warm memories

my daughter keeps asking if we can go to the beach.

my thermometer outside the window says it's -18C/-4F 

and that's not including the windchill.

i think the beach is for another day....a far off day.

so here's a few warm memories.

(they were taken on my iphone *tear* and posted on instagram, and now they're here for you to enjoy)

bridge the gap

i love bridges. 

i love train bridges.

i love bridges for traffic.

and foot bridges.

this is a bridge along a trail near our house.

snowboard lessons

he wants to be like his dad.

what a great Jan 1st when daddy took him outside to begin the snowboard lessons.

generations

I didn't take my camera out much over the Christmas holidays.

i felt like being in everything happening this year. and not outside capturing it all.

i did take it out for a few special shots.

great granddaughter and great grandma.

me and my girl

her: age 3yrs and 8 months

me: age 37 years and 4 months

a friend saw a similar picture on pinterest.  

that picture was of both full faces, of mother and daughter.

suggesting the idea to take one each year to watch the changes.

this was the one i did by myself.  

i may still do the other one at some point.

Santa's Claus Parade

My kids look so forward to the Santa Claus Parade.

They love the lights.

They love the floats.

They LOVE the fire trucks and Police cars.

they, however, do not like the cold.

it was a great night, at the end of November.

it was cold.

the parade was a lot of fun.

but by i put my camera away quite quickly.

my hands were cold.

my kids were cold.

no picture of Santa..or any of the floats...just the first fire engine.

so excited
