Somewhere over the last few months, my little girl, has become my BIG girl. At 20 months yesterday, Apple is tiny compared to her brother, but fearless. She is long and lean and has the abs I have dreamed of all my life. Her metabolism is incredible as she eats and eats and eats.
Where J and I can easily enjoy an afternoon with a movie and popcorn, Apple will have none of it. She is raring to go whenever she is awake. And her new favourite word is ‘outside’. I fear the rain that is coming for tomorrow and Thursday not that we can’t go out in the rain, but it makes it much more difficult for me. And sliding down the slide is a no-no for a 20 month old in the rain. And can I add that this is no toddler slide, but the slide on the play structure that was made for a three year old and up. She climbs the ladder and slides down all on her own. Be still my heart.
Her newest dare devil attempt today was the swing. Not her baby swing, that I love and cherish, but the big girl swing. She hung on and swung along side her brother. Laughing, squealing and enjoying the moment. She only let go and tumbled down once and it was party my fault as she was doing so well that I leaned over to push J for a second.
If this is what I am faced with at 20 months, what is going to happen when she turns two?
Friday night had our skies painted a gorgeous pink, I had to get a photo.
Saturday night brought our first Rainbow of the season, we were able to see both sides. All of us made it outside, teenager included.
Sunday we made it to the Tulip Festival. The news made it seem like more of the flowers were out, but next weekend should be even better, so we will be going again. It was still a nice day to get out.
J, in his tree. This is the second year in a row that he had to climb this tree. And Apple being a cheeky little girl, not wanting a picture taken.
Finally got a smile out of her.
There were a few patches of daffodils that were just stunning. I tried to get some pictures of the kids with these as a backdrop, but Apple was just not into the photo op at the time.
J was intently watching some Buskers perform. In this photo he just looks like such a little man, reminds me that he is growing up so fast.
and it hardly feels like two. However, it really was ten years ago that Hubby and I got married. By this time we were just finishing up supper, Prime Rib, and starting our rounds of dancing and talking to everyone. I barely remember the night, but it was fun and we got married, that is all that matters.
Two years ago I posted these photos, so I thought I would pull them out again because, well they are the only ones on my computer.
The first one is the favorite of all our wedding shots. We were married at a golf course, not ten minutes away from our house now. It was a hot day, almost 30C (86F) and windy.
And here we are on our Honeymoon in Cancun. And the worst part about this photo? I am trying to hide my ‘fat’ body behind Hubby’s arm. Isn’t that hilarious? Considering I am a at least 15lbs lighter and far more physically fit in this photo than I am now. Hubby is a little heavier now too, but he is one of those guys were you don’t really notice, makes me mad sometimes.
Just look at that blue ocean, man I miss Mexico. But, after all this flu stuff, I don’t see myself going there anytime soon.
Happy Anniversary Hubby, it’s been a great ten years. Here’s to the next ten and may we have our young bodies back by then ;).
