How cool are these pyjamas? The Rolling Stones and it has Tour 1978 on it which was the year I was born!
Out for a hike in the Larose Forest
Look who is starting to hold himself up!
He’s even getting big enough to sit in his rocking chair!
Clearly someone wants to go outside
Happy Birthday Maman!
On Vero’s birthday he took four or five steps but once the video camera came on he didn’t want to have anything to do with walking!
Standing with the help of his sister
Touching some leaves
Wow, you step outside for two seconds and the baby manages to lock the parents out and your daughter is too busy watching TV to notice!
Enjoying a swing at the park. I’m not sure if this was the time they lost the map but I remember walking through the park and Sierra was yelling at me about something on the ground and I kept telling her not to pick stuff up. She had a meltdown because I didn’t realize she was pointing out that they had forgot the map in the park the day before and didn’t notice it gone! What are the odds she stumbled upon it?
Sierra teaching Ezra how to climb up to go to the slide
He’s finally useful at something…mowing the lawn!
Dogpile in the box!
If the ability to eat my yourself is measured by the amount of yogurt on your face, I would say he’s excelling at this skill!
Searching for leaves
You can tell it’s starting to get a little colder out in the mornings
Silly faces
Sierra rolling Ezra down the hill
He’s getting there!
Hanging out in the wooden house…or is it the brick house? We play the three little pigs and one of us is the big bad wolf
Showing their pride
Tandreane with a chipmunk
8am and Andreane is already up with the kids! I had a good laugh one day when she went for a nap one afternoon and told me “I knew that being a parent was tough but I never knew HOW tough until today! I’m exhausted just doing little things!”
Ezra likes sweeping things
Hahaha!
Playing games at the table
I have been going through old video cassettes to see if there is anything amazing on them. Sure enough, I came across one that was labelled “Nintendo accomplishments”. Did I have the foresight to record me winning some video games like Ninja Gaiden II? Why yes I did. Was I dumb enough to tape over them? Yes I was. I managed to snag a few seconds here but I was pretty bummed thirty years later to not see that footage.
Coucou!
Ezra really enjoys playing with this house
Nice walk to the cemetery
The karaoke machine is a hit in our house
Man, Facebook has some funny stuff sometimes
Poor coronavirus
Sporting my new hat! Dad gave this to me years ago and I never really got around to wearing it until now. I quite like it even though it’s a bit tight.
If Ezra got any closer he would have ended up being raked away
Slow motion leaves!
Laughing with Maman after the bath
I feel I have failed in my mission to not use devices too much around Ezra. I feel I did a great job with Sierra but honestly with two kids, whenever I get a moment, I whip out the phone or the iPad to check email or the news. Ezra has grown up seeing that so I feel he’s a lot more interested in touching the iPad. Or perhaps he associates it with his grandparents on Facetime? Who knows. Here is Sierra showing him a game. It was funny to see Sierra get frustrated with Ezra not touching the right spots on the screen…if she only knew that a few years ago I was seeing her do the same thing! Practice makes perfect!
An excellent Roger Waters blu ray to watch. It was really neat to hear the helicopters fly overhead at certain points with my Atmos system.
Sierra and Ezra (and their parents) do an exercise video every morning before school starts. I love how Ezra is really into it!
I love this shot!
Laughs!
Helping out a brother
Rest in peace Eddie!
As much as we can, we have Sierra help out with the parenting duties
Afternoons in the backyard are Maman’s favourite time of day
