Wizard of Oz

Every year Nee Nee, Riley and I go for a girls day in Toronto to see a play. This year it was the Wizard of Oz. What an amazing production. Our own little Dorothy was pretty amazing too.

Anything Can Happen If You Let It

Riley, Nee Nee and I spent another beautiful day together. It started with Riley and I driving to Yorkdale Mall, shopping a little, stocking up at Starbucks and taking the subway to the Eaton Centre where we met Nee Nee.

We shopped a little bit more, hailed a cab, stopped for lunch and enjoyed the musical Mary Poppins.

Riley sat captivated, literally at the edge of her seat for the entire performance.

After the show, we went for a "fancy dinner" and ordered "fancy drinks." My little Riley ordered an entree of salmon, wild rice and veg and she ate the entire thing. She then ordered white chocolate crepes for dessert. She is a champ. Riley and I got back on the subway and arrived back at Yorkdale Mall 10 hours after we left there that morning. Riley asked me if we could continue shopping!!! This girl has got stamina. Another beautiful day with my best girls.

Cooper's First Class Trip - Avalon Apple Orchard

Cooper's Montessori School took a class trip to a local apple orchard. The original plan was for me to take a personal day off work and go with him. I was uncomfortable with him going alone with his crying and being so young. As it usually happens, our life is full of twists and turns. You know the kind when someone cuts away the insulation and a mouse nest falls out. That kind. As our luck would have it, my school scheduled class photos on the exact same day as the trip. I had to be at school. A class photo without the teacher...not so good. So, to make a short story even longer, Nee Nee the great stepped in. She worked on a weekend in order to have the week day off to go with Coop on his trip. She even snapped a few photos for me.

Thanks Nee Nee.
