twelve years

today jude and i celebrate 12 years of marriage.
i am so thankful for our journey so far, 
and excited to continue on this path together for years to come.

we were able to get away for a few days 
(just the two of us) 
earlier this week.
it was so nice and relaxing...

tonight we had a picnic with the girls at rockway gardens,
a place we love to visit on our anniversary.
it was a great night!
these photos are courtesy of $20 well spent...
i picked up a wireless shutter remote this week.
loving it!

this spring...

much has happened over the past month or so around here...

the biggest news is, we bought a house and sold our current home!
it happened so fast and we're very thankful for a quick, smooth process.
we'll be moving in august - up the street and closer to our school.
the girls are thrilled as they will now have their own rooms,
and we'll be even closer to some of their good friends.
we will miss our neighbours here and our big backyard,
but we're excited to move to a similar vintage of home 
with all the renos pretty much done.


happy father's day!!

here is a little video i put together for jude this weekend.
he is away for a few days for a combination of work and play.
he'll be showered with art, cards and gifts upon his return,
but he missed out on breakfast in bed this year!




emery has just completed her dance season.
she was invited to compete with the dance 
studio run at our community centre.
we love the families and leadership there.  
it has been such a positive experience for her 
(and me in my new role as dance mom).
she loves performing and has no fear being on stage, 
and i've learned to do curls, buns and stage makeup...
this image is from her rec. recital this past weekend:
 a 'serious' dance to music from james bond...


selah has given t-ball a try this year and seems to really enjoy it.
she finishes up the season this week and excited to get her first trophy
(she remembers that emery got one when she played)!
tiny but powerful...
selah also got her ears pierced earlier this spring:
don't worry - she was smiling again shortly after this moment.
her ears are healing perfectly and she's excited 
to try some new earrings on when the time comes...


jude and i are looking forward to a few days away 
this week to celebrate our 12th anniversary.
we've been spoiled the past two years with big trips (mexico and greece),
this year we're heading to muskoka.

beyond that, we're excited for summer!

so there's a little update on us,
how are you doing?
