The Best

 You know that friend that is the absolute best and you love them just as much as you love your family? Well I am one lucky son of a gun because I don't just have one I have a couple! These girls have stood by this gypsies side for 20 years now and I couldn't be more grateful.

They came out for a wee little visit and it was just a tease, I wanted to keep them here forever and ever. We drank, we ate, we drank, we walked, we ate, and we ate and it was fab-u-lous. Kate cooked for us the entire time and they both helped out with the kiddies so much that I felt like I was on a little vacay as well!

Winter Daze

I never wanted to have a baby in the winter because I was sure I would go absolutely insane. Serious props to all you new moms out there who live in a cold climate. I just need to be outside as much as possible! I had Willow in July so we were in the full swing of summer. Beach days, all day, every day... soooo gooood! We moved to Manitoba from Nova Scotia when Willow was 3 months and we got outside as much as the weather would allow us. I am so lucky that Sawyer was born on the west coast this winter as it has been an amazingly mild and such a sunny one. I feel that if I was stuck inside all day I would be a wee bit nutty right about now. I can be having a really hard day and I take the kiddies to the beach or out for a walk for the afternoon and my mood is instantly lifted.

We are going to Manitoba to visit family soon and it will be interesting to see how Willow reacts to the cold. She has turned into a real softy and will complain about the tiniest gust of wind. She is in for a real surprise!
