First Haircut!

April 7th, 2008

I decided that it was finally time to give Khéna his first haircut…

though I don’t mind… he was being called a little girl by everyone that saw him… but mostly… it was getting into his eyes…

It was hard to decided though because it would mean losing his curls… I love baby curls…

Before…

long hair...

After….

new haircut! (first haircut)

all smiles with a new haircut...

In that last pic you can also see a bit of his teeth… Surprisingly he has all of his teeth now…

16 of them!!

So teething is pretty much all over until the 2 year molars come in!

oh… and here is what is left of the snow in our front yard…  at least it is starting to melt more quickly now…

front yard... um... isn't it spring?

December 17th, 2007

It’s the calm after the storm and a great day to see just how much snow has fallen…

I went out and played with the boys all morning… we went for a walk and they climbed and slid in the front yard and jumped from the hill on our front lawn..

I also moved the car so that the snow removal truck can come and do the rest of our driveway so that we could get the garbage bins out later…

Some more pics…

hello down there!

So… it snowed today…

I am so happy that I did my groceries yesterday because litterally we are pretty much snowed in and the roads are said to be very dangerous today…

So… We got about 2 1/2 feet…

it is a bit crazy… Simon is out shovelling as I write… and of course he had left the shovel next to the shed… and the other is buried in the front yard…

I tried to get some pics of how high the snow is but it is a bit hard because of the reflection and we can’t open the back door…

and here is the front yard…

and this is a knot in the tree in our backyard that when it gets hit by a certain light it looks like there is a little gnome hanging out on the branch…

We got a little snow on tuesday and the boys were so excited… it stayed but wasn’t much to play with…

Today however, we got a real snowfall… and it isn’t done yet…

The boys had a lot of fun playing in the snow for about 2 hours!

It is amazing how fast kids catch on… in just a day he has gotten so much better!

First steps!

Khéna has been pushing objects around for a while now but today he gained the confidence to make those first steps…

I love these moments…

Hallow’een and haircut…

November 2nd, 2007

Hallow’een was great this year…

Simon took the day off and we did stuff around the house and got the kids ready slowly… around lunch time I asked Colin if he would like me to cut his hair… he said yes so I ran with it… and I am pretty happy at the way that it turned out…

After lunch we got ready and left here at about 3:30 and headed to my friend’s house in Montreal… Traffic was crazy and we got to her house at about 5:30 instead of the planned 4:30… it started getting dark soon after the boys were antsy to get out and ToT… So we got them ready and put Khéna on Simon’s back and they headed out the door….

So the boys all went out and I stayed with Gen and a friend of hers and we answered the doorbell and ate a great supper that Gen made (black bean soup, stuffed squash and apple-plum crisp) and just talked… the boys came back with their load, ate a bit and then Xavier wanted to go out again with Eric (Gen’s boyfriend) So hey went out and then came back about 20 min later and then we headed home…

I had brought Gen her skirt which she tried on and fit great! and she gave me the things that I ordered from the co-op and scholastic… so we came back with a few boxes.. I love the books that we got!!
