Mother’s Day

 

 

Mother's Day looked a bit different this year since Matt had to work a 12 hour shift. The kids and I had lunch with Nanna and dinner with Grandma. Matt got home right at bedtime and gave me my Mother's Day gift, which included a tripod. I quick tried it out and got this shot with the kids. I love it! I will have to try to remember to use it more, so that I can be in the pictures more often.

 

Photography and Ballet

This week I took a great photography class meant for moms who want to take great pictures of their kids.  I learned A LOT and now I need to practice before it all leaves my  brain.

Mya is the only willing participant here. She would have danced and changed outfits all day if I had the time. She has been taking ballet since September and loves it.

 

 

 

Mya is 3!

Almost a month ago, Mya turned 3! Long before her party, she had requested to have her friends for a ballerina tea party. She never wavered from this idea. It turned out to be an awesome party, so laid back compared to some all the boys’ parties.

It’s hard to believe that our youngest is 3 but at the same time I am sooooo loving this stage of our family. It is a lot easier to have quality time together without, diaper changes, naps, nursing, whining (that still happens sometimes). Add to that, the kids increased abilities to do outdoor stuff (our favourite) and it’s pretty great!

I took tonnes of pictures of Mya (without her Elmo chair). I said I would take a couple with the chair to help encourage her to let me take the other ones. Of course, the one in the chair turned out the best.

 

 

With her brothers, whom she loves more than anything and now refers to as “her boys”.
