Today we had lunch out. We went to one of our families favourite places to have a healthy lunch. One we’ve always thought of as Nut Safe. Well today it didn’t seem so nut safe. After we left the restaurant and were shopping for groceries we noticed a butch of hives forming on our little …

Today Jacob wanted to put together his big floor puzzles so we set up in the living room and started putting it together.  As you can see Violet was feeling well enough to join us. I tried to get a picture of both of them but today Jacob wouldn’t co-operate, so we’ll setting for just …

Today we found ourselves in Urgent care once again. It was Violet’s turn today. My little girl has had a serious case of the poops for the last couple of days. By the time I got home Melissa was getting worried that she might be getting dehydrated so I dropped the two of them off …

Today after dinner I took the kids to the park. Our picture to-day is of Jacob pushing Violet on the swing. I think it’s one of her favourite things to do at the big park near our house. Of course she also took the time at the park to show me just how much of …

Friday is swimming day, an activity both kids are really enjoying. The way the classes works out both start at the same time, but Violet’s is only 15 minutes and Jacob’s is 30 minutes, so Mommy and Violet are usually waiting in the hall for me and Jacob. It seems our little violet has taken …
