Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada

Thanks to a stranger, we have a family picture.

Kyri painted her face.

Rivi played in the water.

And Ori attracted several new friends.

Winter 2011

We are all learning to skate, but Rivi is willing to put in the most hours.


Kyri would rather watch from the bench.


Ori is pretty good, which means I haven't seen him fall yet.


And here is Kyri, happy once her skates are off.

Big bright eyes


Catching the butterfly


Princessed up...always.


Marble Run - lots of fun

Time out for tea with a tiger

A mermaid (but not Ariel)

Ready for school


Rivi chose the fabric, designed the dress,
and did a lot of the sewing.


A lovely Sunday (today)...


for a walk on the Grand River Trail.

Kyri turned 3 on Saturday...

Most importantly...

we celebrated Rivi's 5th birthday!


"just what I wanted, a pearl ring"


and overnight, she grew


and what a celebration is has been.

We've also...

painted the walls pink,


replaced old carpet,


gardened


and gallumphed

Since we've been home, we have...
