A Lovely Saturday

It is amazing how many trails/parks/conservation areas there are in and around the GTA (Greater Toronto Area). When I was driving home from work on Friday (I took a more scenic drive than usual and while I was driving over a bridge) I thought hmmm, I wonder if there are any trails down below. Sure enough there were. On Saturday, Ken took some time out of his crazy busy school schedule to go for a walk with me.

We parked in a muddy little parking lot and proceeded to walk on a road, up a steep hill. When we got to the top this was the beautiful scene below us.














After enjoying the scenery from the top of the hill we walked back down and followed a very small portion of the actual trail. We're excited to go back when it's a little less icy and snowy.

Isaac Twinkles



I taught Isaac to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star while I was visiting in New Hampshire. He plays it very well, I can't wait for him to start lessons.

The easter egg tradition continues. Last year I posted all of the pictures from each year of egg decorating. I think the boys enjoy the yearly tradition almost as much as I do - and they love it!

March Break 2008

On Friday, March 7 I flew from Toronto to Manchester. THANKFULLY - without incident. I got out of Toronto just before a huge storm moved in and shut the airport down. My flight took off on time and my baggage and I arrived at the same time!

I had an absolutely wonderful and relaxing time with my sister and her family. Suzanne and Matthew moved to Nashua, New Hampshire in the fall and this was my first visit to their home. They have a big backyard and the most amazing swing set ever. I spent lots of time outside with the boys.

I'm happy to be home with my Ken - I always miss him lots when we're apart, however it breaks my heart a little bit every time I come home from my sister's. I wish her children weren't growing up so far away - don't even get me started about my brother's kids!

Here are a few of my favourite photos of the trip.
