Randomness

Where did the 2.5 months go since my last pathetic attempt at blogging? I certainly can't tell you. There's been lots of work, lots of swimming lessons, skating lessons, and hip hop lessons. I have to confess to some time spent here. Definately not enough time behind the camera.

My family has challenged me to blog a minimum of twice a week...."something, something, not capturing family memories, you're letting the team down...something"....

So, once again, I'll try to regularly get the camera out, I can barely remember how to use it! Today was a good day to get it out...the weather was ridiculous. Mom was off in Victoria and I called her to come home because it was snowing...always the weather optimist, she said "don't worry, it will clear up". I snarled something at her and hung up mumbling about "irresponsibility"and "dead in the ditch".

We carried on to have breakfast (at Ricki's All Day Grill, no less). After breakfast we headed home to find, a kilometer down the road, sun and no snow. Which clinched the walk at Piper's. You all know about Piper's Lagoon. Garry oaks, arbutus, kingfishers, ferries, all that west coasty stuff. You've seen it before, you'll see it again. Notice the blue sky. I hate it when my mom's right. I hate it when I'm wrong even more!

Have I mentioned my kids are thriving? They are. I went to hug Aidan the other day and suddenly I couldn't rest my chin on the top of his head.

They are both a treat. How did someone who spends as much time grumpy and depressed as I do, make such sunny, joyful urchins?

And spring is just around the corner. I took these today outside my house when we got home. Not in the garden, but in the planter outside my door.

About 4 days til you get pictures of the crocuses.

See you in a day or so. I promise! Really. I do.
