playtime, in the snow!

Rushed to get some photos of Aiden playing in the snow for the first time. Lucky me, I had to work this Sunday morning and I wasn't able to stay and play with the rest of the gang. Captured a few non-action shot of A, I'm sure Lola was able to get more fun ones. But instantly fell in love with this one, what a guy!

This smile is totally mine, Aiden stole it from me. Whatevs, it does .. seem to ... suit him, better :) With help from Daddy, a little snowman was made in the backyard. Aiden runs to the window every morning for a peak at the snowman ... which is, starting to tilt and with the positive weather, will probably diminish in the next few days. We'll be dealing with a very :( A when the time comes.

team canada for A!

1. just as I suspected, too small for my chunky guyhttp://tweetphoto.com/12504741about 20 hours ago via SocialScope
2. bought Aiden a team Canada sweater, hoping his solid body fits into it.about 21 hours ago via SocialScope

But does he not look SO ADORABLE in it? "Mama, mama, CHEESE!" Hoping to be able to exchange it for a size bigger. People are going wild for these things. I mean, why not, we are winning.

virtue & moir, my new heroes

In complete LOVE with the way these two do their thing.

dear john ...

Christie, a friend of mine, lent me this novel (finally :P) and I've been spending most of my day trying to read as much as I can of this novel in each sitting. I didn't realize just how much harder it was to read with Aiden around. He's at a stage where he must show me everything - how it works, how he wants it to work, what he wants to do with it. He loves hanging out with Ryan and I and I love seeing how he's learning so much daily. It's truly amazing how he's able to communicate with us and us with him without any words at all. He's growing up too fast.

Back to the novel, I've yet to get to the mushy bit but this novel truly excites me. I can catch myself smiling at the words as I'm reading them and living vividly through the characters - is that crazy? I'm such a girl. Hoping to have this done before Reading Week ends (if A lets me), because after this free week, the assignments and projects will be piling in. SEVEN MORE WEEKS OF MY UNDERGRADUATE LIFE.

mama, what's this?

Aiden is so cute. We haven’t experience that much snow this Winter – I even returned the snow pants that we bought him! But every time it snows, it’s like he rediscovers the fluffy stuff. He stares at it, stares at it some more … with utter satisfaction. Don’t worry baby boy, next year … I’ll hope for more snow for you (or we’ll take you to Blue Mountain or something … who really wants more snow?)
