T’was the Season!
What an amazing Holiday season we’ve had this year! My phone began to make this little video and I tried to add as many pictures as it would permit and it still left some out! As the boys get older, and our seasons get busier we try to enjoy as Continue Reading
Going on an Egg Hunt
It was a pretty quiet Easter Sunday for us. No fancy dinners or celebrations, but we were able to catch Nana in between IHN duties and so we headed over to her house for our fun little egg hunt. Serena had deco’ed a dozen eggs ‘inspired by Martha’ the night Continue Reading
Happy Mother’s Day!
We celebrated another very special Mother’s Day this year with the new advent of our little Aidan. We’d planned for something low key, but once again another spontaneous Winkler adventure marked its course. David had a couple appointments to run in the morning, but Nana popped over for a pancake Continue Reading
Our Little Valentine
We had a lot of fun last week, delving into a bit of Valentine’s bliss. On Wednesday, Mama and Alexander made cookie dough and punched out a few dozen little heart cookies. He’s always excited to get out the rolling pin and make the punches- the trickiest part, getting him Continue Reading

This year we got to celebrate quite officially two Thanksgivings. Thursday, David and Alexander spent the morning (while sick-mama took some quiet time) helping Nana tuck in the yard with raking and weed pulling. And we all headed out to a (heaven-forbid) restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner. Yes, we are slightly Continue Reading
Mummy’s Day Take Two
It was our second Mother’s day together and a quiet one for our family. The rain snuffed out our flower shopping plans but instead we took Alexander to an indoor playplace called Urban Toddler. He had a good time exploring the place but it was just a bit too old Continue Reading
So This is Christmas…
“So,” said Alexander, sitting amidst strewn paper and bows, and in the shadows of towering presents, “this is Christmas!” We celebrated our Christmas “gala” day on Monday, the 24th. Brian and Renee had been staying with us since Saturday Night, and Sunday evening after baby was in bed, we transfered Continue Reading
(Almost) Ready for Christmas!
First Introduction to the Christmas Tree We’ve really been having a lot of fun this year jumping wholeheartedly into the holiday spirit.
