In memory of Haraboji

Every new day brings me further from our last phone conversation, the last time I heard your voice, the last time you left a comment on my blog. The comments that would make me smile. I miss you so much and something always makes me remember you. Especially Sophia. How you use to say that I didn't understand what she was saying...that she wanted to go to Montreal to see Haraboji. I'm thinking of you.

Cousin Love


The only good part of last week was the cousins spending so much time together. They got along so well. It was so heart warming to see.
The only picture I could get of Halmoni was when she was sitting in her kitchen, and I asked the girls to sit around her so we could pin her down for a picture.
My sisters. Wish I lived closer to them.

Sophia at almost 19 months

The girls went back to school on Monday. The house was so calm and quiet. I liked it. I cleaned up the house, Sophia loved getting all the attention and I realized that the house is really chaotic because of the older two.
Now it is Wednesday, and the house is too quiet and I need my 2 six year old babysitters back. I don't know how many episodes of Wiggles I put on for Sophia in a day so that I can get some things done. It's 3:00 and my babysitters are back! Yipee! Sophia and I are both happy.
I know that these pics don't really have anything to do with the posts. Sophia got caught up in the excitement when the girls came through the door and had to run to go to the washroom.

Night Tubing

First time we headed outside on the hill at night with the girls and it was soooo pretty. It wasn't too cold, no wind and lots of lights and people. We will definitely have to go night skiing sometime this winter. The girls went tubing instead. I'm 100% sure that all the cousins out east would LOVE this. One day they can all go screaming down the hill together.
They went with their friends. You can ride down in a single tube, a double tube or
many tubes tied together in groups.
Wheee!!!!!!!!!!!!

Waiting patiently for their turn.
