First Day of Spring

It was a beautiful sunny day yesterday so we headed out to the lake to go for a walk and check out a few playgrounds. Oliver fell asleep right after the first stop...but Mike and I made the most of it by sitting next to the water and enjoying a donut and coffee while Oliver snoozed in the carrier. He had a second wind at the second playground. He LOVES picking up handfulls of sand or bark and piling them up, and sometimes putting them in his mouth.

Trip to Victoria

My mom moved into her new house in James Bay (within walking distance to the inner harbor) last week and my sister was coming down from Yellowknife, so we decided to go over to Victoria for the weekend. My other sister Also came down, so it was a pretty full house with all of us there. Oliver really loved all the ferry rides. And now that he is really walking, he wanted to explore everything on foot. He still needs a hand now and then, but he's getting pretty confident.


It was a gorgeous day for a ferry ride!


We all walked downtown to see the sights and stopped for lunch at the noodle box. Oliver had apples.

We did a little shopping with Aleah...there was even a few things that interested Oliver at American Apparel!



Oliver loved walking around the city streets and unlike his dad, he REALLY loved the street performers! He especially liked the accordian played - he would not take his eyes off her and got upset when we left...


Such a beautiful day. Oliver and his ladies.


A few last minutes of playing with auntie Aleah before she headed back home.
