More from today...

Figured I better throw some in of Bella too ;)

Toronto fan!

Here are some pictures of Ian from earlier today. His Papa Carp bought him this jersey and it finally is fitting him so I thought I would get some pictures of him in it.

Time to play catch up!

Thought that I would just post some random pictures to share to catch us up til now! Everyone one is doing well. The kids have a yucky cold right now but other then that things are great.
The other news here is after a very difficult and hard decision we have decided to enroll Gabriella into school. Her first day was on the 8th and she is just loving it! She has already made a couple of friends, one of which she calls her "best" friend. Seeing how much she is enjoying it and how easy the transition was for her has only made our decision easier and we know that it is the right one for now. Well that is all for now but we will try to update more frequently ;)

Our little chef!

Wow it has been a while since I updated!
Yesterday I was making some soup for the kids for lunch and Ian decided that he was going to help...and he did a pretty good job :)

Christmas photo shoot...

So we decided to put our new camera to use! I took some pictures of the kids all dressed up in their Christmas outfits. It was definitely an interesting morning taking the pictures...Ian hates getting his picture taken when he has to do something other then playing and running around so I got lots of him squirming away or crying or both. Bella was the typical model, willing to do anything I said, with only a couple of distractions. Overall I got a couple of pictures I liked! Here is a preview of some of them for you....

Holiday funnies!

I thought that I would keep a list of some of the funny/silly things that come out of Bella's mouth. So here are a couple to start with...

We were out doing some errands one night and Bella had asked to listen to some Christmas music. So we put some on and the song "Noel" was playing and we heard her in the backseat singing to it but she had the words wrong...she was singing "Nowhere, Nowhere" and when we tried to correct her, she insisted that the song was called "Nowhere".

One morning I was getting ready for the day putting on some makeup and Bella was sitting on my bed just relaxing. Here is how our conversation went...

Bella: So mom, what did you and daddy get me for Christmas?
Me: Pardon me?!
Bella: I said what did you and daddy get me for Christmas?
Me: Hmmm...I don't know
Bella: Well I think you got me and Ian some little people stuff
Me: Why do you think that?
Bella: Because I saw a box in the cart the other day when we went shopping
Me: I don't know what you are talking about
Bella: You know the box in the cart at Target...it was little people and it had some stuff with it...you know what I am talking about.
Me: I have know idea what you are talking about (trying not to laugh...because I know what she is talking about)
Bella: Hmmphhhh...never mind then....I will just show you what I am talking about on Christmas morning!

What a kid! I was trying so hard not to laugh after her last comment. I guess we won't be buying Christmas gifts anymore when she is with us ;)

Newest Obsession

Ian is obsessed with water...more so the water in the bathroom! We have to lock the bathroom door all the time now or he will get in there and play with the toilet or climb on the stool and play with the taps on the sink and play in the water all day. He LOVES it! I caught him in action the other night...

I also did a little editing to the picture because his other obsession is being naked ;) He is such a funny little man and definitely knows how to keep his mommy, daddy and big sister busy!
