It's been a really, really strange winter here in Toronto--although I feel like we say that every year. It's oscillated between frigid temperatures where mere minutes outside puts us in tears and balmy weather where you wonder if it's skipped spring altogether. Remarkably there seems to be a lot of regular "flurries" that come and go and sometimes never amount to much. And then there has been the occasional day that it snows and stays for awhile.
The rink has thawed and refrozen and so we have been out there enjoying it when we can, and cursing the amount of space it uses up when its a big soupy slushy pool of water too cold to step in and not cold enough to skate on. But we are still happy we made it.
My parents were here for a week or so and the kids kept them busy with their high level of energy--everything from Gabriel's big birthday bash to a trip to see St. Jacob's Market in Waterloo. We were sooo happy and relieved to have them around since both Jordan and I have been nose to the grindstone since September last year. A lot of time spent around here with my parents--playing in the yard, hide-and-go-sneak, boink, hungry hippos, Paw Patrol, making amazing melt in your mouth valentine's day cookies and out for a couple of walks in the beautiful morning winter light. Here are just a few of those shots.
