february family day fun

First cousin shot of all six of them together!

One of Stew's big goals for 2018 was building a community corkicurl rink. This idea is based off a Winnipeg tradition, and we were very lucky to have our ice be cold and strong enough for two days of fun. People came out, the tv crews arrived and we were on the news - it was very fun, we raised money for charity and we are all proud of Stew and his dedication.

Saturday night rib dinner fun.

Our new rug has arrived. I've looked for over three years for a rug that would fit this room, make it warmer, and not break the bank. It was not easy....we finally found a 9 by 12 wool version at West Elm on a boxing day sale and I love it. We are getting the rug pad next week and over March break we will be doing some bedroom reorganizing, so I suspect I'll get the itch to move things around downstairs.

Henry is building a tractor pull here.

A few gifts for all my loves on Valentine's Day. The two chapter books are for Anna and they are fantastic STEM based books about a girl named Cali that wants to be a vet.

This is also a great book we borrowed from Andy - 5 Minute Hockey Stories.

This was the snow around the ice last weekend, its melted a lot, but these banks were between 4 and 5 feet high.

My Dad is recovering from knee surgery, so he's taking it easy and resting a lot. It's been a good break and we love spending more time with him. Henry is doing is funny face here.

Anna and Henry getting their Sunday snuggles with Sarah. She's getting big, she's almost 2 months old now and weighs over 12lbs, she's a snuggle bug and Henry loves holding her.
