'Tis the Season!

Busy Days!



Christmas Train

Shin makes a friend!

Talla is just busy sleeping!

brrrr...

This has been Talla's daily outerwear as it has been so cold here in Vancouver. She stays toasty warm!

Tummy Time

Fresh Pine Scent

Got the tree up! Looks beautiful don't you agree?

Rough Day

Talla endured her first immunizations yesterday morning. We had a bit of a rough day because of it.

She finally gave in to her discomfort and fell asleep while taking a bath.

Black Friday

We took a little shopping break to smile for the camera.

Sunday Ritual

For the past few weeks we have been walking to the ice rink for a Sunday morning skate after a breakfast of banana pancakes and syrup (I mention syrup because Shin's plate is a pool of it).

Unlike the past two years, Shin has really enjoyed skating this season. Every time he gets his skates on, he is more confident.

The past few days have been spent indoors, resting, getting big brother healthy and sitting back in the rocking chair.

sigh...

Pure baby yumminess

Picture of Happiness

After six days of torture, Shin is finally is well enough to hold his little sister. He was so unbelievably happy. This of course makes me so unbelievably happy.

Get the Fire Started

Good Morning!

We woke up this morning at the cabin to a winter wonderland! Shin had to throw a few snowballs before I got him back inside to rest.

Despite having our immunizations nine days ago, Shin picked up a flu bug along the way. Unfortunately his little body needed a few extra days to build up immunity. We had a rough night with fever and cough and very little sleep. Now the extra hard part will be keeping him away from his sister.

Weekend Away

We packed up the car and braved the border crossing for a weekend in Seattle. Originally we had planned to spend one night but once we got there we quickly decided two was best!

Shin wanted so badly to run through this...



Serving up some sushi at the Children's Museum.

Halloween

Originally Shin wanted to be a spy. Of course all spies have a moustache!

He then changed his mind and wanted to be a Storm Trooper.

Talla had no choice...

Not so impressed

Science World

With Shin in afternoon kindergarten we only have a few hours before or after class to get in some activities.
We got out of the house early and made our way to Science World yesterday morning.
Shin loves it and Talla...she slept.

Shin took this shot - giant cockroaches eating apples.

He loves to volunteer for the science shows.

Fast Forward

I will begin my posts here, seven weeks in, as a family of four.

She's here!

Talla Elise Goodman met the world September 3rd at 8:49am weighing 7lbs 2oz. She is perfect!
