I’ve been wrong before but today we are expecting much rain and 5-10cm of snow then more rain and then colder temperatures, followed by a spike about 10 days from now then more of seasonal Toronto winter weather!
I just got her maintenance’d this week and she’s ready for the long few months until [...]
I am becoming a Stampin’ Up Demonstrator. About a year ago Ellie (Dean’s mom) and I started to dawdle in this hobby and sadly, we’ve become quite addicted. Amidst the craziness of home, work and family life – including raising a very active and inquisitive 3+ year old, this hobby has really [...]
Tonight we all attended the Christmas Party hosted by the Families in Adoption group we’ve been attending since she was born. Elina, in true form, heard it was a party and put on her pink tutu ballerina dress – since it was a party after all and of course made a grand entrance! We made [...]
Been listening to Oslo 1 Radio online these days and have come across a few songs that are sure to be a hit here: (my guess:
Marit Larsen – Under The Surface – Traces of Her
Marit Larsen – Under The Surface – Only A Fool
Scissor Sisters – I Don’t Feel Like Dancing
All taken from You Tube [...]
This is our usual comment when we see someone who hasn’t seen Elina for a while. Elina’s quite tall for her age and looks like a 4+ year old than a 3 year and 4 month old girl! I doubt she’s into hearing what people say about her and wonder when comments like this would/could [...]
Today, we all went down to Rogers Centre (aka Skydome) and partook in the 13th Annual Canadian Aboriginal Festival (aka Skydome Powwow). We took a walk through all the booths of crafts and information and found most everyone I wanted to find in their usual spots and even a few I thought I’d never [...]
We found a Sesame Street website a few weeks ago and Elina’s been playing with a few games online with us. She’s got her favorite – mostly Elmo, and when we go online, she asks us to do about the same thing each time. The game she likes is Elmo’s Peek-a-boo and she controls using [...]
A must for cat lover or crazy cat ladies, its a long one but worth it if you like cats. If you don’t like cats, then …. Go read about Elina’s fascination with walking on her toes!
I’m having a Stamping Up Party – for local crafty people, let me know if your interested in attending by sending me an email: d_anker@rogers.com. A few of my local women friends are attending, should be a great night – tomorrow at 7:00.
P.S. Since Elina and I sat through the Santa Clause parade, we’re [...]
I wonder how Elina keeps up with all that she wants to do every weekend. Here’s how a typical weekend goes:
Saturday AM – Sportball (or some other sort of organized play/sport activity)
Coffeeshop Coffee & Newspaper
Play in the Park
Window Shop
Errands – Canadian Tire / Home Depot / Ikea (or what have you)
If its raining – a [...]
