In memory of Great Granma Paluck

Granma passed away this morning. She fought hard after her fall a week ago but NaNa said she was ready to go. Your great Grandpa Paluck passed already so they will be reunited in heaven - what a reunion that must have been!

Here are some great pictures that we took when we visited her in Moose Jaw the summer of 2011. She was so tickled to meet you, Olivia and Jordyn :) Leah, you were a twinkle in our eye still so you didn't get to meet her but she did have pictures of you so she could see you every day.

Great Granma Paluck, you will be missed greatly but your memory will be cherished forever. We will have your picture framed and displayed so the kids will always remember you. You must be having such a great in heaven. We will see you again. Until then...

Leah

I took this pic of Leah last week because I thought she looked so darn cute in her sweatshirt. Do you recognize it NaNa? It's 12 months in size and it has fit her for a couple of months already. She can hold her own at 10 months :) She is 21 lbs already -- apparently, she's 78% for weight and 96% for height. That's my girl!

And she is definitely beginning to babble. I am almost positive that she is saying "mum mum"! It might be wishful thinking but I'd like to think she is actually calling me. YAHOO! Olivia's first word was "dada", Jordyn's first word was "YaYa" ("olivia").

Until next time....

Valentine's Day

I know this is a bit late buuuut as they say, "Better late than never."

Corey and I only started to 'celebrate' Valentine's Day a few years ago. I personally think it's a cash grab for our poor husband's. However, we celebrate it for the girls. This year, I made heart shaped pancakes and set a special place setting for them that had a necklace, stickers and some chocolate kisses. Corey buys the girls roses every year.

They came down the stairs with huge smiles on their faces! In Olivia's lunch I packed a heart-shaped sandwich, and strawberries (plus her regular lunch items). The littlest thing, like a heart-shaped sandwich, makes her heart swell. So adorable. For dessert after supper, I brought out chocolate dipped strawberries to many oooh's and aaah's. Doesn't take much to impress my little cuties - thankfully!

Girls - we hope you enjoyed this year's Valentine's Day. We look forward to celebrating many more with you.

Winter Wonderland

The last few weeks have seen LOTS of snow fall here in Ottawa. Just this past week, we saw 20cms fall. Of course, the kids LOVE it :)

On Corey's birthday, we went to Winterlude on what seemed to be the most beautiful day of the winter. Olivia and Jordyn had a blast going down the ice slides while Leah chilled out in the sled. Hopefully next yeare Leah will be able to enjoy the ice slides too. Here's a pic of us at Winterlude - we managed to squeeze everyone in :)

 

We visited with Oma and Opa too. Jordyn thought she'd get a little funky.

And the girls had a blast wrestling and playing around with Opa.

Today we are having friends over for supper and then we're going to 2 birthday parties - adults only! WHOO HOO - date night for Corey and I!

Until next time...
