a walk in the park




so yesterday i decided that it was a nice enough day to go for a walk. it was cold and it was windy, but i wanted to swing! Do you know how hard it is to find swings in this neighbourhood? we went to three different parks and found some interesting things to play on. There was hopscotch and slides and monkey bars and the slidey thing in the picture and bouncy things to stand on. But no swings. So my mission for today...to find swings. There are swings at McGill park, but we will only be going there on the way to mom and dad's and I feel as though I will not be in a park playing outfit by that time. maybe kirkbridge after church tonight!! Anyone else know of any swings??

Easter Long Weekend

Happy Easter to all! Today is Good Friday...essentially means that all we do is sit around cause there is absolutely nothing open! Got up and went to Church this morning. There was a lack of attendence by 2 members of the family...you know who you are ;). It was a quick service and I spent most of the time making faces at baby Madalyn. I didn't get to hold her for very long though, she started to fuss as soon as I got a hold of her and then i gave her back to mom who in turn gave her back to Claire. Good thing Madalyn's got a great mom who knows how to calm her down!

I had kind of a rough week as I got my third bout of bad news...I'm glad the third finally hit me cause now for the rest of the year it's only going to be good stuff happening! Anyways, the bad news was about my old boss, Dr. Ahsan, he unfortunately has been struck by cancer and has been told he won't be with us too much longer. It's very sad, he is such a kind hearted man and was always very good to me. It's too bad that he will not get to enjoy retirement as most do.

Tiff and I made a brunch type meal today. it included wifesaver, which i'm sure you're all jealous you didn't get to enjoy with us!! Mom's not doing an Easter breakfast this year, so we were sad there would be no wifesaver and decided to celebrate ourselves. Maybe if you're nice, I'll invite you over another time for some, it is my specialty!

As for the rest of the weekend, we're going to drink lots of coffee and do lots of spring cleaning and sing in church tomorrow night and eat lots of easter dinners. 2 to be exact. I'm a lucky girl to be surround by so many loved ones! you don't think of it everyday, but around holidays I consider myself very lucky to have a great family to spend the time with!!
