Three siblings with their three babies

First day of mini soccer

Last Wednesday marked the first day of mini soccer. Ambrose is on the grey team at the Earl Grey Community Centre. Very chaotic but cute and lots of fun. Ambrose had a blast.

IKEA Hack - Billy bookcase before and after

The After Picture

I have long wanted a floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall bookcase in our dining room. Hiring someone to design and create built-ins was cost prohibitive, so we decided to do an IKEA hack and found a great online tutorial. David dove head first into this renovation project and I am proud to say it's finished!

3rd birthday

our boy turned three on march 30. I swear, his development spiked shortly thereafter and is steadily increasing with regard to language, comprehension and physical growth as well.

His birthday fell on Easter so we had lots of family time. Streit family (nana, poppa, Emma et al) along with Luna et al on Saturday, spent Saturday night in Mitchell, woke up and had Easter hunt on Sunday and then dinner with my family later that day. Ambrose had a blast.

I will admit his birthday started on a low note when he was disappointed to not see evidence of birthday wrap (we bought him a bike I failed to wrap it), helium balloons (his birthday was day after Good Friday so there was a delay in getting them) and banners (mama and dada were lazy and/or forgot). However, you will from this picture and the gallery (link below) that his energy and excitement once we got our act together and got the party started....

We bought him a balance bike - what all the cool pre schoolers are riding instead of a tricycle or bike with training wheels. Check out Strider

The cousins can't wait to meet Arlo!

The cousins had a great weekend together. There was a fire in the snow fort and hockey in the afternoon. Emma is wearing her mask that we picked up in New Orleans. Ambrose is wearing a mask and cape from Aunty T. Can't wait for a picture with all three monkeys.

I imagine Arlo in a classic mexican wrestling mask.
