Sweet New Year to ALL !!!

Eliana enjoying a cone from the cow store, yes, we all know the cow store in Whistler..yummy

She didn't like the elevator music...not many of us do...

Dip in hot tub time...

It ended up being nicer then we thought in Whistler for the New Year. We managed to get pool time everyday...what luck... Overall relaxing trip with nice weather we could enjoy the village with.

Granville Island Fun...

Well it was a perfect day, not too hot nor cold at Granville Island. We had fun watching ducks and geese and playing in the park. Last bit of fun before summer ends...Hope you all had a good one.

Here daddy comes to the rescue on the very wobbly chain bridge...she held on hard...

They ran up and down a very steep hill off the boardwalk...what fun she had too on the way down

Oh my..the treats were calling our names...we settled for lunch food instead....

I love this pose of hers with her hands behind her back...I think she watches me do that..

Running towards the ducks and geese...in the background is her stroller and the doll she put there to watch her

New Beginnings...

Well summer is almost over and we have had quite a full house and schedule. Now we begin new with Eliana starting her Preschool year and her sister starting her first year at UBC. Time goes by so fast, again...Kat has been quite busy gathering books, parking passes, school supplies, and mapping her classes these past couple of weeks. Eliana wrapped up her summer sessions for gymnastics ad attended a BBQ hosted by her new school for the Preschool, Kindergarten and new families on Monday. It turned out really spectacular. Great facilities, clean and very very welcoming community feel. Before I knew it she was starting preschool on the 1st of Sept then today she was "alone" for the full session and she did great. Of course I didn't sleep the day before but she seems to be adjusting very very well. I can say the teachers are extraordinary.

BBQ at new school...rock in shoe...

First day at Preschool and welcome from the school principal
Play doh - her favourite - although she is making a funny face

After school, hanging in the backyard swing...I remember doing this a long time ago
