I forgot to post these photos from last month when Grandma L was visiting. We visited Duke Gardens on a beautiful spring day and all the flowers were in bloom.

a bunny halloween

this year R wanted to be a little bunny for hallowe’en. i made her a costume, complete with ears and a big white fluffy tail (my favorite part).

getting in character. at one point she had me give her a carrot to chew on (until she decided that this bunny doesn’t like carrots) and had a sofa-cushion-rabbit-hole where she hid with her two stuffed bunnies.

ee ee came to join in the fun this year

first we did some trick-or-treating with our friends and then walked through our own neighborhood, which was a great way to meet some neighbors.

taking inventory

we love grandparents

a butterfly birthday

A fourth birthday! I initially didn’t know if we would have a party this year, but at the end managed to put together a sweet butterfly birthday party for R and a few little friends.

Making our cake: the annual chocolate cake with whipped cream and strawberries.

Getting ready… butterflies! The happy birthday garland I made when she turned one made yet another appearance this year.

little friends. we made coffee filter butterflies and played games.

birthday cake. she loves (is obsessed with) birthday hats.

thanks for coming!

maplewood farm

sherwin-old — Fri, 04 Jul 2014 06:56:52 +0000

we spent a beautiful morning at maplewood farm in north vancouver. the little farm was the perfect size for a small person, and after seeing all the animals, we had a picnic lunch before going home.

ponies.

sheep.

attempt number one to see the bunnies. all the bunnies were hiding (for good reason) from the stampede of children. poor bunnies.

goats.

attempt number two after our picnic was a success! the morning crowds were gone, and they left their unwanted parsley on the ground… bunnies were hungry for lunch!

may is for mothers

Popo came to visit us earlier this month, just in time for Mother’s Day!

easter sunday

sherwin-old — Fri, 25 Apr 2014 05:00:26 +0000

this year i helped the children at church prepare a song to sing for the congregation, “As High As the Heavens”. it was uber cute, but more importantly, God was glorified.

Sunday school craft

after church we had two easter meals: first an easter lunch at the perry’s, (then nap) and then an easter dinner with our friends ben and ashley. food was delicious but forgot to take pics. needless to say we were full. in the afternoon, R got to hunt for eggs.
