Monday at the Diaper Gym

On Mondays, Mommy and I go to the diaper gym at 10:30. There are lots of other little kids there the same size as me. But today it was snowing pretty hard in Shawnigan Lake BC. We barely made it up the hill to the community center in my Mom's car, and we didn't see very many kids there. Mom thought we should leave a little early when the snow wasn't letting up. It took a lot of careful and slow driving to get home. But I'm glad I got to play for a little while!

In this last photo, the custodian of the center came in to tell the Moms that is was snowing really hard outside. Most of us had to cut our time short at the gym.

Butterfly Gardens

Mommy and Daddy and I went to an indoor tropical paradise today and saw many different colored butterflies, flowers, and some strange looking birds!

More Signs of Spring

Spring has Sprung!

This huge hail-storm went right over Reece's soccer match and out to the water.



Reece's U11 Team came in first place this year. Way to go Reece!



I had so much fun on Easter with my family!

A Prayer in Spring

by Robert Frost
Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.

Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,
Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;
And make us happy in the happy bees,
The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.

And make us happy in the darting bird
That suddenly above the bees is heard,
The meteor that thrusts with needle bill,
And off a blossom in mid-air stands still.

For this is love and nothing else is love,
The which it is reserved for God above
To sanctify to what far ends He will,
But which it only needs that we fulfill.

Happy St. Patrick's day!

St. Patrick was a Roman Britain-born Christian missionary and is the patron saint of Ireland along with Brigid of Kildare and Columba. When he was about sixteen he was captured by Irish raiders and taken as a slave to Ireland, where he lived for six years before escaping and returning to his family. He entered the church, as his father and grandfather had before him, becoming a deacon and a bishop. He later returned to Ireland as a missionary in the north and west of the island, but little is known about the places where he worked and no link can be made between Patrick and any church. By the eighth century he had become the patron saint of Ireland. The Irish monastery system evolved after the time of Patrick and the Irish church did not develop the diocesan model that Patrick and the other early missionaries had tried to establish.

Island Sun

Here are a few photos we took at the Mill Bay boat launch, and the Malahat Summit. Jade has been sick all week with the flu, and it was her first real day out since Saturday.

West Coast Snack

Once again, I was sleeping while my Mom & Dad enjoyed a big bowl of fresh crab that was caught by a friend. (I'm not suppose to eat shellfish until I'm 2 anyway.)

Sunny Saturday

Mom took me and Reece to the skateboard park today. It's still a little cold when the wind blows, but it was a lovely sunny day today.
