Zoo








There is a little zoo about half an hour away from us, and although Natasha doesn't really understand it yet, she has taken interest in a few wolves and monkeys, and notices a cat here and there. And, she likes to pat the zebra. It is a wonderful place for little kids, she can run free there!

Stained Glass Stuff





Here are the things I've made recently. The kitty is for me, the cherry tree for Rob and Angela, the moon for Melissa, and the purple tulips for Deanna. I also made a different kind of tree for Paul and Sarah, and a sunset for Lenka, but I forgot to take pictures of those!

The Climber

We got this climber for $25 at a garage sale yesterday. Natasha loves it. She has slid down, fallen down sideways, and head-first, and always gets back up for more.

Little Drummer Girl

Natasha likes all musical instruments, but the drums have to be her favourite. We bought her this drum set in Vancouver, it's awesome.

She Thinks She's So Funny...




Natasha loves acting like a goof. Here are some recent pictures, of her wearing her dad's shoes (which she put on herself), her eating markers (she loves to colour, and she also loves to put the caps back on the markers, and sneak a taste of ink here and there), and her climbing into the dirty mopping water (she loves the water!)

Cottage Party



A few weekends ago my big boss had a party at her cottage. Natasha could not get enough of the water, even though it was cold, she just kept running to it, trying to dive in (note, it is about 23 feet deep right off the dock - no shallow areas.) We could contain her for a bit in the round tube, but she could climb out pretty quickly.

The Hair Cut





Ryan insisted she didn't need one, but after a trip to the pool and her coming out from the water, and her hair being down to her lips, I decided, even though the curls were priceless, they needed to come off. Here are some before and after shots.
