Ma Petite Fleur

One of our friends is putting together a gift basket for a silent auction and needed a little girl to model the dress she made. Since Ella loves to wear dresses and also loves to smile for the camera, she was the right person for the job. Her company is called "Ma Petite Fleur", how appropriate!

 At one point I told Ella to stand up nice and tall, so she of course went right up on her tiptoes.

We didn't get very many pictures this week because Ella and Juliette were both sick. They are now feeling better, but Juliette still has a cough. It was a rough week with the girls not sleeping well and not feeling well, but it is so nice to have them back to their happy selves. 

 This week we learned that you can never be too sick to go out for tea and cupcakes to celebrate a good friend's birthday. I told Ella that if she was feeling better we were going to take Moo out for lunch and cupcakes. When she woke up in the morning she said "I'm feeling good, let's go take Moo for cupcakes!"

Here's a picture of Ella feeling better, comforting Juliette who is not feeling very good.

Stanley Park with Grandpa

Yesterday Grandpa Clark came to town for a visit. It was a beautiful day, so we went to Stanley park to play at the park and at the beach. Afterwards we went for lunch at Cardero's. Thanks for the visit, Grandpa Clark!

 Juliette has been to the lake and she has seen the ocean, but yesterday was her first time putting her feet in the ocean. 

Week 32

I am now in week 32 of pregnancy. Ella and Juliette are very excited to meet their new sibling. They have come with me to a few of my doctor's appointments and Juliette does a funny impression of the baby's heartbeat. She points to my tummy and says "Momma baby heartbeat, whoosh whoosh whoosh" (trying to sound like the doppler heartbeat monitor that we hear at the doctor).

The big question is will we have a baby boy or a baby girl? We didn't find out the gender of our baby and we are curious what you think. Make sure to cast your vote (at the top right of this page)!

Breakfast Fun

Juliette has graduated from her highchair to a booster seat. Ella and Juliette now sit across from each other at the table. Who knew mealtime could be this much fun?!

Visit with the Lungs

Yesterday we had a nice visit with the Lungs. The girls were so excited to see Jonas and Mattias. The highlight for Ella was riding bikes with Jonas to the park. As she tells it, they were going 'super fast'. They actually were going quite fast. Jonas seems to always go fast, and Ella wanted to keep up with him. When we asked Ella what her favourite part of the day was she said "going super fast on my Strider with Jonas".

Somehow we didn't get any pictures with Mattias in them. He is now 10-months-old and he was showing off his new trick of clapping his hands. Juliette enjoyed his company and called him "Tias".

Happy Easter!

Thank-you Grandma Jo-Ann for the pretty Easter dresses.

On Monday we went to Uncle Moe and Auntie Lynne's for a delicious Easter dinner.

Thank-you Auntie Morgan for the Easter gifts!

Ella enjoyed riding on the teeter totter with Uncle Moe, who she kept calling "Grandpa Moe".
