anyways we got maybe 40-50 trick or treaters when we’re used to having 200-300. Craig took the girls to our old street after ours died down and he said that Normandeau was still suuper busy. I guess you can’t have it all.

Little J & Pre K

This little lady finally got her school debut. Her first day went a little like this.

She whispered in Craig’s ear as he was doing up her car seat to go that she was excited for her first day. All while telling us this past week that she didn’t want to.

She quietly sat colouring in her classroom and said ‘that’s alright’ when we told her it was time for us to leave.

At home time she bounded out the front doors with a huge smile on her face and hugged us so tight. ‘I made two new friends today!’ she exclaimed.

It was a good day.
