Spectacles.

On very first Friday of January, Abby got glasses. Two months ago, a random vision test in school determined that Abby required further eye examinations. You see {excuse the pun!}, her parent's do not wear glasses. We never saw any major clues that she needed to wear them. Looking back, she watched tv with her head turned slightly and tentative walking up/down the stairs. One eye was compensating for the other.  Farsightedness which now all makes sense.
{Selected a pink 'princess' glasses bag.}

I watched Abby in the car the ENTIRE ride home in the rear view window. Her eyes opened wide, moving her eyes all around, her hand touching the window while looking out the window. I couldn't help but wonder what she was seeing with her newly improved vision. Then I felt really bad, like we failed her big time. {Nick later told me he felt the same way.}Two weeks in, Abby is wearing her specs without hesitation. Thata girl. xo

January Snapshots.


A quiet Friday night. {And Nick is not monopolizing the laptop watching live evening NHL games!} Finally uploaded some iPhone photos of the new year.
As you can see, our DIY cupboard blackboard is getting good use.
Hudson now sits down in his big chair turning pages of books. This I love.
We spent New Years day afternoon walking along a harbour and explored a path that I've never walked on before. It's not like our town is really big either. It's cool that we haven't seen everything yet! Abby wanted to play in a playground and Nick suggested a great one that is fenced in. {Perfect for a two year old that tends to run away!} Of course, we couldn't play that long as the days still get really dark early. Seriously can't wait for Spring. I know. . . Old Man Winter has just begun!

Happy 2012.


Here we are December 31st, 2011 approx 7:30pm. Abby & me made homemade paper hats for the "boys" {as she tends to say} and we adorned our headbands with paper flower-ettes.
There is always so much to say on here and then I get busy with life {totally overlooked Hudson's 2nd birthday, Christmas photos, et al}.
I sure hope you & yours have happy and healthy new year!
Love, April xoxo
