And the stockings were hung by the tv with care...

As wide as it is tall!

We are as ready as we are going to be for Christmas!

A chilly day to get a tree!

10 Years!

It is hard to believe but it has been 10 years since we walked across the stage to get our degrees. Fortunately, we have yet to grow up!

The boys!

The boys are growing up fast! Logan is usually good with his little bro and Made just wants to be big. Love them to bits!

Light the Night!

Team Twinkle Toos came out in full force last night for the Light the Night walk supporting Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada. With your amazing support we raised $6300.00! We continue to be blessed and honoured by all of your amazing support. We love you! Way to go Team Twinkle Toos!

We have a walker!

It has been exactly a month since my last post. As I am sure most of you know, it has probably been one of the hardest, craziest months of my life. My mother lost her battle with cancer. She was an amazing woman and she was a very special person to hundreds of people. It was a pleasure to hear so many stories, memories, and tributes of her during this tough time. We miss her dearly.

Life continues to move on and with two little ones there is no stopping. Kaden turned one the day after her funeral and I officially returned to work that day, after a year long maternity leave. This past week was my first week in the office, and the boys were both in daycare full-time. Kaden is already learning new tricks at daycare and has started walking this week.

Wedding fun!

This past weekend I went to my cousins wedding in Winnipeg. Just me. No husband. No kids. Just me. Oh, and my brothers, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, second cousins, etc... I was by no means by myself. Just not with my boys. It was brilliant! I have a photo or two from the weekend and since I have been crap at posting recently I will do my best to get some photos from this past weekend and from the last month up soon!

Hanging with some cousins!

Just the 5 of us!

Super Logan!

Yesterday we returned from a fabulous week in Thunder Bay. It was so great to introduce our littlest man to Nana and Poppa and have a chance to visit with them.

What a difference a year makes!

Logan - May 2012

Kaden - May 2013

Different boy... Same crooked hat!

9 Months!

It is predictable but still I feel a little shocked today to realize I have a 9 month old. That went fast! Here is the little chunker today!
