To the ocean & back


First things first - Kai's soccer game. Her smiles say it all. She was so excited to play & even though it was windy & freezing for all of us on the sidelines - she had a blast. This week they will actually get their uniforms & team names, not that it will make one load of difference for her. She was just happy they played "Bulldog".

Discovering our neighbour Marcus was playing too

Discussing strategy, obviously

On Friday we headed out to the island to do a little house hunting. Even though the home search was a bust, we still got to enjoy 4 days in a beautiful place that we will soon call our home. We spent a lot of time at the beach, visited my aunt Elaine & cousins Andrea & Heather at Andrea's fantastic farm in Courtenay, and we were able to take Nanie out for lunch on her birthday. It was such a wonderful thing to have her meet her newest great-grandchild! It was pretty emotional for both Nanie & I, and I am so grateful for our afternoon together.

Lunch with Nanie for her 95th birthday!

Nanie & Mara play the banging game - much to Mara's delight

A serious treat for the cabin - Fruit Loops!

Drew & Gilbert build it up to watch it crash

The best big brother in the world

The nuttiest big sister in the world
