We cheered. They lost. And he learned a new emotion - disappointment. #getusedtoitkid #AtticusJames’
It’s 8am and our house already looks like a circus. #AtticusJames
Happy Valentines Days my love! I thought of all the ways I could publicly declare my love for you in a special, more personal way... and I came up with this (written in Vulcan 🤓!): I ashaya du nash-gad weht do za-gad, hi ri u' mau u' fa-gad. I dungi spend t'nash-veh ha'kiv loving du. Happy Valentines Day to my baby too, if I were to write you a special message it would be in whatever language Moana speaks (besides English...). :)
They’re cute, I’ll keep ‘em. #AtticusJames
Had a wonderful day at the #canadianchildrensmuseum at the @canmushistory! It is really geared to 3+, but it is still magical at any age (including 30!). Also, explored Canada’s history and Canada’s Stamp Collection - loved all of it.
Last week of maternity leave and we are going out big! This was yesterday’s adventure at My Gym, a membership-based gym class, in Barrhaven. Had a lot of fun trying tunnels, swings and the ball pits for the first time. We just attended a trial class because it is too far for us to go regularly, but #AtticusJames loved it (minus getting bonked on the head when they were setting up the swings). 😳
Only two weeks left at home with these two faces. It’s hard to believe these nine months have went so quickly even though at the time, each day and night - especially in the newborn phase - felt so long. It has been a blessing to have this time and I can’t wait for Hugh to send me updates, photos and videos of #AtticusJames and @reesethebully’s shenanigans while he is on his parental leave. #passingthebaton #goodluck
What a little 💎 in Paris, Ontario! This old mill (and former Canadian Tire location) is now the home to a vibrant little market and maker space! Had a amazing #matchalatte from @thebluedogcafe and shopped @birdandbeevintage and @theoliveoilco.brantford (all 3 from my hometown!).
Dropped this little fishy in the pool for the first time. I can verify he doesn’t float and doesn’t know how to swim. ;) But he spent 45 min. splashing around and drinking pool water.
