The highlight of Cara's birthday was watching the girls deliver the gifts with gusto and then see them tell Cara about that they bought... After that, feel free to watch further.
As for the ballet? It was hilarious to watch, but ended in tragedy... If you listen closely, Teresa is upset as she did not learn how to do a pirouette of a jette...
So it has been a bit of time since we last posted but we have been much too busy using social media that is fully integrated into our so-called smart phones, but we need to post here now as today was a big day.
Today began with a trip to the Health Science Centre for Cara's ultrasound of hat-trick. The great news is that hattie was co-operative and the visit was quick. All appears well with hattie's heart and nervous system and s/he appears to be 18 weeks into the ball game. This of course was terribly depressing to me as I was hoping for a couple as Cara is showing like she's ready to pop... The tech called hattie "he" but I think that that is meaningless... Now for a couple of pics. I think s/he looks like me :)
So later in the day, Cara, Frances and I went to Teresa's first ballet class. She was super stoked for it, as she has been reading "Miss Lina's Ballerinas" much too often lately, and we upped the excitement by purchasing her a pink body suit, tights and ballet shoes. She matched that with the 'ballet' skirt auntie Jackie bought her a while back and she was ready.
Well, it was quite fun to watch and record. She ran herself to exhaustion that day and had a great bit of fun (even though she wouldn't admit it without threats - a new phase, coupled with the whiny phase it's awesome). It ended in a classic fashion that I hope to remember for years to come. Conveniently I have it on video, but it is still encoding so you'll have to wait a bit for it, and I don't want to give the ending away... In its place I have pictures for you (some of which will look familiar to those that tweet).
Well, for all you Luddites out there, you should be happy to hear that Cara's phone is not working, as such you are getting a large dose of the pictures taken by yours truly. It is Spring Break and Ray is helping us out in the basement with wiring, and I will be doing some plumbing... Keeping busy, especially considering the girls keep wanting to help and spend time with me. There are worse problems obviously :)
So here is some of the stuff over the last few days.
Apparently Frances enjoys watching Sesame Street from the comfort of a drawer...
Cara & her new toy
Another Frances looking cute in a chair moment...
Frances loves the Coke...
She is darned cute...
Playing on the floor of Future Shop
Yes this is my BlackBerry, why do you ask?
We went shopping for a birthday gift for Cara and someone ended up tuckered out (actually both gierls fell asleep in the van on the way home.
Teresa in her hole that 'needs' help to get out of... Save me daddy!
Were you aware we had a dog? I almost forgot. Sorry Rowdy buddy :-)
I am king of the hill! Or make that PRINCESS!!!
Anna came over for brunch and Teresa 'read' the girls her baptism story,
Frances decided a nap was unnecessary, but Cara disagreed.
And here is some video... I can't get enough of Frances saying "No, Daddy" It warms the heart.
Well, Cara and I have been mulling over phone options for the last little while and yesterday we finally Sid something about it. We will be dumping our landline and have both graduated to "smart" phones. Cara is the owner of a white Blackberry (with a pink cover of course) and I got an iPhone. Hopefully this makes our obsessive picture and video taking of the girls to the next level. Today I tested the iPhone's video, so here is Frances in all her glory and cuteness.
FYI her vocabulary and articulateness have increased exponentially since Christmas...
