Soon

Posting will be quiet over the next week as I'll be away. Skiiing! We are very much looking forward to our week in Tremblant.

Lots of snow.
Ice.
Fresh air.
Spectacular scenery.

And plenty of apres-ski :)

Hopefully, I will return refreshed, energized, and (most importantly) with all of my beloved limbs in tact.

See you soon!!!

When you are 3

...life is pretty darn good.

Gotcha

I felt like a stalkerazee down on the beach today.
But I finally got him!



The sound of the ice breaking up on the lake today was just too beautiful for words.

V Day

For your listening pleasure, let me introduce Carla Bruni.



Valentines in this household is pretty casual. Mark will be taking the boys and I out to our favourite pub for dinner. Then we will tuck the kids into bed and enjoy a bottle of wine and a movie.

Hope you are having a wonderful day!

Check it Out

This Place

I love, love this place. It's a beautiful place. A place, where you can let your thoughts roam, listen to the song of the birds, and escape the frenetic buzz of the city.

I've been coming here for years. As a child, I used to cycle its paths. As an adult, I've logged many a mile - training for marathons, walking, thinking, reflecting, photographing. I even came here alone on the morning of my wedding day.

And I will miss it so.

We've been grappling with the idea of a move for awhile now. We are out of space. The boys require better schools. I would love to set up a proper studio. So it looks like we are headed to suburbia. We're planning on putting the house up for sale next month and we'll see what happens. It's exciting and terrifying. It's going to be a big change.

Do you have a favourite place you always return to?
I'd love to hear about it!

Here is a view of the spit, taken from Cherry Beach.

I Want This

...so badly.

Sigh......

Do your husbands/partners read your blog? I don't think mine does.

But just in case.....I thought I'd try.

(this is my valentine's wish xoxox)

Still Waiting

Still waiting for my roof to be repaired. Apparently, I'm not the only one in the city of Toronto with a roofing crisis at the moment?!? Yes. We've had that much snow.

The boys are still blissfully happy.
They were made for winter.



They also make going out to take pictures much more fun.

Thank you boys
for making
me
smile.

And the Sun Appeared

brightly



and warmly



...melting the 3000 lbs of snow on our roof, which is now conveniently in the boys bedroom.

Life is still good.
It is just going to cost a little more.
I'm off to look for a good roofer.
