Keira

A cold winter day

Sometimes when it is really cold and mommy is really tired, I dress the girls up in their winter gear and let them play out on the enclosed balcony.

Sometimes we decide to head outdoors to get some fresh brisk air and play on the playground.

And sometimes we get to meet new friends at a nearby kids play area.

I’ve been carrying Keith out to the playground in the Baby Bjorn when I take the girls out.  It’s easier to help the girls while having him in the carrier. But lately it has been getting to my back and shoulders.  At his last doctors appointment, he weighed in at 8.3 kilos (18 pounds)!

Broken glass is on the ground everywhere,  Thankfully right now, we have snow covering it up.

-21 C (-5 F)

The temperature is dropping lower and lower.

We are just about all set on our winter coats and boots.  With temperatures getting this low lately we really need to layer our clothes and bundle up well, especially with taking the kids outside.  The girls really do enjoy being outside as much as they can, even in the cold.


Two Birthdays

Right after we arrived here it was time to celebrate Keira and Katrina’s birthdays.  Our friends were gracious enough to invite us over for a little party, even making two cakes.  One for each birthday girl.

It was so nice of them to remember their birthdays and it was a great way to make us feel welcome in a new city.
