This is a picture of our new home's backyard. It is one of the main reasons we bought the house. The kids have really enjoyed playing outside and seem to be doing a lot more of that than at the old house.

Isla_Soccer
Here is what Isla does at Keir's soccer practice, she is multi tasking: playing with a cone and trying to rip her hat off.
Keir_Soccer
Here is Keir "practicing" his soccer skills. I say practicing because at 4.5 yrs old they really just chase the ball (and little critters) around.
Keir_Soccer1
Keir is playing soccer this year, this pic was taken right before the first practice, he was pretty excited to get started. His team is called the Blue Jays and he wears number 5!
Toothy_Isla
More of Isla eating, you get to see her teeth here, she actually 4 more that have popped through on the top row!

Have I mentioned Isla likes eating? Could you have guessed by this picture :-)
She will eat absolutely anything, unlike her brother who is still a picky eater.

Moving_Day2
Here is Keir and I taking a break on moving day, I am drinking an iced coffee, it was well over 30degrees and very humid and we all sweated a lot!
Moving_Day1
This was Keir helping with moving day, things didn't go as smoothly as we would have liked but we are happy in the our new house now.

-Still Alive-
Blogging hasn't really been top of my list of things to do these days but time for an update.
I operate on the very simple principle/saying: "That which doesn't kill you will only make you stronger"... well lets just say that we are going to be much STRONGER after the past couple of weeks.
We have moved from our first family home to our new home. We bought the home back in November of last year and had a long closing.
The move process was chaotic (there seemed to be a problem or two everyday for a whole week), made even more chaotic with two small kids. Keir has responded extremely well to the move, and really hasn't missed a beat. Isla on the other hand... Isla got sick a couple of days after the move and was reduced to a poor wimpering, snautering, sickly little girl. The result was not a whole lot of sleep for mom and dad and Isla. She is feeling better now, but her sleep patterns seem to all out of whack, hopefully the will return to normal soon.
Hopefully that didn't sound to negative (I hate that) so to balance things off here are some positives:
Manotick (where we moved too) is absolutely beautiful
Our street is amazing, everyone is really friendly
My commute to work is a 10min run, 4min bike (if I take the short way to work) and I haven't used to car to get to work yet!
Our backyard is the best part, Keir (and Isla) love it.
I will post some pics soon, when I have some more time
That all for now
take care
