Valentine's Day.....Bleh!

I hate this stupid "holiday". No apologies to everyone who love doing cutsie whatever on this day. I love Paul, I don't need a special day set out where I feel pressured to do something special for him (and he shouldn't feel pressured to do anything for me, not that he will). This is just another way for men to get spoiled by their significant others while they conveniently forget to return the favour. Well I say screw it, I'm just not gonna bother this year (although once I get in the grocery store today I'll probably feel guilted into buying at least a card).

A Smashing Success

Here are some pics from Ryan's first birthday party, which was awesome despite the fact that his big sister had not only smashed her face 2 days ago but started throwing up and feeling like crap all day today. Thank you Shayne, Denise, Robert, Abbi and Matthew for coming to join in the fun. Ryan loves his new bowl and sippy cup and has carried around his hammer all evening.
As for Rosie I am taking her into urgent care tomorrow just to make sure there is no fractures in her cheeks or anything. When I mentioned that she broke her nose it really is not as bad as it sounds as her bones aren't as solid as an adults. They're still fairly flexible. However the swelling kind of concerns me so I'll take her in tomorrow. Hopefully it's not too bad.

A Year Gone By

A VERY HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY TO MY LITTLE CHARMER, RYAN!

A Successful Vacation

I was not sure how traveling with 2 little munchkins was going to go but they were both super awesome on our vacation to the Okanagan. Rosie even started learning to skate while we were there. Here is a vid of her at the Oliver arena.



Everyone had loads of fun (thanks to all those who put up with us). We all got Canucks gear while in BC (the Flames suck!). I totally miss the Okanagan and hope very much to be able to move back very soon (but am willing to wait til Meio can get a posting at one of the Kal-Tires out there as a manager...big $). I miss everyone and will try to come out with the kids in the summer (this time for a whole week with Barry and Lisa).
