preparing the backyard rink

It's been a long time since any updates. Just business as usual around here. DD is sleeping through the nights and just has a cranky period around 9pm. LL is hockey obsessed like every good Montreal kid. Our basement is almost fixed up (since our August plumbing leak)...just waiting for that darn carpet to arrive. I've also been faithfully going to road hockey this year, since DD is sleeping and we've instituted QUIET TIME for LL in the afternoon. It's now officially cold. I'm getting tired of elections. Can't wait for spring.

Here's DD at 3 months. Recently we've been reminded by Holden of the magic of 5-layer swaddling.

Frosty lasted a couple of days before melting away. Not to worry I'm sure LL will have plenty more cracks at snowman making.

For the past couple of months we've been borrowing Mr. Dressup DVDs from the library- so LL has almost completely forgotten his toys and has been absorbed by his bricolage. Here he is putting on a play for us.

For most of the past year LL wanted to be Lightning McQueen for Halloween. Thankfully with a month to go he decided he just wanted to be a hockey player (whew!). Every year he feels a little silly getting dressed up and going to school like this but after he sees all the other kids he feels much less self-conscious. Here's Mr. Happy on the way to school.

After coming home from Massachusetts, we had a quick visit from Phil and Hanny and the Grant and his family came for the day. We spent a good part of the day touring the numerous parcs of Outremont. Here's LL hanging around at Parc Beaubien.
