The leaves, they are a-changin

It might still be 30+ degrees during the day, but the nights are starting to cool down, and the leaves are already changing colours. With this comes a great deal of raking, and the non-stop fun that is leaf piles! A. had so much fun helping clean up and running through the yellow, brown, and red leaves.

Happy Victoria Day weekend!

I love long weekends! It was gorgeous, and we got to spend more time with Isaac. Addison wasn't feeling great on Sunday so we didn't do as much as we had planned, but we were still pretty busy. It was 25-32 (77-90) all weekend, so we wanted to enjoy as much time as possible outside. Addison got to run around the lot and go to the pirate ship park. She also went to the zoo for the first time. I'd never been to this particular zoo before, but I loved it. It's free, and relatively close (90 min). It had way more than I had expected, including a train ride for kids, splash pad, and gardens, on top of the 50 acres for animals. We will definitely be going back. Addison had a blast! Pictures to follow when the internet is back up

A quick update

Historical Data! Norm: -4 to +5 (25 to 41)

• It was bright and sunny all day. 24 (75) degrees in March! Record-breaking!
• Addison LOVES being outside. Can you blame her?
• She's still not eating well or sleeping great, but she looks much better and is slowly feeling like her normal self again
• We went shoe shopping on the weekend and Addison scored three new pairs of shoes for $26. Pictures to come once her feet heal and she can break them in. Runners, sandals (similar to last year), and Mary Janes. I also picked up black flats for myself for only $10.
• Addison goes outside after lunch and will scream bloody murder when you finally have to bring her inside for dinner at 5:30. She wants to stay out there and collect sticks.
• Xplornet sucks.
• Addison loves it outside.
• Isaac is working nights.
• Soccer registration is this week. I'll find out in early April which age group I'll be coaching: U7, U9, or U11. Cross your fingers that the fields dry up in time.
• The Easter bunny will be here soon!
• Hannah is almost one!
• Have I mentioned how much Addison loves being outside in this great weather? She'll do laps around the house, inspecting the trees and gardens. She has to touch everything.
• I'm almost 25! I'm excited to get up to Ottawa for a visit with some old friends.
• Morgan is almost two!

Where have the past two years gone?

Something to look forward to

Next week!

Glorious weather

For my American friends, that's 68, 70, 68, 70, 63, and 57

Baby it's cold outside

At least it's sunny today. It was overcast and even colder yesterday.
