We bought a beautiful photograph from a local artist.

We also walked through the Parc Mount Royal in the city for a scenic walk.

This was one of the most memorable trips we took as a couple. We realized how much we needed this. It’s been a while since it was just us twos and it really gave us chance to take a breath and review our relationship and talk (more importantly, listen) to each other.

I’m looking forward to many more trips like this…

Thank you so so so much to our wonderful friends, R & D who offered to babysit the kids so  we could take this trip. We had no doubts that the kids were in good hands… Your friendship means the world to us.

Thank you for the biggest treat, P & C!

I got a new mixer last Friday and since then I’ve been making all kinds of smoothies for the family.

The sweetest cookie doughs. 🙂

Maple syrup, some local artist prints, maple jellybeans, and a ♡ dress. 

Andrew came back from his business trip with lots of presents for me and the kids. It’s been a long week for me without him and we’re very happy to have him back. 🙂

I took Chloe to Madison Square Garden for a Disney Princess on Ice show this morning. We had  a great date. She had her first subway experience getting there too. This evening when she prayed, she said, “Dear God, … thank you for mommy and the princess on ice show and Ariel barbie…I pray for mommy so she can get well rest tonight…”

How great is she!

We got our first real christmas tree last night. It smells amazing in the house…

I'm finally home! It's so good to be back with my family. Yesterday was all about mommy mommy mommy day! The kids couldn't be anymore ecstatic that I'm back.

I splurged on kids clothing while I was in Paris. They were so hard to resist… too Cute…

Chloe kissed Shane and he said, "thank you Chloe".
