Date Night

Posted on November 17, 2012 by Gwen

I am not sure that I can get used to this thing that is a date night. Anthony and I are getting out more in the last month than we did all year. I knew that if we got season tickets to The Arts Club we would be assured of getting out at least 5 times over the course of a year. So far we’ve seen two of the plays and while the first one wasn’t quite what we expected, the second was quite humorous and more to our liking.  Now we just need a babysitter for the next outing, Anthony’s work Christmas party. I think we are going to see the new Cirque de Soleil sometime in early December. I guess I need to get on finding a babysitter soon.

Picture of Our Year

Posted on November 16, 2012 by Gwen

I am in the midst of trying to get our calendar put together so I am looking for pictures of our year. Through its ups and downs here are some of the highlights.

One Sunday morning.

Super Swimmer Quinlan

Quinlan’s new tutu.

Biking along English Bay

Aidan’s first time in a canoe, he is hooked.

My big boy.

Quinlan at the Quay

Brothers

Quinlan really makes an effort to win the tug of war.

I love the look on Aidan’s face.

This happens a lot.

Aidan and Laura at his last showcase with her.

Anthony keeps trying to get a good picture of me.

I still have a hard time looking at  this and the other pictures from Aidan’s birthday last year. I still feel sick when I think about how sick he got and how long it took to get him diagnosed. He was so happy and it was the best day until it was the worst. I am immediately transported back to what was the scariest time for me as  parent. I can’t see the fun we all had up on a bright sunny mountain, I just see the pain and the days following. I have no idea how I kept it together then because looking at these pictures there are tears streaming down my face.
